Archetype of LoveAJICO
A supergroup born from the chemistry between two uniquely distinctive artists: UA and Kenichi Asai.
Since forming in 2000, they’ve produced hits like “Hadou” and “Utsukushii Koto,” captivating listeners with a wide musical range from funk sounds to nostalgic tones.
In 2021, they released an EP for the first time in about 20 years and appeared at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL.
Though short-lived, they continue to exert a major influence on the music scene with their striking individuality and high-level musicianship.
Their songs, balancing beauty and bewitching allure, express emotion through imagery and draw listeners into a world that’s uniquely their own.
Highly recommended for those seeking distinctive, character-rich music.
HAPPY BIRTHDAYBLUE ANGEL
Included on the 1992 album “ROCK’ A BILLY.” A four-piece rockabilly band formed in 1985.
With its uptempo rockabilly rhythm, a laid-back melody tinged with the flavor of the American South, and the crackling snap of a slapping upright bass, it’s a truly cool number.
Serves-You-Right Hotheaded GirlGO-BANG’S
A single released in 1988.
A two-member girls’ rock band from Sapporo formed in 1983.
The driving, up-tempo drum rhythm feels great, and the vocals—singing with a touch of cuteness over a bright, poppy melody—make this a charming track.
summer festivalJITTERIN’JINN
Included on the 1990 album “Punch Out.” A three-piece rock band from Nara Prefecture formed in 1986.
This is the original version of the song that Whiteberry later covered and made a hit.
With a nostalgic guitar sound, a melody grounded by the bass, and clear vocals, it’s a track that sings of a boy’s fleeting summer romance.
frecklesJUDY AND MARY
Included on the 1997 album “THE POWER SOURCE.” It was the opening theme for the anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.
The song is by a four-member rock band formed in 1992.
Because the tie-in was decided on suddenly and they weren’t properly told about the tie-in work, they made the song with the only anime everyone knew—Candy Candy—as its theme.
