ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION – New single “MARCHING BAND” PV, release on 11/30

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION‘s PV for their new single “MARCHING BAND“. Find it on Jpopsuki.

Really cool PV =D. It looks and feels so natural. The whole video just screams of youth and matches AKFG’s music well. Despite the simplicity, there’s a lot going on in this music clip. I like how everything seems to exaggerated. Combined with the special effects, this video really jumps out and comes to life.

The song sounds just like something AKFG would release and is very characteristic of them! Everything from the steady drum/bass line to the excellent guitar riffs and melody draw you in right from the get go. There’s a clear distinction between rhythm and lead guitar here. As such, “MARCHING BAND” is a great example of how well AKFG embodies the ideal quartet band. Every member’s part can be picked out easily, and they all come together to create an amazing sound.

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION is the first Japanese artist I seriously listened to. They were the gateway into J-music for me. After all these years, I’m so glad to see they are still making these kinds of excellent songs.
