Kemuri is a fast paced Japanese ska/punk band. For diehard ska fans it has horns, and of course ska guitar, but definantly has a fast paced punk feel. This album of course is much more ska than punk. The instrumental is typical ska guitar, with quick peppy horns. The vocals sound like the lead singer has learned english well, but has a very noticible Japanese accent. If you think that sounds bad, well don't it fits the music perfectly. Only one song is actually in Japanese. The lyrics are positive and mostly about unity, peace, and stuff along those lines. Favorite songs include "New Generation", "Prayer", and " Ato-Ichinen". Buy this cd if you love fast paced ska, with a twinge of punk. I give it a 9.
