A symbolic hit from the latter half of GS, with a sad falsetto
This is a representative song from the golden age of group sounds. It reached number three on the Oricon charts and is known for Yoshito Machida's high-pitched vocals.
A hit song that represents the latter half of the Group Sounds boom. "White Coral Reef" is a melancholic ballad that makes use of falsetto, with a striking psychedelic arrangement that intertwines organ and fuzz guitar. The B-side, "Tears Organ," also has a similar lyricism. Released in April 1969, it reached number three on the Oricon charts. This album blends the sentimentality and innovation of the late Group Sounds era.
