  4. Thanks! But that's crazy, google translate: The Sound of Apollo, Vol. 15: Japanese Poetry (Part 7) - Farewell in the Starry Night. So.... The Apollo, Oscar Young, Lightning Rhythm Orchestra is basically the same band? The same musicians??? It would make sense because these albums all sound like they were made by the same band.... Confusing!

  6. I think same band.It don't means much.Same Producer , same kind of direction.They pick up famous Japanese hits , gather studio musician and cut it .It's routine work. But arrangement and mix is far beyound Hot Rats.It's Yellow Magic!
    The truth is not known. For themselves probably have no idea that half a century has passed and they are still talking about it. My Opinion they are a Singaporean band. It was probably also released in Hong Kong and Taiwan.As a Japanese, I was also surprised that Japanese songs were heard and played all over Asia!

  7. Jep, you're probably right Yoshio, although I think they're from Hong Kong. At least Oscar Young and The Apollo were from there, who knows, maybe folks from all over the region.... Will try to change this post tomorrow, maybe the day after 'cause I'll have a pretty busy day tomorrow. I can't thank you enough!!! Actually got a bunch of Japanese albums coming up soon, and more from this band/bands too :)

  8. Yes,They are from Honk Kong.
    I must thank you in some way.
    There is a mass of gratitude over the last 10 years!
    If there is anything I can do to help, it would be my pleasure.
    Anyhow、this record The title of the song itself is a mess.
    It's funny though.
    Best

  10. yoshio: Life Records were from Malaysia Oscar Young has many records released in Malaysia Singapore and Hong Kong. As a fellow Southeast Asian yes Japanese music is very famous here in the Singapore and Malaysia. I have many records of Japanese music pressed locally but were written in Chinese.
