[This guest post was written by wbwolf about number 1030 on The List. The album was submitted by wbwolf and avi_miller.]
At one point in time, there was a serious debate in Japanese music whether rock music should be sung in Japanese or English.
1970 was a major inflection point. Rock had started get a wider audience in Japan, but it was through the Group Sounds fad that was starting to wind down by that point. Group Sounds was a way for production companies to use their staff writers, dress up the band in a matching outfits, but in the end, not that much different from other pop offerings. At least that was the feeling of musicians that looked to the American and European rock scenes.
The argument was that rock did not fit the cadence of Japanese language, so it worked best in English. Several early albums by other artists were done entirely in English. However, the members of Happy End felt rock music could be sung in Japanese and still have the characteristics of the overseas bands they admired. Their first two albums, especially 風街ろまん (Kazemachi Roman) proved to be a turning point showing that it was indeed possible.
The album itself is a concept album, collectively painting a portrait of Tokyo in the period of time from immediate postwar period to the rapid growth just before the 1964 Olympics. In an effort to clear the wreckage caused by war and modernized the city, much was lost in the process. This is lends the album a slightly wistful air, about innocence and youth lost now in the modern, Westernized metropolis; the Westernization is a double-edged sword.
