Hiro Yanagida-Milktime('70)+Hiro Yanagida('71) (Japan Psychedelic Rock/Prog Rock)
Excellent! if you liked Foodbrain then this is must download has great guitar work by Kimio Muzutani(wich if you didnt download that yet from my blog,Do it now!
Hiro Yanagida - this keyboardist really got around! He was in Apryl Fool, Foodbrain, Masahiko Satoh & Sound Brakers, Love Live Life + One, and also played on Shinki Chen's solo album. Throughout this time he was putting out solo albums with some of the same musicians, such as Kimio Mizutani . His debut was 'Milk Time' [Liberty, 1970], which has a cool photo of a stern-looking gorilla on the cover, done by the same artist who did the Foodbrain album cover. The backing band included Hiro Tsunoda from Foodbrain, Strawberry Path and Flied Egg , guitarist Kimio Mizutani and electric violinist Hiroki Tamaki [see below], as well as flautist Nozumu Nakatani and bassist Keiju Ishikawa [who later played with Akira Ito The music is in part similar to Foodbrain, but more varied, with lighter, jaunty short tracks and some tripped out sounds.
This was followed by 'Hiro Yanagida' [Atlantic, 1971], with great cartoon psychedelic artwork. He's again joined by Kimio Mizutani, and Joey Smith from Speed, Glue & Shinki and Juan De La Cruz [ sings on one track, a silly doo-wop ballad! The album as a whole covers slightly similar territory to that of 'Milk Time', though more accomplished, and some of the mellower keyboard-oriented stuff here is a bit more experimental and progressive. One track reminds me of Supersister and oddly, Stereolab from more than 20 years later! His 3rd album, 'Hiro' [URC, 1972], seems to be obscure and I can't find any information about it. 'Hirocosmos' [CBS, 1973] was reputedly another great album, in a more progressive vein. There are a few more album which I know nothing about - 'UFO' [CBS, 1978], 'Shichi Sai No Rojin Tengoku' [label? year?] and 'Ma-Ya' [Substance, 2003]. I've seen another album listed, 'Planets in Rock Age [1971], but I don't know how that fits in or if it's just rumour. 'Milk Time' was reissued on CD by P-Vine, but appears to be out of print; 'Hiro Yanagida' and 'Hirocosmos' have been reissued on CD by Showboat and are tricky to track down outside of Japanese retailers. Yanagida played on J.A. Caesar's 'Matihedeyou Syowosuteyo' , and also recorded some material with Tokyo Kid Brothers

hi there i have Hiro Yanagida - Hiro Yanagida.1971 i am well looking forward to more stuff like this thanks m8
milktime is a keyboard noodling dud! On the other hand, the self-titled album is much better. that's my opinion !
The info at the top of the page for this post is originally from http://www.recordheaven.net/japan, and progressivehomestead have borrowed it. I'm not sure if they gave the original link. Anyway, I'm saying this because I'm the author/collator of that info, and the Japanese page at the Record Heaven web site.
No problem reproducing it, just wanted to point out the correct source.
Thanks for the music you've been posting! Do you have Hirocosmos?
