ONIGIRI SPECIAL

this is kinda early for the weekly roundup (day ahead) but what the hey. Today's ONIGIRI SPECIAL is on ASIAN KUNG FU GENERATION. don't freak, fellow jrockers, i'm not a crazy "pop rock" kinda fan. i just like alt. jrockish music as well. the feature is Sol-Fa ALBUM, released in '04. 3rd album is Kyokujun, due to be released in April (this month). Recent songs include "World Apart" and "Fan Club".

THIS PODCAST: '04 Sol-Fa ALBUM
------> this album is kinda old, but it shows much progress from their early music. i like alt. bands, so this is not an obsession. and i know that Masafumi isn't the most attractive vocalist. Sol-Fa sold +500,000 copies in Japan.
THE LINEUP: 4 fav AKG songs
RIRAITO [Rewrite] ~(my top catchy song, oldy but goody)
RASUTO SHIIN ~(not too shabby...)
Re.Re. ~(also the name of '05 tour, a good guitar song)
24 ji ~(another catch guitar mix)
