ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s “Seijya no March” sings out for love

As promised by household alternative rockers, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION has delivered a fresh music video for their new song Seijya no March (生者のマーチ) inline with the trio of best of albums. Gotch sings out prayers for life around him in this love song, depicting the preciousness of hugging people amongst other wholesome themes. This gentle yet heartstring pulling track is a little too perfect for a mild spring night, so have a listen below:

Working on the set of albums seems to have put Gotch in a thoughtful mood, leading to a string of tweets explaining some of the thinking and interesting points behind some of their songs. An AFKG fan club has helpfully translated some of these which you can read here:

Re: “All right Part2” >> “As for why this song is ‘Part 2’? There are already 50,000 songs in the world called ‘All right’, and we didn’t want to make the same thing, but rather make a sequel to those ‘All rights’. So that’s why we made it ‘Part 2’.” https://t.co/2GybhpSJH4

“Firstly, the lyrics, it is a ‘A-I-U-E-O composition’ (aka ‘alphabet poem’): Asa~ Ima no~ Uzukumaru~ EDI to iu na no inu no mokei~, like that.
There are also other wordplay songs like this on ‘Landmark’. ‘A to Z’, as well.”https://t.co/2LmH3U3vkL

“As for the bass beginning, ‘Haruka Kanata’ also started with a bass; bass beginnings are kinda movie-like, so it suits the series. Thanks to NARUTO, we were able to go to many countries, for which I am grateful.”https://t.co/SRz5jwDyex

There are more tweets explaining Kakato de Ai wo Uchinarase, Yoru wo Koete, and even Anemone no Saku Haru ni, so head on over to read Gotch’s thoughts as there are some really interesting nuggets for both old fans and new.
