Okay, I don't have a lot of time on hand right now (a lot of readings to do!) but I'll just throw something up really quick here~ this is a duo I've heard 'bout in recent years but haven't really paid any attention too~ however, after I dug in to this album a couple days ago, man! did I ever get enchanted by their music! I find it really hard to categorize their music style but it's a bit of soft rock, a bit of folk, mixed with some ballad~ as hard to categorize as Lenny Kravitz you may say~ Kobukuro is a duo of 2 men, probably mid-aged, thirty-ish or so~ they sound like your traditional Japanese singers eg Southern All Stars, Tube, Oda Kasumasa, Yamashita Naotaro etc (reminds me of Bruce Springsteen), really traditional, folk kinda voice~ anyways, AN AWESOME ALBUM! I've only kinda finished listening to the first CD but wow, I am impressed! a couple of their songs have really soft beginnings but by the time you finished listening to the entire song, you've probably been rocking for several minutes already! you really have to get your ears perched for the first 30 sec or so before you'll start feeling the rhythem and appreciate the unique music style~ REALLY REALLY CATCHY ALBUM! this album'll get you to rewind it and listen to it over and over again! Okay, what have I to recommend here... the whole album practically~ but I'll throw up a couple songs~ tracks 01 and 06 are must listens esp track 06 永遠(とうわ)にともに~ track 1 actually has a mandarin version from somewhile ago~ those of you who follow the chinese music scene might recall the tune somewhere=)
I am putting up only disc 1 for now~ if I have time later tonight, I'll put up disc 2:D
PS: that's it! they sound like Chage and Aska, the renowned Japanese pop duo!
