asian kung-fu generation


one of the best (in my opinion) j-rock bands out there. known as ‘ajikan’ in j-pan, becuase it’s easier to say than asian kung-fu generation, and it kind of sounds like it.

their music is greatly influeced by american bands like weezer, and it really shines through in most their songs. j-panese weezer… hahahaha….

most americans found this band through naruto, or fma with their songs ‘haruka kanata (far, far away)’ and ‘rewrite’, respectively.
wapanese: dude… ajikan.
normal person: …yeah… you… do that…
wapanese: ajikan!!
normal person: agh! get away!
a great j-panese rock band that isnt visual. consists of 4 members; gotoh masafumi on guitar & vocals, kita kensuke on guitar, yamada takahiro on b-ss, and ijichi kiyoshi on drums. they have all been influenced by such american bands as weezer, radiohead, the beatles, oasis, smashing pumpkins, petshop boys, and many others including other j-panese bands. their style and way of playing is very original in the j-panese alternative rock genre that is usually dominated by visual bands.
“the loop & loop pv was great!”
“akf is one of my favorite bands!”
one of the best (j)rock bands ever. formed during their college days in 1996 by masafumi gotou, kensuke kita, and takahiro yamada. ichiji kiyoshi joined them a bit later.

they play high octane guitar rock with emo and powerpunk influences. their strong edgy melodies, adrenaline-drenched guitar and b-ss, fast-paced drumming, perfectly syncronized with gotou’s amazing vocal talents had gained them numerous amounts of fans and awards(even for music videos, lol). although it took a couple of years to achieve the popularity that they have gained, ajikan alb-ms are topping charts, hundreds and thousands of copies of their records have been sold and they are filling magazine racks and displays of music shops all over j-pan.

also, their singles “rewrite” and “haruka kanata,” used respectively as the themes to anime series fullmetal alchemist and naruto, have managed to snag asian kung-fu generation a much deserved international fan base.

refered to as ajikan by most fans. you should as well.
