Background notes
Archive material and source history
Imawano Kiyoshiro started as the frontman of RC Succession in the mid-1970s. The band's raw performances drew attention, though their politically charged lyrics sometimes ran into trouble with censors. They became one of the influential bands of that era in Japan.
In 1988, he released "Jump," which became his most recognizable song. Its upbeat melody and catchy lyrics connected with listeners, and it climbed the charts. The song has stayed in rotation long after its release.
He put out albums like "Blue" in 1979, "The Paradise" in 1982, "Tokyo Blues" in 1987, and "King of the World" in 1993. RC Succession had a shifting lineup but included musicians like Noriyuki Morikawa on bass, Takashi Okamura on guitar, and Kazuo Kamimura on drums. The band ended in 2001, and Imawano kept working solo until he died in 2009.
