Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut album from one of the most iconic bands of the 'Seishun Punk' (youth punk) movement in Japan, 'Boys & Girls' is an explosion of raw, youthful energy. The album is characterized by its simple, heartfelt lyrics about love and adolescence, delivered over fast, melodic punk rock arrangements. It became a touchstone for a generation of Japanese youth and laid the foundation for the members' subsequent, highly influential project, Ging Nang Boyz.
