Usagi to Kame – B6. In the name of love
B6. 愛の名のもとに
Usagi to Kame - 1972 To Inachi (Private, Japan)
The rabbit and turtle (Usagi to Kame )fairy tales are very well known in Korea.
The rabbits and turtles race, the rabbits run faster than tortoise, so the rest of the tree in the middle of the slow, but eventually, a slow but steady tortoise wins the race.
Perhaps the music seems to contain the idea that you should not just run for your goal but to live your life slowly like a turtle.
It should be highly rated in that it wrote the song & lyrics based on psych and folk music in the traditional fairy tale. They do not show their loud music color, but their performance is pretty good.
Rarity : ★★★
Value : ★★★
Music: ★★★

上野 (Ueno) and 高野 (Takano) were in the 3rd grade at junior high school, and lived nearby each other. Around 1971, they played the beatles' song at Ueno's house. Ueno started to show his ambition to record something around Feb, 1972. Usagi & Kame was formed in May 3, 1972 when they did a live performance at Morinomiya. Takano did a lead guitar, arrangements and backing vocals. Ueno did writing lyrics, compositions and vocals.
They did many live performances (June 4, 11, 18, 25, and July, and Sep). 福本 (Fukumoto) joined the band as a lead guitarist. He was a classmate of Ueno. They did a live performance in Oct 21.
