Moon Zero Two
Welcome to 2021, the year in which the 1969 movie Moon Zero Two was set. It was promoted as "the first Moon western". From Wikipedia:For some reason the trailer for the movie inexplicably identified the year as 2028, even though in the movie itself the date was clearly shown as 2021.
You can watch the entire movie for free on YouTube:

Astromusic
In 1969, astrologer Carroll Righter released an "Astromusical Houses" series of records. It consisted of twelve records, each one devoted to a different sign of the Zodiac. Righter explained, "These albums enable purchasers to select the music of their stars—music that will enhance their state of well-being to alleviate any problems of everyday living that may beset them."I was able to find five of the albums on YouTube. But not Gemini (my sign).

Solon Bushi
In the old days before "cultural appropriation," a Black R&B group could sing a "Japanese folk song."
