Format:Audio CD
As for me, I am a relative newcomer in this whole J-Rock and J-Pop thing, so I can't claim I am an expert on the subject. Being somewhat sceptical of the whole Japanese rock scene at first (weird..Japanese persons and their wierd rock) this sole album has now made me wanting to buy all Asian Kung-Fu Generation albums and other J-Rock albums at once. I won't say words can't describe the quality of this album, because words certainly can. This album is just great (or 'greatoh!' if you want to mention that with a Japanese-English accent). It's swinging, it sounds good, it makes you want to listen to it all day long, and more. In other words, it will cost one trouble to find a better rock album nowadays, or it has to be one of Gackt's outstanding CDs, but that's for another review.

About the music itself, what can one expect? Well, for one thing, the voice of the leadsinger isn't perfect, and during those few times you don't listen to this album you will wonder what it is that drags you to and trough it again. But even though his voice isn't perfect, it fits the music perfectly, and you wouldn't want it any other way. The music itself is really swinging, not catchy, but it just sounds great. Whether you listen to it as background music while doing something else, or whether you listen to the music itself, plain enjoying it, you will love this album and it never gets irritating or boring, not even after listening to it for 10 times straight, and trust me, I've been in that situation.

Japan's Best 18 Oct 2005
By Justin Pak - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION is one of the best alternative/rock bands to come out of Japan. They're unique indie rock feel and soulful lyrics offer a breed of Japanese music that you can't find anywhere else. Unlike the typical "J-ROCK" band, Ajikan came up from the ranks of the Japanese indie rock scene and has established themselves as a musical powerhouse for J-Alternative music.

Sol-fa, their 2nd full album is a beautiful album with a mellow feel. It contains a lot of their hit singles including Loop and Loop, Siren, Rewrite (4th OP for Full Metal Alchemist for you anime geeks), and Kimi no Machi Made. This is one of their best albums so pick it up. I'm glad Tofu Records and Sony Music decided to bring this band over to the states. Listen and be hooked.

Amazing! 26 May 2005
By Avande - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Immensely satisfying music and great lyrics! I would definitely recommend this CD to anyone who already likes Ajikan, to be sure--"Rewrite" is my favorite song on the album, but "Siren" and "Re:Re" (don't ask me about that title; your guess is as good as mine" also definitely stand out. Siren has a fascinating musical arrangement. Absolutely excellent CD. I don't care if you've never heard Ajikan; this is brilliant. ^^

Ajikan 30 Oct 2005
By Richard Fitzgerald - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Asian Kung-fu Generation (AKG, AKfG or Ajikan are common nicknames for this band) is one of the best bands in Japan right now. They have been recording songs for many years and have a strong following in both the US and Japan. Ajikan is my personal favorite band. Their Indie-rock sound and lyrics that hit the heart are what makes people so drawn to them. This CD is their best-selling full albumn yet (their other albumn being Kimi Tsunagi Five M or Kunkei Faibumu and a mini Albumn called Houkai Amplifer). With a new single called Blue Train planned for release November 30th, Ajikan is steadily making their way to the top! A great band to start with if you're not quite into Japanese Rock. They are fun and exciting. They can do a great dancing song as well as a pounding ballad that strikes your heart strings. They are such an Awesome Band! Remember folks, AKG is Love >w<
