Flower Travellin’ Band are an influential Japanese hard rock outfit that was first active in the late 1960s and early 1970s, consisting of Akira «Joe» Yamanaka (vocals), Hideki Ishima (guitar), Joji «George» Wada (drums) and Jun Kozuki (bass). As of January 12th, 2008 they have officially reunited and hired a new member, keyboardist Nobuhiko Shinohara.
The band was initially organized by Japanese entertainer and entrepreneur Yuya Uchida as «The Flowers,» a cover band, and featured two vocalists - himself, and female vocalist Remi Aso, who was touted as the Japanese version of Janis Joplin. Their first album consisted of covers of Western pop songs. It was primarily notable for the fact that all of the band members appeared nude on the cover, including Aso, which was considered scandalous at the time.
However, after the «Flowers» album, Uchida lost interest and Aso drifted away. The remaining members reorganized themselves, acquiring Joe Yamanaka as a vocalist on the recommendation of Uchida, and proceeded to explore a more original and rock-oriented direction.
In early 1973, they were billed to open for the Rolling Stones, but Mick Jagger’s visa was rejected from a previous drug conviction and all concerts were cancelled. Later that year the band broke up, with Yamanaka going on to release various solo albums.

it's pretty obvious he had an influence on the film akira.. what's embarrassing about that? not just that, a whole bunch of vocalists.. there are also quite a few bands heavily influenced by flower travellin' band. i'm not going to turn this shout box into a discussion board like alot of the dicks here do, so i'll leave it there.

Man, the more I listen to it, the more We Are Here really isn't that bad. Great smokin music; thus whence they came, they revert. As zen as Satori was, but still admittedly not nearly has good, heh.
