The Drifters were a comic band, and they sang mainly cover versions and parodies of songs that had been sung in Japan. They played a forty-second-long opening act for the concert of The Beatles, which was popular with people all over the world. They got people’s attention because they performed not on stage for the opening act, but on the main stage. After their rise to fame, The Drifters mainly acted as comedians, but the music activities continued.
