In 1969, after the release of the album, Remi Aso and guitarist Katsuhiko Kobayashi relocated to the United States. Yuya dropped all the remaining members, except drummer George Wada, recruited guitarist Hideki Ishima and vocalist Joe Yamanaka from the blues group Mystic Morning and bassist Jun Kobayashi, and formed the Flower Travellin’ Band as a band that would appeal to international audiences. Their first releases were backing jazz trumpeter Terumasa Hino on the single “Crash” followed by the mini-album Anywhere in 1970, made to emulate the Flowers’ release by means of cover songs and a nude photo on the album’s front.
