Blue Commets in the 1960s of Japan

People often feel nostalgia for the golden age.

For Japanese, the 1960's was one of the significant epoc in their history.

People could recover from dark memory of surrendering WW2 and

get miracle economic development.

Some groups such as the Blue Commets and the Peanuts tried to sell their recoad abroad.  The Blue Commets was originally a support band for solo singer.

The Blue Commets became one of the earliest Japanese beat band in the 1960s by chance. Because the singer, which the group should support, was late for delaying train. They had no choice but to sing without main vocal. The performance got over the footlights. It was a chance to step up their activities.
