It's been a few months since I posted something about Rock Band Japan and my song wishlist.To reintroduce this section again, I've picked the band that first got me into Japanese Rock Music, thanks again to Frank Smith for giving me an ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION cd. Ajikan, as they're called for short has done numerous opening for Animes, including Rewrite for Fullmetal Alchemist, Haruka Kanata for Naruto, and After Dark for Bleach. Their lyrics border on EMO but their musical style has always been developing. Their earlier albums reflected their unpolished youthfulness but their last two albums have seen them mature and change into a band that is always changing their sound and complexity. I love almost anything I hear from them and I'd love to see them in Rock Band Japan.
I chose this song because of well roundedness and also because it's a great intro song for someone to just jump in and listen to. Plus the video is pretty entertaining. And also because it's not from and Anime.

Sorry for being simple minded on this one, but I love the fact that I don't understand the word they say. Heck, I'm french so I even enjoy english song even more for that. It's really some great music none the less, I really love the beat in it. BTW, are they really call Rock band japan?
The band is Asian Kung-Fu Generation.
I'm just hoping they're in Rock Band.
I don't understand Japanese either. I've taken a few classes so I can pick out a sentence or two, but one of the reasons I love Japanese Music is that I feel you can understand the song just by pay attention to how they sing. I know it sounds weird but don't forget 90% of communication is non-verbal.

I wasn't around for this post originally, but I wanna say I've always loved this song, and band. I'm pretty sure if Rock Band does come out in japan, chances are there will be at least one Asian Kung-Fu Generation song on there. They seemed awfully popular when I was in Japan last year... I hope so, anyway!
