ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - Korogaru Iwa, Kimi ni Asa ga Furu, Released: February 6, 2008

One of the top acts in J-rock, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION had a fairly quiet year in 2007, releasing only one single in November, the Bleach theme and Oricon #6 hit After Dark. The band is starting early in 2008 though with a single in February, and an album to follow in March. Their first release of 2008, Korogaru Iwa, Kimi ni Asa ga Furu ("Rolling Stone, Morning Falls Upon You") is a stirring mid-tempo rock number with an easy melody and lyrics that expound on the joys and sorrows of living in today's world. The curiously titled side track Enoshima Escar is a reference to an escalator leading to Enoshima shrine.
