hohoho, here's a present for your boredom, since I know you love the kofs of the past~ I still think the early ones had big problems (EVIL DAMAGE RATIOS!!! ><;), but nostalgia is a wonderful thing ^_^
"I WAS MADE TO LIVE IN AMERICAaaa.." I LOVE THIS SONG (and the video!) this is the kinda bands I like to listen to.. I need to get more of that one CD - 'wacky punk' band.. maybe in a second post... Thanks Yuu : }
I honestly don't know TOO much about J-punk, but I did pick up some names when I was there during my year abroad (it was really booming at the time along with hip-hop and r&b styles). Mongol 800 is a fan favorite, and Hi-Standard does a bunch of killer remixes of old classics (Elvis's "Can't Stop Falling In Love!!!" Damn, I should have sung that at my wedding... I needed a live band ^^;). However, my choice fav goes to a little band by the name of Going Steady. They only have a couple albums and are no longer together, but man, their stuff is magic. The vocalist isn't the best (my kendo senpai complained about his singing when I was pumping it on the way to a tournament. sacrilege!), but the man does it with such POWER that you can't help but listen.
damn, I wish I had brought my cds with me. I could have sent you a copy of my choice fav, "Tokyo Shonen," which is basically a re-lyriced remix of John Denver's "Country Road." That's the stuff dreams are made of~ (actually, J probably has a copy... ^^)

Yeah, I still have that copy of "Tokyo Shonen" on my working computers. :) Since you're never around on AIM anymore, I'll send it to your Gmail. ;P
