I don’t pick up Rolling Stones music for my favourite pastime usually. Not especially I escape from their sound but I just simply was raised by other music.

Being away from them for a long time, reguraly I miss their music in hot summer time. This sound feedback happens because I first touched their music on Japanese National TV in my summer vacation time. I was 13 or so then !!

Their name was already well known as they stood after the Beatles then, fans of the Beatles naturally caught their information in music magazines or through rumor brought by niche foreign trend chasers. In 60′s and 70′s, Japan was invaded by Beatles first, then, new music wave was being formed by Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Yes, ELP, and more creatively eye-catching ( and ear catching ) groups from UK.  This era was certainly a dawn of Japanese Rock movement. 

 Under this exciting time of new creations, Rolling Stones was regarded as an old type music group, thinking of fans mind, it was natural for them to take what they thought cool and trendy.  Stones was a little unlucky and they were left after the new waves.

During such time of Rock music movement in Japan, I saw this TV show of Rolling Stones.  Mick Jagger looked childish then, but Kieth Richards and the other guitarist ( Mick Taylor ?) were really cool looking.  They sang Angie twice in the beginning and in the end.  That was real cool and exciting show for me.

They were being shadowed by the colorful rock bands, over the selfish expectation, I thought they would last long !!

Time testifies it.  Now they still live.
