AKG - "Wakusei" @NM08

[blueprairie95]

the bassist is sick, man! love the 'middle' part of this vid!!! this is what you call a REAL LIVE ROCK BAND!!! Damn!

[599Thebatman]

hahahah...Best band in the history of the world..xDD..

[TheBlurHeart]

Can anyone tell me what is NM08 ? .__.

Currently I'm listening to 'Wakusei' the most. =) Wonderful song. Makes me want to gyrate and sing along. ^_^

Look at Kiyoshi-san at 0:54 and 1:00 . He looks completely windswept. =))

[Junglepingu]

@TheBlurHeart

NM stands for NANO-MUGEN, referring to a music festival that AKFG hosts. whilst having their own performance (normally on the first day of the festival), they also invite other bands to perform as well, some of which are really worth listening to. the 08 in NM08 just represents the year, 2008. so this video is a clip from the NANO-MUGEN 2008 festival. hope that answers the question. =)

and not sure about wanting to gyrate to it, but Wakusei is an awesome song indeed.

[TheBlurHeart]

@Junglepingu

That explained it very well, Thank you. ^_^ I do am aware of Nano Mugen Festivals and Compilations, (have heard the first one completely, rest are remaining ) though I wasnt quick enough to think that NM could be for Nano -Mugen =)

[asibulunt]

ありがとうございました。！

[UmbrellasSpy]

Good band good song. And hey they play the Mission Impossible theme at 3;06, pretty cool.

[ninetailsninja]

Seen Mars' battlefield

Seen Saturn's ring

Seen Venus on Venus

Rode on a comet's broom

This green earth, Where and what should I do?

Lighting the night beautifully in a way no one else can

brilliant stuff 5* my 3rd fav song of thiers woops shit wrong order of lyric lol

[ninetailsninja]

The rippling stars on the flag

Count up to number 52

Whose rule are we really under?

The skies wrested away, undetected

Seemingly standing on equal ground, a mere deception

Though the present may hold no dreams or hope

A powerful gaze will shine a light on the darkness

Even on nights that make you feel you'll disappear somewhere,

Wait until the morning light

[ninetailsninja]

The skies turned dark for a split second

The weather just as the forecast predicted

Venus rising in the west

Shining on the night through hazy clouds

The way everybody wants to be

If you want to glow brightly in the night skies

Your lofty ambitions will shine a light on you

No matter how bitter and broken down you may feel at night

Wait until the morning light

[Meecro13]

One of the very few bands who consistently sound amazing live every time. If only more bands were like them :P

[xChinatown]

god i love this song, so much energy you get from it. one of my favorites.

i think the chorus is so good, just like most of their songs.

[0XeroXIII13]

I do agree with Marco. I've never seen them live, but I've seen many unedited videos, and videos from people the crowd, and it does sound "too clean". The mastering is poor, and makes it sound pretty bland too. All the NMF08 videos and audio are the same.

[BokuNoAiNoMahou]

Can you list links to these unedited videos/vids from the crowd? I'm curious as to how they really sound compared to the DVD version

[MarcoFuchs0887]

It seems you have never been on a live concert before. I visited dozens of concerts. I also saw AJIKAN. They are good, no discussion here. But this video is not good, because

the mixing has been screwed. It sounds too clean. Not that their sound would be that clean in a live.

And I am not gay. I am happily engaged with a woman.

Stupid fanboy. Get a life.

[AjikanPanda]

Where have you seen Ajikan?!

[MarcoFuchs0887]

dudes.. you all like to get me wrong.

I LOVE AJIKAN, but the live recording and live editing sounds like plastic. Their music is real, but the live recording sounds plain boring. That's all.

[epixeltwin]

I would do UNSPEAKABLE things for a clean mp3 of this version.....

[crimsonblad5]

i'll get it for u if u want

[MarcoFuchs0887]

AJIKAN are great, but they don't sound exciting anymore...

Their live videos are edited like crazy..

[epixeltwin]

you listen to their new song "Natsusemi"?

and also, maybe they're not as punk-rocky as they used to be, but they definitely are still great, maybe you don't like their new "refined" aspect.

[MarcoFuchs0887]

I like Natsuzemi. I like AJIKAN. I like all of their albums.

I even like their live concerts. The problem is their live dvds. And TV broadcasts. That's all. It sounds like plastic music.

[windyalchemist]

if their music sounds like "plastic" music then what is your definition of "good" music?

[Mediaright]

Actually, he has a point: this concert in particular (NMF 2008) was poorly mixed. Every video I've seen from it from the broadcast to the DVD has horrid sound. Too bad, since Ajikan rocked really well in this. Hope they fired the dude.

[binoeee11]

whats the problem of putting something new jams in their lives performances??..4 me thats better than playing the same recorded version of the song... what clumsy way of thinking u have.. O.o

[MarcoFuchs0887]

Learn English. We never spoke about the jam. The jam is amazing. This song has been broadcast on TV. The TV broadcast sounds too clean for AJIKAN. So the mix of the whole song is little bit too clean.

[Alekssim20]

Oh my god! That's awesome!

Thanks for the video!

[KruztyHimura]

Hyper coooooool, I really like AKFG very f***ing good.

And that performance in the middle was amazing, just like Take a look around from Limp Bizkit

[evangeline97]

Sugoi .. Love the surprise !! =) Ajikan rocks !!

[Kalnaf]

Ajikan.

Un-arguably the BEST FCKING ROCK BAND FROM JAPAN!!!

[Beinggreatfull]

@Kalnaf FUCK YEA YOUR RIGHT!! >:D

[SkaterDIZ]

Asian Kung Fu Generation- the band that sounds better live than in studio

[gloriouspeanut]

If you want to glow brightly in the night skies

Your lofty ambitions will shine a light on you

Until the morning light

[1107114]

[1asianman]

[binoeee11]
