Group sounds arose following the Beatles performance at the Budokan in 1966, and was strongly influenced by British beat music of the 1960s.[2] Group sounds acts included the Tigers, the Tempters, the Spiders, the Mops, and the Golden Cups.[2] The movement peaked in late 1967 when Jackey Yoshikawa and His Blue Comets won the Japan Record Award.[1]
