  • Bio

    ..At the start of 2004, following the tradition of politically inspired punk bands such as The Clash and Dead Kennedys, a central member of Akiakane, Moe (guitar, vocals) began playing a distinct dual guitar sound that balances catchy harmonies and punk energy with provocative lyrics. In "1945", Moe reminds us that a pilot's sacrifice would not go in vain, while "Kaze To Tomoni" expresses a pilot's own feelings about fighting away from home. Finally "Uncle Sam", the band's most provocative song, questions America's international affairs "from MacArthur to Bush." .. .. While their music addresses their own domestic concerns, Akiakane also began to raise awareness of the growing tension between Taiwan and China. Their support for an independent Taiwan from China began several years ago, when former band Softball was invited to perform at the annual Say Yes To Taiwan festival, a series devoted to the independence of Taiwan. In February, with the support of record label Einstein Records, the Say Yes To Taiwan concert series saw its first overseas show in Tokyo. With over 50 Japanese bands declining to perform in fear of political pressure from China, they realized that conservative thinking is not only caused by politicians or the media, but also a lack of participation from common people. .. .. With a renewed sense of responsibility, Akiakane headed to Taiwan to take part in a 2.2 million human chain protest against China's nuclear missle program, followed by a performance in front of the government building, which was televised across Taiwan and under China's watchful eye. Their efforts were appreciated by President Chen Shui-bian, who publicly shook hands with the members at a ceremony. .. .. Such encounters with influencial people have inspired the band and helped shape their courageous attitude. Among her interviews, Moe was able to talk to former WWII navy pilot Takeshi Maeda, whose actions at Pearl Harbor eventually lead to a dedication towards peace. Realizing its importance, Takeshi has travelled across the world to spread his messages, in hopes of bridging different cultures and generations. And with that in mind, Akiakane brings their own messages about peace to future generations across the world. .. .. In 2005, Akiakane's single CD and album CD took No,1 of Tower records indies sales chart in japan. In May 2006, full album "KASUMISOU" has been released from ASIANMAN RECORDS. In February 2007, Akiakane joined in "SPIRIT OF TAIWAN FESTIVAL" at soccer stadium in Taiwan. In March 2007,Akiakane toured around Europe(United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium). .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..AKIAKANE Germany 2008...... .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. | ..More Videos.. .. .. ..Buy the AKIAKANE "Kasumisou" CD at ASIAN MAN RECORDS!
