What does the title mean?

[INGEN0423]

@PerditionFilmworks That means the beginning sound of the piano, composer said that the piano sounds "gugan-gugan", the drums sounds "da-pa-toton"...(^^;

@PerditionFilmworks

I heard that it means original gangster too but i cant find any proof of that sort of thing

[INGEN0423]

@PerditionFilmworks Mr. Yamashita, who is the pianist and composer of this tune wrote about that in his essay in Japanese. It's famous among Japanese jazz fan. (^-^)v

７０年代の日本は、政治社会も熱かったけど、ジャズソーンも本当­に熱かったですよね。久々に楽しませていただきました。ありがと­うございます!

when does the music come in?

[musicjpn55]

@PerditionFilmworks Yes, INGEN0423's explanation is correct.

The title comes from an onomatopoeia of the written theme of this composition, which goes "Gu-gan, Gu-gan, Da-pa-to-ton, Gu-gan, Da-pa-to-ton". You can notice that each solo returns to the theme right after the drummer plays the answering phrase "Da-pa-to-ton". Therefore, other members have to listen to the drums very carefully!
