Review by Leksana TH, MBA, PCC (ICF), NCC (Newfield), CTT Consultant (Barrett)

The album "ポップスインジャパン Pops In Japan" by Ventures is an excellent representation of the band's ability to fuse different styles of music together. Released in 1966, the album features 12 tracks that range from pop to traditional Japanese music.

The album starts with "Sukiyaki," a popular Japanese song that was covered by many artists during the 1960s. Ventures' version of the song features their signature guitar sound and a catchy melody that stays true to the original.

Other notable tracks on the album include "Kimi to Itsumademo," a beautiful ballad that showcases the band's ability to slow things down, and "Tsugaru Jongara Bushi," a traditional Japanese folk song that the band infuses with their own rock and roll sound.
