Hinotama Boy. Suzuki Keiichi & Moonriders (1976)
Suzuki formed producer-supergroup Moonriders after Hachimitsu Pie’s split and the project gained much success & is still going strong some 35 years later.
Hinotama Boy’s folk/Americana-influenced feel came before the advent of their foray into experimental techno-pop n the ’80s. Straightforward as it may have been (especially compared to almost everything that came after), it was a solid album containing mainstays of their live setlists such as Yoiodore Dance Music (a cover of a Hachimitsu Pie song) & Miwaku no Minato – it would be a good idea to check out the reissued release that supplemented the original tracks with several fine out-takes & live versions.
