Ling tosite sigure/just A moment (2009)

A three-piece rock band formed in Saitama in 2002, Ling tosite sigure/Rin Toshite Shigure's third full-length album and the debut album on the major label Sony Music Associated Records. The members are TK/Toru Kitajima (guitar, vocals), 345/Miyoko Nakamura (bass, vocals) and Pierre Nakano/Masatoshi Nakano (drums). The sound is in the post-hardcore/emo style featuring loud guitar and male/female twin vocals in high tones. Beautiful melodies filled with wistful lyricism. Complex, elaborate song structures with lots of changes of tempo, like prog-rock. The lyrics are Japanese. All the songs written, composed and produced by TK. Includes two singles, "Telecastic fake show" and "moment A rhythm" (short ver.). Recommended to those who like Japanese emo band such as Bloodthirsty Butchers, Eastern Youth and Asian Kung-Fu Generation.
