Presentation in Sonar 2007 We had a presentation in Sonar, Barcelona, 14-16th June 2007. We made "here is akichi" sticker (artwork-above by Andreas och Fredrika) and flyer for our releases (artwork by eiko maekawa). AKICHI artist, Tuomas Toivonen (FI / stupido) did live performance on 15th June in SonarVillage.
The guitar riffs lay over one another, and the galaxy is beamed within the
mind. This is the only soundtrack made for both darkness and light.
[Recommendation]
He has a good instinct! The more technique a person has, he tends to fall into a stereotypical fetish, but the
way he avoids that smoothly, is nothing but a proof of genius.
-Rei Harakami
Although Asano himself is soft spoken, his guitar resonates far better than words.
-Yoshitomo Nara

gmak002 Urichipangoon / Giant Club
AKICHI RECORDS is proud to present the long-awaited, brand new album by Urichipangoon from the land (county) of Urichipan. Since the release of their noted first album of five years, they have captivated the thirsty souls of the Osaka underground with their organic, dreamy, heart-warming and yet heavily experimental music, and has since evolved into a four piece band from the original two, building up to this second feat called “GIANT CLUB”.
While approaching music from the world over with their own takes and angles, they continue to pursue a new breed of pop music adding new aesthetics with pure and persistent takes. With careful attention to detail and creative technique at its best, the singing, chorus and melody speak to the heart. Keyboard arrangements shine and spark, with strong and sensitive rhythms that remind you of a classic jazz drummer, being happy and sensitive at the same time. Their music communicates to a nostalgic and faraway place in the deepest corridors of the mind. So come hither, to where the “giants” have arrived in search of a new expression. Come, and feel welcome, in the new land of Urichipangoon!

The fluttering of distant memories comes to life through the sounds of Francesco Giannico, whose blend of electronics and acoustic instruments paint beautiful pictures of lost times. His musical approach is described as a cinematic journey which pushes the boundaries of digital media even further by incorporating smooth melodies and gentle textures. More traditional instruments such as guitar and piano are constantly present into Francesco’s music, within interrupted structures or long and dreaming sonorous carpets.
