"Moe rocks her way back into our hearts with blue hair, her low slung guitar and a new band! After Softball broke up Rie and Haruna joined up with Syunsuke and started the Babys (excellent band) while Moe got together with 3 other girls to form Akiakane. Kasumisou is basicly what you'd expect from the former front woman of Softball, rock'n catchy punk songs. Just about all the songs on this album are re-recordings (mostly in english) of songs form two of there japanese mini albums, Hana wa Sakuragi Hito wa Bushi and No White Supremacy. I give this album a 4 only because I like some of the original japanese recordings better. If your looking for some good'ol japanese all girl punk rockers Moe delivers, and rules! So buy this album before China declares war on Moe!!!!"

Great Japanese all-girl punk band

"From the ashes of Japan's Softball comes another excellent all-girl punk band. Akiakane balances the right amount of heaviness and girliness, creating a cool street punk/pop-punk hybrid that is hard-edged yet cute and catchy. And they are VERY catchy, even if songs top 4-5 minutes. Check out Tepee, 1945, Hanamichi, and the title track, but all the songs are standouts. FYI - The unlisted track is a great cover of the Pistols' EMI."
