"If you're a fan of Ska, I suggest that you pick up this recording. I assume no one is reviewing this band because they are a mainstay in Japan, and haven't really made it big in the United States (what Ska band has REALLY made it big in the United States after all). Anyway, these guys are great, and the sound quality is awesome. I would also recommend picking up their live album Gunslingers. Another good Japanese Ska band is Kemuri."

Skank those dreads and don't drop your sushi!

"Many years ago I was listening to the radio (to a now defunct programme) when the car turned into a mosh pit! What in the hell was that? None other than this album. What a blast.Twelve practitioners of the genre, still learning on this album, but quite capaable of pumping out a strict ska beat with jazzy solos over the top. Some of the compositions are not at the same standard as the others, but on the whole, a fun fun fun purchase. Just be glad that it is still in print."
