Love Live Life + One — Love Will Make A Better You 1971 (Japan, Psychedelic, Jazz Rock)

One of the many short-lived Japanese psychedelic bands of the early 1970s. They played a few shows and released their only LP in 1971. The lineup included musicians from Food Brain, Milk Time, Kimio Mizutani, and vocalist Akira Fuse. + One featured vocalist Akira Fuse. The band disbanded almost immediately after the album's release.Honestly! I cannot help keeping my eyes and mouth open, touching this album by my ears.

LOVE LIVE LIFE, a Japanese psychedelic rock project, was a hotchpotch ensemble of talented rock musicians. Indeed you can imagine where this project should go as soon as you find the members, but, as I'm sure it's much important, this terribly terrific album could be produced not by LOVE LIVE LIFE, but by LOVE LIVE LIFE + ONE. Namely, Akira FUSE the vocalist could activate this project more and more I wanna say. Basically Akira is one of famous pop singers in Japan - he can remind almost all of Japanese a beautiful & plaintive ballad "Cyclamen No Kaori (Flavour of a cyclamen)" in 1975 - and currently for us Japanese it's beyond all imagination he could shout in such a psychedelic project. As if Percy Faith play rock (sorry).
