Yonin Bayashi - Omatsuri

This video is dedicated to my friend Akimotoshow...

The various images used within this video are taken from photos and scans of my original Japanese vinyl LP jacket/cover, and labels, Yonin Bayashi - "Ishoku Sokuhhatsu" (1974) on the TAM record label AX-8801.

Yonin Bayashi were:

Kasutoshi Morizono -- guitar, vocals
Kazuo Nakamura -- bass, vocals
Daiji Okai -- drums, tubular bells, percussion
Hidemi Sakashita -- piano, e. piano, Mellotron, Mini-Moog (joined '71)

This Tokyo quartet began in 1970 as 'San-Nin' (the trio), with Kasutoshi Morizono on guitar and vocals, Kazuo Nakamura o bass and vocals, and Daiji Okai on drums. In early 1971, they were joined by keyboard player Hidemi Sakashita, and thereafter took the name Yonin-Bayashi, which is old Japanese for 'quartet'. The band's first gig was at the Satsuki-Sai (May Festival) at Tokyo University, on May 1971. Yonin-Bayashi released several LPs during the 1970s, one of which - ISHOKU-SOKUHATSU - is at number 48 in Japrocksampler's Top 50.
