Jutok Kaneko (guitar), Mick (vocals), Hiroshi Yokoyama (synth) and Toshiko Watanabe (drums). 'Miraculously unearthed live tape from one of the earliest incarnations of Tokyo heavy psychedelic legends Kousokuya. For a group with a 25-year history on the Tokyo underground scene, Kousokuya have left very little imprint of their activities.
