Rather than appreciating the full depth of Japanese music, and appreciating that it is just as diverse as the music of other countries, Japanese music is often treated as a strict division between JRock and Jpop. the band apart are an antidote to this narrow view. K. and his bike is their debut album; a mixing of rock, jazzy riffs and indie, and sung completely in English. Takeshi Arai's vocals are raw, untrained, and incredible. Songs range from the powerful, guitar driven FUEL to the jazz funk of Eric.W, and there's even a surprise track at the very end of the CD which is bound to put even the most miserable of listeners in a good mood. A really good, solid purchase.

Description
[Machine Translation] Since its formation in 1998, the band has been active with its own unique stance, sublimating the atmosphere of Vosa Nova in its first Maxi, and in the following 2nd Maxi, it established a rare rock sound, incorporating tastes of various genres such as ACID JAZZ, FUSION, and DANCE CLASSIC. On August 13, 2003, the band released a pilot song, " Pinocchio e.p. ", a newly recorded version of "When You Wish Upon a Star". Pinocchio e.p." was released on August 13, 2003, and on September 24, their first full album " K.AND HIS BIKE" was finally released! The album has an artistic rock sound that reflects the musicality of the musicians who were called "musician's musicians," and it is a work that allows one to feel the unlimited possibilities of their future direction. After the release of this album, it has been decided that the band will be performing their own activities in asian gothic, which they themselves organize.
