Who likes this band? I find this to be my favorite jrock band (Well, rather favorite rock band in general) Anybody else fans of them? Some of my favorite songs include: Mirai No Kakera. Loop & Loop, Kona Yuki, Kimi to iu Hana, Rashiban, and Rewrite. I love it how that they are like all almost 30 and playing because they like to (Atleast it seems so) and they aren't Visual Kei and trying to attract people with look (don't get me wrong. I'm not hating visual kei)

Also be sure to check out some music videos

I like some of their songs, namely Kaigandori, Kimi to lu Hana, Mugen Glider, Rasuto, Re re and Sono Wake wo. Ronin introduced me to this group. My conclusion: Not bad, not bad at all. I personally find their style pretty funky and unique. *nods*

Rewrite is awesome. Although I'll admit the only reason I even heard this in the 1st place was because of FMA...

I love them. Kimo To Iu Hana and Loop and Loop are my top favorites! By the way, I emailed saying that many fans over in the USA want them to tour over here. Guess what, I got a reply from their English translator they are considering touring here this year. WOOOHOOOOO! Now all we need is Hyde to come over to tour the East coast!!

I haven't heard them, but my friend Josh likes them.
If you guys remember Monkey J. Luffy here, yeah, that's him. XD

I started to like AKG when I heard Rewrite on FMA and then I started to like them as a band because all of their lyrics (at least the english trans that I've seen so far) are clean and now I have almost every song they've ever made. FLASHBACK is my favorite, despite how short it is.

EDIT: Here's the best fansite for AKG: akfgfan.com

They have english trans of all the lyrics and a literal ton of other info.

I like this band. They have a very unique sound. I like Mirai no Kakera, Rewrite, and Loop and loop. I like another one by them, but I don't remember the name.

Is it just me or is the theme they did for Naruto's 3rd opening pretty similar to Rewrite?

I think they're both written in the same key, but that's about it. Some of the chords are the same, so the guitar licks are kind of similar.

I noticed that, too. A few times I've caught myself humming one and somehow mixing the other into it.
Anyway, I bought their album "Sol-fa" at last year's Otakon. They're not exactly my favorite J-rock band, but pretty good nonetheless.

It was Naruto's second opening, called "Haruka Kanata".

Yeah, I've done that, too, Spoony. It's kinda weird.

Anyway, I lurve Sol-Fa and would like to get some of their other albums, too, if they weren't so expensive. Heh heh.
