When I entered into a juior high school, I awered some popular musicians. First of all it was Beatles. I don't remember why I started to listen to them. I bought 2 single records of Beatles. One was "The long and widing road". The other was "She loves you".
It was a first experience to listen to rockn' roll music. So I was afraid if they were so loud or not.
I thought "she loves you" was little bit noisy. As I listend to these unfamiliar songs for me, they gradually become my favorite songs.
After that I listened so many Beatles songs, I put Beatles poster made of Toshiba EMI on the wall in my room.
After Beatles I became a fan of Eigo Kawashima. I had been really enthusiastic fan of him since being fan of Hiroshi Itsuki.
I listened to their record by stereo record player. But my stereo record player was not good condition. But the condition of speaker was excellent. At that time I listened to many folk songs by record.
As everybody knows record has different attractive functions from CD. Some of them are big jacket, record lavel sheel, smell of record, some tension just before the song begin, etc..
In these days I heard about the reputation of old Japanese bands's reunion for example Godaigo, Sharankyu etc.. (I think Sharankyu is not old band at all.)
