Rockabilly which started in various jazz clubs gave birth to rockabilly singers such as Mickey Curtis, Masaaki Hirao, and Keijirō Yamashita. In February 1958, the trio performed in the Westan Kānibaru I (Western Carnival I) concert at the Nihon Gekijō theater in Tokyo.
In the late 1950s, the popularity of rockabilly which began to recede was replaced by the era of kabā popsu (cover pops), which consisted of various types of music. Among the kabā popsu figures, there are musicians such as Yūya Uchida and Isao Bitō who have their roots in the rockabilly genre. In addition, kabā popsu with the Liverpool Sound style was born following the popularity of musical groups such as The Beatles around 1963.
