 Kimonos I know a bunch of us have been enjoying their album the past couple of weeks, so I'm surprised no one has made a thread yet.
For those out of the know, Kimonos is a band featuring Mukai Shutoku of Zazen Boys and Leo Imai.

Re: Kimonos Listened to this on repeat for days, one of the strongest albums I've heard this year.

Re: Kimonos I LOVE this album. Everything Mukai touches is gold.
Also, Sports Men is a cover. It was originally done by Haruomo Hosono, a member of the legendary Yellow Magic Orchestra. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcDcJvUi_2I[/url]

Re: Kimonos lol yeah, everybody points that out. Also, Tokyo Lights is a Leo Imai song, so I guess that makes it a sort of self-cover almost.

Re: Kimonos hey guys, just wanted to mention that Sports Men is actually a cover by Haruomo Hosono and not a Kimonos original. Just thought i'd point that out.

Re: Kimonos I'm warming up to this album. Miss is a great track. This is a really fun album to play along with using funk-styled guitar, which I really enjoy. I think it's kind of interesting that a lot of Zazen fans were lukewarm about Asobi but enjoy this. I like Mukai's take on new wave so I'm not going to complain - especially if it means Zazen Boys go in a different, unpredictable direction from now on.

Re: Kimonos Unlikely, but it'd be nice. If Mukai could do something between Kimonos and Number Girl, it'd be Japan's new best Alt-rock.

Re: Kimonos I love that Haruomi Hosono song by the way. Infectious and very endearing.

Re: Kimonos Mogura is so goofy and edgy... love it.
But really, this whole album is general gold.

Re: Kimonos And Leo's vocals are so sexy
And Mukai comes in and ties it all together!
Such an amazing song!

Re: Kimonos I finally bought a copy of this album after not listening to it in years, and now I really like it. Mogura is a hell of an annoying track and I don't like No Modern Animal much either, but almost every other song is awesome. From Miss to the end of the album, pretty much the whole thing is a winner.

Hipster Kyle, album is under 2 years old still by a month, hasn't been listening to it for years plural.
Also, dat funky New Wave, why don't you dig it? I do agree that they're not the best songs on there though, but I wouldn't say annoying. Then again, I listen to and like some Zazen Boys, so...
