latest album - 5296

latest single - Aoku Yasashiku which was released last year on 7th Nov .

I only sit & take notice of this band after they collborate with ayaka on WINDING ROAD & also with Tsubomi .

They have some great songs & their music's very uplifting & soaring .

I recommend Kimi to Iu Na no Tsubasa , Sakura , their breakthough hit Koko ni Shika Sakanai Hana & of course Tsubomi .

Tsubomi's amazing , deserves to be their 1st no.1 single & also it didn't win the Grand Prix award at the 49th Japan Record Awards for nothing

a tall guy and a short guy band

the tall guy on the left's Kuroda Shunsuke (黒田俊介) - Vocal

while the short guy on the right's Kobuchi Kentaro (小渕健太郎) - Vocal, guitar, blues harp, sanshin, finger whistle

Kuroda's damn tall man . He stands at 1.93m :O

[greggerz189]

I'm really taken by Kuroda's voice, but I like Kobuchi's personality more haha

haha

you can definitely tell whose voice's who real easily !

Kuroda's voice is more deep & huskier than Kobuchi's

[greggerz189]

Yeah. Kuroda seems really daunting at first glance, though he's really personable on TV. I think Kobuchi is really funny, though XD

[TITANIC]

i never heard about their songs.maybe someone could recomment me some songs?

[pommy48]

oo thanks for the recommendations~my dad listens randomly to the taiwanese radios, so he knows things, kokukuro's name in chinese is so awesome! aren't they the band that beat GUILTY for #1? if they are, they must be good~

[Luv ~Venus~]

Kubopower thread...YAY! *has heard a song from them...well, except WINDING ROAD and didn't like it*

Thankies Karen for the recommendations. I will try the songs out.

@pommy: Yea, they are the ones that beat GUILTY. They've been really popular for the past few years and selling amazingly well. Female artists going against them is like suicide especially for the ones who have precious records to hold on to.

[pommy48]

oh oh i see~so what kind of style are they? rock/r&b/etc.?

[Luv ~Venus~]

Folk music and pop!

[pommy48]

folk music~interesting!

folk music that's why I suspect most of their fans are housewives . You don't see fangirls liking folk music acts is it ?

oh yeah it's fantastic , it deserves to their 1st no.1 single & not to mention it was the 3rd best selling single for last year .

Their popularity exploded to an all time high when they put out their 11th single Koko ni Shika Sakanai Hana & also ALL SINGLES BEST
