😭plain truth Genesis + Japanese culture (folk) + pop

Didn’t even notice, you can really hear they listened to a lot of english prog

Thanks, J.M. Bérnard and Archimode for your comments. I'm a spanish J. prog lover too. This band is one of my favorites ("Bi kyo ran" is great too), the true pity is that they only released 1 album. There is a live cd of Shingetsu, but I don't know about existence of any video live. They have too a new album called "From a Distant Star" released in 2005 but is included in a very very very expensive box, that contains all works of Shingetsu and pre-Shingetsu bands. Thanks and sorry for my english :P

C'est vrai c'est un magnifique morceau. J'ai juste un peu flippé au début quand j'ai vu sa gueule x) Mais il a vraiment une voix magnifique je trouve.

+jean-michel bénard Hi friend. Yes I know Hikaru Sazanami album by Makoto, of course I like it very much. This 10 min first track includes a piano part that remember me a little the south spanish prog rock of the 70's of bands such as "Iman Califato Independiente". I'm a fan of prog rock since several years ago but before of that I was a true lover of the asian folk musics, above all the japanese folk. One day, the J folk and the prog rock joined in my life, that was when I start to listen these bands. The folk wave is more evident on Ryusuke Seto albums and in the first works of Osamu Kitajima, I love their music too.

Konchuko Hello my friend. The piano part, which is terrific, reminds me of the first album of Alameda, some works of Los Jaivas, Gikyoku onsou by Sakuraba Motoi. It is very closed to Banco del Mutuo Soccorso's Metamorfosi, especialy the version you can find on the cd Banco (1975), which is english sang : the association of piano and percussions is very enjoyable !!! I'm also very fond of traditional music from Japan, especialy when the shakuhashi is used. Today I've listened to Osamu's The Source, which is said to be the most progressive, but it's only New Age music to my ears. But I've listened to an album called Passages from 1975, and I find it very interesting, reminding me of some Far east family band music, with acoustic instruments. Well, I love Japan, and am very proud to have a japanese friend.

鬼 (花本彰作詞•作曲•編曲） いつものところで 夢から醒めて 編みかけの糸玉 また拾5と 夜も更けてる ヤギは小屋の隅で 何故震える9 燃え盛るいろりの その炎の上に 降るのは雪 雪は消えた すぐに消えた なくしたものならたくさんあると 指を折って数えた ひとつひとつ 思い出せない ネコは身をかがめて 何を怒る7 朽ちかけた天窓ふ と見やると そこに居たのは鬼 鬼は逃げた すぐに逃げた たしかもろひとつ 忘れてるはず 寝る前に誓った 私の夢守る錠を それでも私の藁の手首は くびれそうな色して ゆらゆらゆれ 自分にさよならする

특히 한 장의 앨범만 낸 밴드가 있다.

no

Plus, that's not reggaeton. That's J-prog.
