Songs Around the City" - The Echoes of Komuro etc. in 1978
In 1978, Komuro and others held a concert tour titled "Tokyo Trip," touring the 23 wards of Tokyo. This tour was not just a musical performance, but also an opportunity to convey a social message. He was the leader of the folk group "Rokubun Sen" and had released many songs on anti-war and social issues.

At the time, Japan was transitioning from a period of rapid economic growth to one of stable growth, and inflation and wage disparities caused by the oil shocks were becoming problems. The music scene was shifting from folk to new music, and new trends were emerging, such as the debut of Southern All Stars, but the spirit of socially conscious folk music remained strong.

The tour was supported by the Tokyo Labor Oto (Tokyo Labor Oto) and became an opportunity for cultural exchange with workers and citizens. Komuro's music was more than entertainment; it carried a message to society, and "Tokyo Trip" also became a song that resonated with the times and the city.
