[moonon51]

[BackpackingNepal]

TMGE + Rosso + Midnight Bankrobbers + The Birthday = My Real Rock Music.

[daowie]

thks to Blue Spring for introducing this song to my life

[DontMockForest]

I haven't been able to listen to any other song for the past 2 days.

[osuushiza8]

This song alwys pops in my head whn I see Ryuhei Matsuda pics! xD

I just ♥ this song though.

I need to make it my ringtone! xP

[AntimaterieJoe]

Great Song, a true rock classic!

[golden9999ahoka]

俺はチバの声を国宝に認定しています。

[cerphres]

Reminds me alot of a song called "Lost Crew" by Breach.

[mcnuggets92]

that is the best rock song i've ever heard o_o (maybe ex aequo with Drop :D)

[jackhorkheimer]

I really wish I knew what this song was about.

But maybe it's better I don't, lets me project onto it...

To me, it sounds like a song about how he killed his girlfriend (accidentally?) when he was 16, even though she was the most beautiful person he'd ever met.

[spOOkykid30]

great no more to say !! :)

[JaggarZF]

Odd think my I just heared these guys on the radio and I live in the US

[AudienceKiller66]

@JaggarZF I don't think they've ever been aired on US radio. That would be interest if it were true though.

[JaggarZF]

@AudienceKiller66 On 88.9 in Seattle they do.

[AudienceKiller66]

@JaggarZF that is awesome!

[rockerchain]

que banda mas notable!!!

me encanta esta cancion, podrian hacer una gira a sudamerica o a CHILE solamente ya que aca tienen varios fans...

[misonikumiso]

カリブだの海牛だの言ってる奴がいるけど歌詞間違えてるだけだか­らねこれ

[b008834]

@misonikumiso

カリブーて言うようになってから、他のライブでもずーっとカリブ­ーっ歌い続けてたよ。

[jizzmack]

[newcastle9990]

Wish I had heard these guys years ago! What a cool band!

[canaesm]

[TriggerHappyDave]

[buzzgallo]

[Kuraiyo]

I had absolutely no idea that the guitarist died until just now :( Very sad, he was honestly the tightest guitarist that I know of and TMGE was without a doubt one of the greatest rock bands ever.

This was the first song I heard from them and from the instant I heard it I immediately fell in love. Truly amazing band! R.I.P.

[hoshimaru72]

サアリィイーの角で～

[jeffloco93]

I LIKE TURTLES

[shige081]

3分30秒の、ギターをマシンガンのように客に向けるアベさん・­・・。

やばいです、かっこよすぎて悶絶。

やっぱりアベさんは何時までも俺の中のヒーローです。

[ichiko813813]

アベ。。。カッコイイ

寡黙で熱い･･･鬼のような存在感。

あぁ･･･イタイ･･･胸が痛いー

こんなかっこいいバンド、ないー

[jeffloco93]

pikachu

[Japanorama]

shame the guitarist died. R.I.P! great player!

[w0g4life]

What, he died!?!

[Japanorama]

Yes, he had heart failure. You can try to search Japanese websites about this or something. Here in Japan I heard it from MTV J and it was in some newspaper and magazine.

[ppolomski]

T_________T

[L0WP]

dam these guys r hella good live.. usually when bands sing they dont really sing like on their albums. i found these guys out on the movie Blue Spring. its a pretty cool movie. this is one of my favorite songs

[k3riguma]

Anyone know which album this is from?

[SweetMonaco]

This is from 6th album Rodeo Tandem Beat Spector

[dongmaster2]

R.I.P. Abe Futoshi

[zackpliskin]

Holy hell! These guys know how to rock and roll. Really really tight, energetic and the singer's voice is classic bourbon-drenched cool. Have to get some of their records.

[KOKUHAIPARADIO]

アベ・・・・。ミッシェルはアベ

[jailbom]

こんなバンドはもう出てこない

[GuitarRed6]

Just discovered this band! Awesome!

[Seam09]

アベ、あの世に逝くにはまだ早すぎるよ・・・・

清志郎、マイケル、アベと好きなミュージシャンが亡くなっていく­のは辛い・・・・

[rinhuahua]

アベ

大好きだ

[melody0108]

この殺気立ったアベがたまらなく好きでした。

「やんのか、コラ！」って感じで。

ゆっくり眠ってください。

[miyamotoharuiti]

うおおおお!!あべえええええええ!!!!

[psychogunelephant]

最初、原曲と歌詞ちがいますよね！？

水牛の角で造られた街で～のところ！

何の角だ？？

[rocketboys91]

[daimebaru]

@psychogunelephant 僕も気づきました。「海牛」ですかね？

[b008834]

@daimebaru

横からゴメンね。caribou（カリブー）＝ 北米に生息するトナカイ じゃないかと思うのですが。カリブーの角で作られた町で。

[daimebaru]

@b008834 あぁ、そうでしょう！ありがとうございました＾＾

[tarantism]

legendary band

[fucktheutubeusername]

ebay to buy the album

[almost30boohoo]

only an idiot would buy from ebay, getting pirated or dodgy goods. HMV or Tower to buy the album. straight from authorized dealers

[fucktheutubeusername]

FUCKING AWESOME!best japanese band

[mitsuko2046]

i have to agree

[yvonne102]

gorgeous

[archvizerdm]

awesome band!!!! found them while watching Blue Spring xD!!!!

[hailmolvania]

same. these guys kick it so hard !

[fiendorgyfetisha]

fuuuuck i want to see that movie!!! i just downloaded the soundtrack of Aoi haru and most of it are songs of TMGE, i have 30 minutes listening to them and i can say they are GREAT

btw, did u buy Blue Spring? or find on the internet? XD if 2nd please pass me the link

[hkdaijobu]

search for it @ isohunt [dot] com

[crohnoes]

I watched it a few years ago, don't be expecting anything amazing, it's was watchable. I guess it's one of those movies that means something different to anyone. I couldn't really relate to any of the characters, and it's a character film, there's no real plot.

[markc74nyc]

Anyone know where I can buy this band's music? I can't find it. Thanks!

[hailmolvania]

check ebay !

[ohsem]

I heard this on Blue Spring- cool Japanese film.

[fucktheutubeusername]

wow!!awesome

[giohheo]

Chiba used Gretch and Abe's Fender '72 Telecaster Custom. This is the best song I ever heard using '72 tele custom.

[hkdaijobu]

Chiba used WHITE FALCONS for the most part!

[satomiwa]

I just answered this question (8 months late) because I thought nobody was giving the right answer. That was before I saw this post where you gave the right answer. Guess I should read all the comments before posting..

[giohheo]

Abe was a great player of 72 tele. Rest in peace, Abe.

[buffallo999]

これはこれでいいのだが個人的にはHigh Time辺りまでのパブロックが好きだったな～

[w0g4life]

TMGE rules!

[NK003311]

「青い春」の挿入歌でこの曲が流れてきた時かっこよすぎて鳥肌た­ちゃいました。

[calochamp]

Anyone know what kind of guitar abe futoshi uses?

[schecter1987]

judging by the headstock. i;m saying gibson les paul

[fjrojaspuente]

gibson, gibson

[supercollider23]

Not Gibson. Gretsch.

[satomiwa]

I know this post is 8 months old, but since nobody answered you yet, he plays Fender Telecaster Custom circa '72. Best guitars in the world.

[nate247420]

anyone know where i can find a guitar tab for this its sweet

[tatatatigeeermask]

青い春！

[JINXinabox]

they're really good live!

[gomatama0908]

かっこいいな・・・・

[weirdkidchelsey]

I mean the lyrics.

[weirdkidchelsey]

Anyone know the english translation. I read that there's a copy of it in the american release album or something like that. but none of it on the internet.

[googleconspiracy]

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

[TeflonTron]

@googleconspiracy Crap! Crap!

[googleconspiracy]

@TeflonTron Lol, that made my day. :P

[jailbom]

メロディーが一発でくるね

[mitsuko2046]

yes so bad they brake up

this is one of my fauvorites

[dirtysully]

I still like TMGE the best. Don't get me wrong, I haven't listened to enough Birthday or Rosso to make a very valued judgement. I just love the mood of this song, what is it about that scratchy worn voice that makes the emotion sound so sincere.

[harpokrat]

This concert was their last live in 2003. DVD release's title: Burning Motor Last Heaven.

[kumorinaki70]

why did they brake up!?

解散してほしくなかったよ...

今でも泣けてくる...

[ukyosakamoto]

it disbanded because it become too big. so they make small band. it is said in the book from band members

[CoDeEnCrYpTiOn23]

i wish i could find it on limewire..it's fuckin AWSOME!

What album is it on?

[RetroAsylum]

Rodeo Tandem Beat Specter

[sabSadak0]

love it! <3

[thoughter]

anyone know where to download this? i just cant find it!!!

[dirtysully]

this is probably one of my favorite songs.  Too bad they broke up. TMGE just had a fucking coool sound.

[ClairePeine]

what about... ookami no nodo??

[tigerlee21]

I LOVE Michelle!!

[Shenbon]

LOVE THIS SONG

[genesis707]

is this from a dvd?

[Feuerbach1]

aoi haru, blue spring...AWESOME MOVIE! Ryuhei Matsuda!

[SammySteele]

I have listened to this song 13,000 times, and I can listen to it 13,000 more times.

[littlenausea]

I agree, I love it and can't stop listening to it.

[Recordgrooves]

That goes for any of their albums!

But yeha! this one is pretty brass.

[kasoutsuki]

This song is first that knew from TMGE *.*

Waaaaaaaaaaa Thanks for sharing!! T¬T

[4thnightafterimpact]

favorite song.

Suigyu no tsuno de tsukurareta machide

yakareta mori no unmei wo shitta.

Long Red head Kelly.

[sanchosteve]

[Zibeoh]

[ShinyaWhore]

I want the mp3 )':

[Ruckusrob]

Isn't this song called "Long Red haired Karen"?

[Totalidiocy]

Except for the Kelly/Karen part, isn't that the translation?

[magicarubeamu]

!yorinuki itotake!

[sorrowsguide]

thanx i've loved this song ever since i watched blue spring...just an amazing song

[punkybad]

[mimithepirate]

Thank you for uploading. This song is great and I liked it even more after they used it in the Aoki Haru movie...
