Roccabilly in Japan!

Guitars, drums, shaking legs and a sexy attitude. That's rockabilly all over. The genre that exploded in the 1950's is returning, and its revival is stronger than ever. From the U.S. to Australia to Japan this frantic and fast rhythm has been turning listeners into fanatics. The rocker featured here is a member of a gang called Black Shadow. They meet every Sunday in Yoyogi park, Tokyo to style their pompadours and shake their legs: a sexy tribute to the memory of Bill Halley, Carl Perkins and his majesty Elvis Presley.
