On the subject of Japanese electronic musicians, has anyone mentioned Isao Tomita yet? You say tomato and I say Tomita.

Hi, Hmmm ... I would think that is way too classical to be considered progressive, no?

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I have to admit that I'm more attracted to Koenji Hyakkei, but yet, they're not enough rocking to me. |

When looking at my own personal history of worshipping Japanese Prog, these are the years when I became fond of the albums in my collection: Stomu Yamashta - Raindog (1975) - 1975 Stomu Yamash'ta (J) & Come To The Edge - Floating Music (1972) - 2000 Far East Family Band (J) - Nipponjin (1975) - 2005 Bi Kyo Ran (J) - Bi Kyo Ran (1982) - 2009 Flower Travellin’ Band - Made In Japan (1972) - 2010 Osamu Kitajima (J) - Benzaiten (1976) - 2010 Bondage Fruit (J) - II (1996) - 2011 Flower Travellin’ Band (J) - Satori (1971) - 2014 I can also tell that since the 70's, I've been very glad of other aspects of Japanese culture and not least movies and some martial art, and I think it could be interesting to hear others telling a little about their encounter with Japanese music or other aspects of their culture.

Yes, it has been quite a lot of years since I became fond of a new-to-me Japanese album the last time - maybe I should again do something special about it. I've been thinking about something being particular for Japanese Prog as being a part of Japanese culture, but I guess that I don't know enough about the music to be able to say anything about that - but there's of course some influence from the traditional/classical Japanese music.

Some historical lyrics though: Flower Travellin' Band - "Hiroshima" Once upon a summer day In their midst, a mushroom grewThey never saw They never, never knew They're walking on the street Making shadows on the wall They're sitting on the steps Melting into stone Children of the mushroom Aren't we all, aren't we all (from the album Made in Japan (1972))

I just listened to Benzaiten, and were thinking that your tastes are certainly only conservative in some ways, since you're for instance fond of this album and don't seem to find it too weird. I can tell about myself that I enjoy very much its "weirdness" (compared to traditional European music), but I've been also used to traditional Japanese culture since the 70's when I saw the first samurai movies.

Twenty years ago, I had CDs of Ars Nova, Gerard (80's), KBB, Mugen, Outer Limits, Pageant, Pale Acute Moon, and Six North.
When I first listened to an album of Gerard from the 80's, I laughed hearing the vocals in Japanese. So I only have 2 CDs of KBB and one of Gerard (90's). And I almost have the same point of view for 70's Italian progressive rock and old bands from my country like Ange and Magma.

The first times I heard Japanese in some samurai movies many years ago, I didn't like it either. But then I got used to it, and after I've seen a lot of Japanese movies the last 5-10, I actually really love to hear it. I can't quite say concerning Japanese vocals, as I haven't heard so many of them - but I haven't notice anything there bothering me.

Now I remember that Osamu Kitajima's vocals on Benzaiten sound weird to me, but I actually like quite a lot that weirdness.
