Any more out there like this?? Damn cool !

Not psychedelic or 70's, but HBO's Reverb had a Japanese band on about 6 or 7 years ago. I think they were on the same episode with Imperial Teen, but not sure. They played a song called 1,2,3,4,5. Very cool. I wish I could remember the band name. It's been bugging me for years.

This is probably not what you're looking for, but your thread title made me think of it immediately. Just felt like sharing and strolling down memory lane. It's early 70s (1971) but definitely psychedelic.

I was a big Godzilla fan growing up, but this one movie always freaked me out.

Iro toridori no kaze ni nori
Go-nin no senshi ga sora wo yuku
Ai to iu na no efude wo nigiri
Chikyuu to iu na no kyanbasu ni
Omoi omoi no yume wo egaku

**Reddo 1 (Jounetsu!) Guriin 2 (Seigi!)

Ima hitotsu ni tokete majiriai-nagara

Riding along the wind filled with colors
Five fighters traverse the skies
Holding a paintbrush called love
They paint dreams full of passion
Onto a canvas called Earth

**Red 1 (Passion!) Green 2 (Justice!)
Blue 3 (Courage!) Yellow 4 (Youth!)
Pink 5 (Heart!)
Blending into one
As they head for a beautiful world

*repeat

If five lights combine
Rather than light of a single color
They will shine upon the darkness called evil
And each one will be able to have
The sun called peace in his hands

Red 1 (Blazing sunset!) Green 2 (Great earth!)
Blue 3 (Blue sky!) Yellow 4 (Rays of shinshine!)
Pink 5 (Gentle breeze!)
Summoning back the things they have lost now
As they head for a beautiful world

*repeat
**repeat
Towards a beautiful world

I think the band your thinking of is Cornelius

Back to the original subject: Flower Travellin' Band and Blues Creation are two great late 60's early 70's Japanese Psych bands

Sorry, no love here for Japanese psychedelic rock...

[FUNKMAN]

Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at...

World shut your mouth because our old pal Julian Cope is working on a follow-up to his Krautrocksampler tome (his paean to the classic heavy Kraut legends Amon Duul, Amon Duul II, Tangerine Dream, Kluster, Cluster, Guru Guru, etc.) with a book about psychedelic and progressive Japanese groups from the 60's and 70's! My teardrop explodes at the thought of it. Julian's site is always full of reviews of arcane weirdness. Go here and see what it's like to be in Bobo's head: http://www.headheritage.co.uk/

And now for some 60's/70's Japanese psychedelic and prog "monsters" which are are so rare that some people would shoot through schools to get them.

A nice edition of the Flower Travelin Band's "Satori" album was just reissued. Fantasticly strange album! Ever get into the Tokyo Kid Brothers? They were a bit on the art side. Me also likes Brast Burn, J.A. Caesar, and Karuna Kayall. Anything heavy and annoying (like Americans on vacation).
