〈閃光ライオット〉のファイナリストでもある、2010年結成の4人組による2作目。やたら尖ったツイン・ギターと生々しい音作り、泣きの旋律が持ち味で、リヴァーブをたっぷり利かせたギターの獰猛さはナンバーガールを思わせたりも。“ファイトクラブ”のような攻撃性だけでなく、キャッチーな即効性のある“赤い春”、はたまた「ウサギとカメ」をテーマにしたバラード“亀の速さで”と、幅や奥深さも備えている。

Aru Kankaku - "Vital Respect"

Aru Kankaku released their second album.  It is a four-piece band formed in 2010 and one of the finalists of 'Senkou Riot (meaning Flashing Riot)' which is a rock festival for teenagers organized by a radio program SCHOOL OF LOCK!, a radio station TOKYO FM.  They are characterized by edgy twin guitar sounds, raw sounds creation and touching melody, and ferociousness of guitar sounds using reverb effect reminds me of an alternative rock band Number Girl.  As the tracks have shown such as an aggressive tune "Fight Club," a catchy and quick impact song "Akai Haru (meaning Red Spring)" and a ballad "Kame no Hayasa de (meaning At Tortoise-like Pace)" on the theme of the Hare and the Tortoise, their music has a range and depth.
