I have heard of Sadistic Mika Band firstly with this new album, featuring my best beloved J-Rock singer, Kaela Kimura. I think that despite a good handful of Brit-USA-pop-rock influences, the old-stylish band can respectfully rearrange the full mix of electro-pop-rock and give their audience a nice, long-life and modern album, dense of citations but in the meantime with that "japanese way of reinvent" that makes most of present days' J-Pop and J-Rock new and full of joy. A remarkable piece of work, which deserves several listenings, spacing from pop to half-progressive tracks which may satisfy a large variety of tastes.

As if to prove this point, we were inundated with requests and inquiries from people who wanted to hear the full chorus of the song played in the commercial.

Some rock geezers and dinosaurs do much more than merely embark on endless greatest-hits tours and release tomes of repackaged anthologies. A poignant case in point is the dormant Japanese outfit Sadistic Mika Band or SMB, which has been sporadically active since 1972. Highly influenced by then thriving British glam rock movement and the experimentalism of the likes of Pink Floyd, the cutting-edge band incorporated these vibes into its seminal albums, along the way disbanding and regrouping in 1987 with a new female lead singer before heading for a hiatus again. After what seems like an eternity in the kingdom of pop, SMB is back with a ballistic new album, Narkissos, and fronted by yet another nubile femme, this time the iconic Kimura Kaela (hence, the addition of "Kaela" to the band name.) With its members now older, wiser and more laid-back, the now-sound of SMB, though less boisterous, remains incisive as ever and highly listenable as well.
