Music Thursday: Asian Kung-Fu Generation – 橙 (Daidai)
So I am finally getting around to AKFG’s most recent full-length album, マジクﾂヂセｲスﾂク (Magic Disc).
This is shit hot, folks. The band continues to noodle out in a few directions which could be stereotyped as typical for older rockers — more thoughtfulness, more minor keys, an urge to capture a sense of the national feeling and the concerns of today’s youth. How far Gotoh and Co. have come from those early (bad) stadium rock days!
P.S. A daidai is a bitter orange. Lyrics and translation for the song here.
