Shocking Lemon

Hi thank you for visit my blog. I haven`t got a favourite band but Shocking Lemon it´s a remarkable band. It was a Japanese group formed in 1996, Shocking Lemon Is composed of 4 musicians, Hideki Taniuchi (guitar and vocals), Makoto Sakata and Takahiko Orino( both are bassist), and Toshiki Shimizu (drums). 
Their music style is something like Japanese Indie Rock in fact one of the main influences of the group is the British band called The Smiths, I assure you that if you like Morrissey, you liked Shocking Lemon.
I met this band thanks to a Japanese animation called Hajime no Ippo! (The first step!) which open each chapter with the song Inner Light. 
Unfortunately the band separated on 2007 because in Japan were unsuccessful and didn't enter to any ranking, however has been called by many as one of the most underestimated bands of Japan and Hideki(guitar and vocals) still works in music, mainly for Anime industries.
In general I like Asian music and always I look for new bands. For me the song Karma Place from the album Sometimes Alone is the best, go for it!.
