KENSO II

Idea considered so that band leader's Yoshihisa Shimizu may start this "Kenso" in full scale at student's time. Or, it is guessed that the zeal conceived power to make only at that time. The band started exactly at beginning of event of the 80's. Of course, they had formed the band at high school student's time. However, the leader was talking that there were some obstructions in the situation in which they were left so that they might walk in full scale in the history of music as "Kenso".

The band of their Prog Rock for the market of Prog Rock of Japan of the 80's though the band had been acting since student's time. Or, it is true not to be in order of the situation for Scene of Jazz Rock either. All works are announced exactly in the form of independent production for their initial works.

And, the situation of the music of Japan to the real start of the member and the leader of the band of Kenso for advancing the band. Or, the situation in which the leader is left. Coexisting of work to have originally until shifting to band leader at student's time. It is guessed that there were a little trouble and a flow to the band. However, the intention and zeal that starts advancing the band in full scale though the form of independent production is taken appear completely in the work.

They have been discharging energy that had it really at that time since the time of 1st Album announced in the form of independent production in 1980. Prog Rock exactly faced the state of the revolution for the market of music in the early the 80's. To establish it, the flow to which their musician took the element of minority at that time, Prog Rock on the dawn in the 70's might have spent a lot of time. It is said that "Sora ni hikaru", "Hyoto", and "Sayonara Progre", etc. had been completed at time when 1st Album has already been announced. The situation of a band active as the form of independent production was taken in Prog Rock Scene of Japan that faced the revolution period including them at the dawn might have been really difficult. I think that their debuts were the especially impacts for the listener in Japan.

The zeal is a composition of the tune to have already appeared in an initial work and not to think that it is a band in Japan completely. Or, how to make the sound. And, the height of the technology of the performance. The method of the expression by the composition of the band splendidly makes the directionality of the music at which they aim at that time an embodiment though the flutist existed in their initial works.

The sound of other various bands will be able to be imagined if it listens to the tune of the band. The idea of Prog Rock and Jazz Rock that the Japanese thought about though it had the element of PFM, Gentle Giant, and Brand X will have been exactly the challenges to music from another angle. It doesn't stay in the home country, and as for this album, there is very an evaluation and the fan that says the masterpiece this album might be not few in foreign countries either. Kenso contributes to the item of Prog Rock and Jazz Rock with the technology of the superior performance at the time of beginning.
