Thank you for this!! I love Kirinji and have a few of their albums. It's very difficult to find detailed information in English so I am very glad to find this!

I'm happy to hear this! :)
Don't miss their latest (last...) two albums, "Super View" and "Ten".

Cheers Patric. I have Superview, it was the first I bought last year. I'm going to get Ten and a few others when I visit Japan in June. Yay!
