the jacks [ジャックス] - tokei wo tomete / stop the clock [時計をとめて]

Jacks were a 1960s Japanese psychedelic rock group who released their most well known studio album Vacant World (or 'Jacks No Sekai' in Japanese) in 1968. The Jacks, originally known as Nightingale, began their career in 1966 as a folk trio. After jazz drummer Takasuke Kida joined the group they headed into a new musical direction. Vacant World is widely seen as one of the most important Japanese albums. The song 'Vacant World' (or 'Karappo no Sekai' in Japanese) was famously banned from Japanese airwaves due to lyrical content. The Jacks' musical legacy has carried on in Japan despite the fact that their career was quite short, disbanding shortly after the release of their second studio album Super Session (or 'No Kiseki' in Japanese).

Members * Yoshio Hayakawa vocals, rhythm guitar * Haruo Mizuhashi lead guitar, vocals * Hitoshi Tanino Fender bass, upright bass * Takasuke Kida drums, flute, vibraphone

After the break up of Jacks, singer Yoshio Hayakawa released one acclaimed solo album before retiring from music, only to reemerge again as a solo artist during the 1990s. Drummer Takasuke Kida died in a car accident in 1980.
