In the 1960s rock 'n' roll music began crossing the Atlantic
Ocean--with The Beatles and The Who leading the British Invasion of
the United States--and the Pacific Ocean, as American and European
rock slowly began to take hold in Japan. This insightful study from
visionary rock musician Julian Cope explores what really happened
when Western music met Eastern shores. The clash between
traditional Japanese values and the wild renegades of 1960s and
1970s rock 'n' roll is examined, and the seminal artists in
Japanese post-World War II culture are all covered. From itinerate
art-house poets to violent refusenik bands with penchants for plane
hijacking, this is the story of the Japanese youths and musicians
who simultaneously revolutionized a musical genre and the culture
of a nation.
