Welcome Back, Adventurers! Warm-up Game 'Beach Ball Toss': The students stood in a circle and tossed around a beach. Then, we had to balance a plastic egg on a spoon. At the end of the course, we activated our favorite stomp rockets. Everyone did an excellent job. Jared is balancing a plastic egg.
Hello, The first signs of civilization on the Japanese Archipelago appeared around 10,000 BCE with the Jomon culture, characterized by a Mesolithic to Neolithic semi-sedentary hunter-gatherer lifestyle of pit dwelling and a rudimentary form of agriculture. Decorated clay vessels from this period, often with plaited patterns, are some of the oldest surviving examples of pottery in the world. This Jomon culture continued to 400 BC, one of the enigmatic figurines they left us were the socalled Dogū produced towards the end of the Jomon culture. The purpose of the Dogū remains unclear, but most likely, the dogu acted as effigies of people, that manifested some kind of sympathetic magic. For example, it may have been believed that illnesses could be transferred into the Dogū, then destroyed, clearing the illness, or any other misfortune. There are other theories that state that the Dogu may be linked to extra-terresterials.
The figures resemble 'space suits' complete with rivets and a helmet/face mask. The large eyes are also reminiscent of the traditional 'Grey' type alien. Japan comprises over three thousand islands, the largest of which are Honshū, Hokkaidō, Kyūshū and Shikoku. Most of the islands are mountainous, many volcanic, including Japan’s highest peak, Mount Fuji. Japan has the world's tenth largest population, with about 128 million people. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with over 30 million residents.
Welcome Back by PLASTICS: Listen to songs by PLASTICS on Myspace, a place where people come to connect, discover, and share. For the most part the basic elements of The Plastics are there, though clearly something is a bit amiss here. If Welcome Plastics was the band “just trying to fit in” as Freshman, Origato is their “the world is fucked” Sophomore year. Not only are the hooks a lot more topsy-turvy (“Back to Wigtown”, “Dance in the Metal.
Vinyl San Far East Family Band-NIPPONJIN ( Join Our Mental Phase Sound) (75) Ondekoza - 3 (80) Plastics - Welcome Back (81) Various - Tokyo Mobile Music 1 (81) Ippu-Do - Radio Fantasy (81). ( 75 Flac 305mb) - Join Our Mental Phase Sound Far East Family Band spawned the careers of three guys. Their names being Fumio Miyashita (who often released his albums under simply the 'Fumio' name), Akira Ito, and most of all, Masanori Takahashi. Maybe you might not know Masanori Takahashi by that name, but you know him as Kitaro, the prolific New Age artist of the 1980s and 1990s. But what Far East Family Band did in the 1970s was not New Age at all, but mainly progressive rock, with the occasional Japanese influence. Nipponjin is the band's second album and contained remakes of songs from their previous album, The Cave - Down to the Earth (1975), and Far Out (1973), an album from Fumio Miyashita's previous band, Far Out.
Klaus Schulze also produced Nipponjin, and you can hear some of his influence, particularly on 'Undiscovered Northern Land'. That piece mainly consists of droning, with some bamboo flute and Mellotron. The album's real centerpiece is without a doubt, the title track. It starts off rather mellow, complete with electric sitar, with vocals (in English), but then the album kicks in with a killer guitar jam, eventually the band starts chanting 'Om', as well as repeatedly chanting something in Japanese. Some of the mid-tempo parts of this song justifies why FEFB is regarded as the Japanese Pink Floyd.
A totally amazing song! The next song, 'The Cave' is the FEFB sound in a nutshell.

( 80. 46mb) From their base on remote Sado Island in the Sea of Japan, traditional Japanese taiko (drum) group Ondekoza have crisscrossed the world as virtual cultural ambassadors for Japan.
Their unique crusade has spearheaded a revival of interest in the taiko at home, as well as stimulating a surge of interest that has led to the founding of taiko groups abroad. Formed in 1969, Ondekoza were the brainchild of Tagayasu Den. In communal life on Sado Island, Den subjected his apprentices to rigorous physical training in addition to technical training in the art of the mighty taiko. His goal was to produce a group whose mental toughness would be equal to the demands of the mighty drums and able to withstand the challenges of the road. In 1975, Ondekoza made their American debut. In one noteworthy performance, the members performed a full set after completing the Boston Marathon.
The group toured America, Europe and Japan to critical acclaim. In 1981, largely in response to a movie project that was by all accounts a financial and artistic failure, members of Ondekoza broke off to form the group Kodo while Tagayasu kept the name and most of the company's drums.

79mb) Welcome Plastics (the first LP) and six songs from Origato Plastico (the second LP). THE PLASTICS were often compared to THE B-52’s.
The upbeat music and quirky presentation were similar, but in many ways THE PLASTICS had a darker view of humanity. Smiling, and using its latest machines, they invented a wonderful pop-music which remains an impressive and original statement. In English, they critiqued society, experimented with new sounds, and had so much fun, that no one took offense. Here, in the U.S., most didn’t even notice.
These songs were re-recorded for U.S. Release, (also released in Japan). I love the original versions, but believe every song was improved here. There’s a cleaner, fuller sound, and the vocals are more intense. This is a refined presentation of THE PLASTICS, and a great introduction to the band. They spent a lot of time in New York, and made a sincere attempt to break into the U.S.

Why they weren’t able to, I don’t know. Their sound was probably just too unique, but their music inspired a lot of the more interesting Japanese bands that are playing today! 01 - Delicious (2:30) 02 - Diamond Head (3:35) 03 - Peace (3:05) 04 - Ignore (2:50) 05 - Cards (4:45) 06 - Top Secret Man (2:32) 07 - Copy (2:35) 08 - Good (3:20) 09 - Park (3:50) 10 - Robot (3:30). ( 81. 63mb) Conceived by David Claridge, who apparently traveled around Tokyo with a hand-held Sony cassette recorder (featured on the front of the album) and inserted snippets of ambient city sounds and overheard conversations between the cuts which provide the actual meat of the album. Liner notes: 'Collating the tracks for this album has not proved to be the easiest of tasks. However I hope these tracks will serve as a foretaste of what is to come from Japan in the future.
The Mobile Suit Corporation will be focussing on the East and unearthing as much new talent as possible.

Don't know if Rho did a re-post but the Tokyo Mobile Music comp and the Ippo Du Radio Fantasy album are active so many thanks Rho - Every year or so I do a search to see if anyone has posted either of the two rare early 80s Earthling albums, which of course no-one has, but I did notice for the first time there was a track on the TMM comp which was a wonderful discovery, as was the Ippo Du album. I'm a big fan of Japanese music like the releases from Vanity Records from the late 70s/early 80s and all the J.A. Caesar records from the seventies to name but a few, but I still know I have only barely scratched the surface of Japanese 70s/80s music and it is thanks to blogs like yours that my education continues. Many thanks as always, Rho - going to check out more from your mammoth Japanese posts!
