dialogueASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
This is Asian Kung-Fu Generation’s (commonly known as Ajikan) 27th single, released in October 2020.
This is just my personal impression, but I think the band’s vocalist, Goto, has a very familiar, approachable voice—in a good way.
He doesn’t sing in an extremely high register, nor does he have the deeply resonant tone of low-voiced singers from the Showa era, but I find his singing, which centers on lower-register melodies, incredibly appealing.
I feel this song is crafted in a way that fully conveys Goto’s charm.
