Konichiwa! Are you ready for a reckless banzai charge into the uncharted realms of classic Japanese psych? No, me neither, but it'd take seven samurai to keep me away from here.  Smile

My all-time favourite Japanese Psychedelic Rock album from the above list is "Nihonjin" (1973) by Far Out, which is a pretty far out psych album, as you'll later discover when I post the full YouTube album below in alphabetical sequence. Smile

I'll try and find as many full YouTube albums as I can from the above list and then I'll post them below, although I won't be posting any albums by Acid Mothers Temple as there are simply too many of them and they all tend to  sound the same anyway. Smile

J.A. Caesar (J.A. Seazer) has lots of Albums not only one.
He was the leader of the Theater Tenjo Sajiki Musical backing Group.
 
The "solo Album" Kokkyo Junreika is just a sampler of Tenjo Sajiki performances
which where released on separate Albums. These are all live Recordings and a mix
of spoken Japanese Theater with Musical interludes. (The Album is just a sampler
of some of those interludes and so also live)
 
At least 4 tracks (those in the middle of the "Solo" Album) are identical (same recordings)
as on one of the Tenjo Sajiki Albums I own (Jashumon "Heresy").

Love this band! I’d prefer their Black Hole album which is by far their best one, I hope you know it...

^^ I'd love to have uploaded the "Black Hole" album too, but it's not currently available on YouTube. By the way, thanks for your contribution to this thread. It was beginning to get pretty lonely on here as the last seven posts were all mine. Smile I'm trying to find as many full YouTube albums as I can from the list at the top of the page. These are the next two albums continuing in alphabetical sequence with Flied Egg....

I've been meaning to complete this blog for several months now, by adding all of the available YouTube albums from the list at the top of the page. After all, no one wants to read through a long boring list of artists. It's all about the MUSIC! The only downside to listening to all of the many great album treasures on this blog, is it doesn't leave me much time for writing long album reviews, so I guess they'll have to wait. Smile
 
Here's the next album in the alphabetical sequence, with an album title that reminds us what life used to be like before the coronavirus lockdown. Smile
 
2 stars FOOD BRAIN - Social Gathering (1970) - One of Shinki Chen's best and last works, according to YouTube, although the album is too weird and far out even for my psychedelic tastes. Thumbs Down

Hi Paul - lots of great bands on your list and many more I really want to check out. But there’s one more band I like that I didn’t see on your list - Green Milk From the Planet Orange. This is one of their epic psych tracks performed live.

You're more than welcome to post some or all of Geinoh Yamashirogumi's full albums here though, if you want to, and then I'll have a listen to them. I've just taken a look at YouTube and there are several of their full albums available at the moment. Thumbs Up

These two far-out albums are probably the most psychedelic of all the albums posted so far. I think the picture on the first album cover says it all really. Smile

Did you listen to Osorezan from 1976? If so I won't bother posting it. Yeah, it's a bit strange and maybe not typical psych(or prog)but I think it's worth checking into regardless.

^^ I only listened to a small sample from each Gheino Yamashirogumi album, just to get a feel for the music and you're very welcome to post their albums here if you want to. As you say, their albums are strange and far out even by the stoned-out standards of Psychedelic Rock. I may grow to like them though if you post their full albums here and I listen to them all the way through. Smile

STOMU YAMASHTA: a Japanese percussionist, keyboardist and composer. He is best known for pioneering and popularising a fusion of traditional Japanese percussive music with Western Progressive Rock in the 1960s and 1970s.

3 stars  1972: J.A. Caesar - Jashumon (Heretics)  - The first track from the first album by J.A. Caesar (aka J.A. Seazer) - originally suggested for inclusion here by TheH way back on December 1st 2019. It's Japanese psychedelic opera, which sounds very strange and is unlike anything I've ever heard before, but it's also rather wonderful too. Thumbs Up

The 12th and final album from Marble Sheep, which comes as something of a blessed relief, as all of the songs were beginning to sound the same and where the idea seems to be to make as much noise as possible (as you'll hear in the song below) in true Stoner Rock fashion. Confused

Snake Girls


I'm going to have a lie down now and listen to some soothing classical music from Tony Banks, which'll make a nice pleasant change from listening to the raucous sound of Marble Sheep. If you like to count sheep to get to sleep, then just make sure they're not Marble Sheep. Smile

Some recent modern prog discoveries from the land of the rising sun:- I know the chances of me finding any of these obscure Japanese artists and albums down at my local record store are about as likely as a kamikaze pilot returning from a mission, so I'll Nippon over to Amazon and see if I can find them there. Smile

^ I Love the first six albums you mentioned, having featured them all here earlier. Bi Kyo Ran and Bondage Fruit are new to me though, so I'll check them out too. Actually, I just remembered Bi Kyo Ran was one of the artists featured on the Prog Line channel, leaving Bondage Fruit as the only listed artist that's as inscrutable to me as a Japanese Geisha girl. Smile 

I'm wondering about including Tomita's albums here too, considering he's Japan's best known electronica artist, although Ryuichi Sakamoto might have something to say about that. Tongue

Banzai! You know, I've been listening to so much Japanese music here since starting this thread that I'm beginning to wonder if I'm Turning Japanese. I really think so, and that disturbing thought is giving me a touch of The Vapors. Sayonara! Tongue

I noticed Bondage Fruit are listed as "Zeuhl" - whatever that is - and if they're not my cup of tea, I'll try Dennis Coffey or Hot Chocolate instead, and then Everyone's a Winner. Smile

You were right! Bondage Fruit weren't my cup of tea at all. I have a strong feeling that'll be the first and The Last Time I ever listen to a Zeuhl album. Tongue

I'd say, Bondage Fruit II is maybe more like Avant-Prog. What can be considered Zeuhl, can be very diverse. If you could have the mood for giving it another try, I'll recommend an album which is very jazzy and like Zeuhl light:

Xing Sa  (F)  -  Creation De L’univers   (2010)

Yes, Bondage Fruit definitely sounded like Avant Prog to my ears, which goes some way towards explaining why that particular fruit was a bit sour for my sweet taste buds. Big smile

I'll take a look at some of the Japanese bands listed under Symphonic Prog & Neo Prog. I'm sure I'll find something more sweet and appealing to my tastes there. Smile

Thanks for the Yonin Bayashi recommendation! I've added him to my playlist above. I finally got around to listening to Yonin Bayashi two years and nine months later and I'm really loving his albums. Thumbs Up

"Grasshopper, what is this ultra-rare album I see before me?" ..... Harumi is a little-known Psychedelic Pop singer about whom little is known. What I do know is that he travelled from Japan to New York to record an album in 1968 and then just as quickly disappeared, never to be heard from again. It's not known whether Harumi is still living in America, or indeed, whether he's still living at all, but we can take pleasure in having this lovely oriental, flower-power era album to remember him by over half a century later.
