TULIP, a POP music band of 70′s to 80′s



There used to be a Japanese POP music group called TULIP.  This band is no longer in live act, and the boom time of them are from 70′s to 80′s of Japan.  Their main fans are teenage girls at the time, however, some boys also liked them for the beautiful melody of TULIP.

They named Tulip because they thought the sound of the name resembled the one of the Beatles’ record label of Apple.  Yes, they were deep fans of the Beatles, the sound they made was pretty much like Beatles flavour.

Some of the songs they produced actually reminds me of the Beatles songs as they are really similar to the Beatles numbers.

Tulip recorded some hit songs while they were active and their concerts were full of fans then.  Especially for the people of Hakata, Fukuoka, Tulip still is a memorable music group as the sound of them colorfully painted the beautiful time of their home town, Fukuoka.

Next video contains a song called Hakatakko Junjo, which should be translated like Purity of Hakata Guys.  They sing the mental colors of Hakata people through this song, which introduces tears and memory of people who live there in the city.

This song was not a big hit then but I comparatively like it rather than choosing other well known hit songs.
