Group Sounds initiated fusion of Japanese kayōkyoku music and rock music, but their music was very unnatural. Nonetheless, their ways of musical production were regarded as a pioneer of modern popular music of Japan. Fōku (folk) and New Music became famous in 1970s, but rock music survived as "New Rock" in Japanese underground music. Although the origin of modern Japanese rock was usually regarded as "New Rock", their videos of live concerts were very rare.
