Amazing! Hear a crazy story: I am from Germany, my brother bought this CD as nice price 25 years ago. We enjoyed it but were not able to find anything about the band. Thanks to Shazam we could figure it out today. :) Can someone tell me something about the band and of their popularity in and outside Japan? I can hardly find information in english!
This is Down Town Boogie-Woogie Band. They were really popular in Japan back in the 70's. One of the first Japanese rock bands who sings rock'n roll in Japanese and made it a big hit on the charts.
