To the fans outside of Japan,

The unique 11 tracks filled with many characters passed through the time travel from The Beatles in 60s, hard, psychedelic and prog rock in 70s, via metal and punk in 80s, to madchester and grunge in 90s... All the factors are mixed and go green's reborn sounds easily leap the time and language. (*8 tracks in English, 2 in Japanese, 1 Both)

Bio

"go green" is a.k.a. Kenji, who used to play in the several bands as a bass player under Japanese indie music scene in the early 90s (e.g. Love Chameleons, Spiritual Cowboys). He started go green in 1995, as a three-piece (Guitar-Bass-Drums) band. They didn't have much live shows like former bands but concentrated on self-recordings (by 4-track cassette recorder!). A few years later, go green has shifted to Kenji's solo recording project, sometimes with guest players.

Several songs recorded during the period were aired on Inter FM (Tokyo) program "Beyond The Charts" ("Sausage" in Feb. 2000, "Plum Baby" in Mar. 2000, "Inner flight" in Jun. 2001) selected by DJ, Mr. Steve McClure, Billboard's Asia bureau chief.

Almost all of the songs are written, performed, recorded (now it's developed into multi-track recordings on Mac :) ) and produced at his small apartment (except Drums!) in Tokyo and released on the web to the world. So-called "bedside recording", that's the ultimate underground music activities! At the same time, go green tries to break the limit of it on sound quality by powerful rhythms, crunchy guitars and floating melodies.

go green released the first album "From Apple To Pepper" in 2002, under the first and the largest music website "mp3[dot]com" but it was terminated by closing their former site.
Then the re-mastered version is exclusively released on iTunes Store in June 2007.





In 2008, go green restarted the live shows in Tokyo. Kenji plays with acoustic/electric guitars and pre-self-recorded back tracks on iPod. That performance is sometimes described as a "stand-alone rock band".

In 2009, Kenji aka go green applied for the "UK Songwriting Contest 2009" and received "Semi-Finalist" status. The songs were "Baby Smiley Smile" and "Fantastic Bloom", and both of them got the score 6 (10 is the highest) in the Rock / Indie category.
