Hi Ralph ! My favorite is Promenade. So many great songs ! The summerhouse, Tonight we fly, are among my favorites. Here is a picture of Neil I took in spring 1994 when he played in the rock festival organized in my university in Toulouse. That was during an acoustic set a few hours before the show.

Fukinotou (ふきのとう), from snowy Hokkaidō, brought soft harmonies and rural nostalgia to mid-70s folk. Less political than their Kansai peers, but evocative of landscapes lost to Japan’s rapid urbanization. I particularly love their song 白い冬, "White winter".

Rabi Nakayama (中山ラビ) brought a raw, intimate edge to Japan’s early 70s folk. Her early records feels closer to Joan Baez or Joni Mitchell than to the polished pop of the time - vulnerable vocals and confessional lyrics. A rare and powerful female voice in the folk boom.

Ayumi Ishida (いしだあゆみ), idol and actress, ventured into pop ballads colored by rich arrangements. Blue Light Yokohama (1969) captures urban melancholy and foreshadows the crossover into City Pop.

Rokumonsen (六文銭), founded by Takashi Nishioka after Five Red Balloons, mixed wit, irony, melancholy and a Beatles-like sound. Their name, “six coins” to cross into the afterlife, carried symbolic weight.

Garo (ガロ, 1970) were a bit Japan’s Crosby, Stills and Nash: crystalline 3-part harmonies & acoustic sounds. A bridge between protest folk and the polished “New Music” sound that followed.

Let's start! Akai Tori (赤い鳥, “Red Bird”), formed in Kobe in 1969, blended folk with baroque pop. Their cover of Takeda no Komoriuta (a traditional lullaby) became a national hit and their sound mix gentle acoustic textures with pastoral ballads and gorgeous harmonies.

Back from 4 days of work in Brussels where could do a little bit of record digging. In particular at Veals and Geeks that has an extensive 60-70s underground section.
