Group Sounds
However, The Spiders, The Blue Comets, and The Golden Cups were also popular GS comparable to them. Since the 2000s, PYG, which debuted in 1971, has been re-evaluated. At the time of the 1960s, Japan was a society with a feudal side with strong fatherhood, and elements such as long hair and electric guitar were linked to badness and juvenile delinquency, and the wind from the general public was very strong. As a result, some high school students who went to see Group Sounds concerts were either suspended or dropped out to created their own band. In addition, junior high schools and high schools that prohibited going to concerts appeared one after another. At an outdoor concert at The Tigers' Nara Ayame Pond in November 1967, a fan fell and was seriously injured. Therefore, NHK cut the appearance part of The Tigers that had already been recorded in "Grand Show of Song", and after that, with the exception of Jackey Yoshikawa and his Blue Comets who had short hair, long-haired group sounds come and was banned due to poor rating.
