Time for music. 10.05(wed) release " KILLER STREET" This is my fave band.
The Southern All Stars consists of five members.With stylish lyrics and characteristic vocals, the name "Southern All Stars" spread throughout Japan. Because of their unique performance, they were criticized as a comic band at first. However, since the third single "いとしのエリー(Itoshi no Eri)" became a big success in 1979, Southern All Stars became a band that represented Japan. Their 44th single "TSUNAMI" sold 3 million CDs and won the 42nd Japan Record Grand Prize in 2000. In 2003, the band celebrated their 25th anniversary. Southern All Stars' fanbase consists of all ages, and both genders. The band's songs cover many genres, including: love songs, ballads, social songs, and humorous songs.
Because they're so unique, I think they're not well received by foreigners... So despite of their popularity in Japan, I guess they've never been debut in the US. Anyway, it's really cool band. A new album for the first time in 7 years will be released on October 5, 2005. You can hear at this site. Check these links out!
