Browse piano sheets by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION on Zen Virtual Piano. ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION is a rock band, and its talk about Haruka Kanata describes songwriting as shared studio work. A band member says the song began with the bass intro. The group took inspiration from the British band The Stone Roses, yet the result turned out completely different: fast-paced and loud. That direction answered a concrete need. At the time the band did not have many fast-paced, emotional songs, so it set itself a theme of writing fast and loud material that could survive in the intense Japanese rock scene, even though the style was not standard for the band. The members worked on the song together in a small studio in Yokohama, exchanging various ideas. The band later returned to the song. Because listeners had heard the old version so many times, one member brought out old instruments and equipment and recorded the sound with them, hoping a performance made now would differ from the old version while keeping some of its old goodness. The band also cites Yellow Magic Orchestra as a model for presenting an Asian style as seen from the West, with melodies and guitar riffs written with Asian and Japanese melodies in mind.
