"三上寛と青葉城" was a short-lived yet influential Japanese band active briefly in 1973. The trio comprised Kan Mikami, a pivotal figure in Japanese punk, renowned drummer Ryojiro Furusawa, and bassist Hisashi Anzai (Kitāro), known for his work with Okinawa's band. Their music was characterized by free jazz and punk folk elements, with improvisational drumming and bass lines complementing Mikami's intense vocals. Their performances left a lasting impression, drawing comparisons to the 1970s band Jacks. The band's legacy is preserved in the original soundtracks for the 1973 Toei films "Neon Kurage" and "Neon Kurage Shinjuku Hanadensha," which were released as a two-disc CD set.
