Japanese Prog

Japanese Prog is a subgenre of progressive rock music that originated in Japan in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by its complex and often experimental arrangements, often featuring multiple time signatures and extended instrumental passages. It is heavily influenced by Western progressive rock, but also incorporates elements of traditional Japanese music, such as taiko drums, shamisen, and koto. It is often characterized by its use of synthesizers and electronic instruments, as well as its focus on melody and atmosphere.
