Has anyone ever heard of this band? My friend just sent me two of their songs, Great Stuff! I wish I had a way of uploading them... But anyways anyone ever heard of em?

Love them, they're awesome. They simply have the coolest cover art around.

And the opening scene to 'Full Metal Alchemist' that goes with 'REWRITE' is just mind-blowing.

Actually forked out the money for a Japan version of 'SOL-FA' (The OS came 6 months later), and it was well worth it.

I'm interested to hear what their PVs are like though, I've only seen the infamous lobster one for 'Kimi no machi made'.

:laugh I seen that PV too haha, its so random but I like it :thumbsup. You should go to http://www.akfgfan.com/ They have some PV's too, all of em are so awsome. I especially liked loop and loop.

One of my friends tried to get me into them, but they seemed too pop/punk for me for some reason. O.o I think what also added to my being uninterested was because in the year I first heard them, everyone was in love with Naruto. So it was like "meh". Kra is about as punk as I go n.n;

Thanks for the site BOKU/-LINK-/Felipe, will check it out! :thumbsup

Awesome wallpapers on the site by the way~

Agreed.
Besides, it's one popular band recently speaking.
Period.

Yeah I seen a couple music videos by them!

I heard of them! They sound pretty awesome. I've only heard one song of theirs called "Kimi to iu hana". As for uploading, I always use YouSendIt. There are other methods like YouShareIt, yahoo briefcase, and Direct Download too (I'm not sure how to use these to be honest, but I'm just throwing some options out there). I hope this helps. Also, if you don't have Kimi to iu hana already, I wouldn't mind uploading it for you.

I've seen the lobster in a swimming pool pv by them

I read the Japanese article that they talked with ASH which is well-known Irish rock band.
According to it,favorite artists for the singer are Weezer,Oasis and Pixes.
Actually,it has been said that they are "Weezer in Japan" in Japanese music magazine.
Anyway,I'm glad rock bands influenced a lot by such a Western musician become popular in Japan.

Weezer, really? Awe, that's so cool. Weezer is awesome!

Haha that Lobster PV was hilarious :]

The "Lobster PV" is the PV for Kimi no Machi Made, one of my favorite songs by them ^^
Their music is just great. It's non-commercial and fresh. Me loves.
I uploaded their album "Sol Fa" in the off-topic downloads section if anyone's interested.

I couldn't find a thread on them in the artist & band section after searching using many different terms/phrases, but then searched only in asian chat section, and I found it! (this thread, lol)

So, any other Asian Kung-Fu fans on AHS ?

Recently, their latest PV was uploaded in the asian downloads section, so go there to download it. :)

It's been awhile since I've heard any material on them, so I am happy they are back with new music.

actually, there is a thread: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67691

^ Oops, my bad, thanks for telling me. :)

Ok, I guess we should post in that one. ^^
