The Shaolin Brothers "Hyo-tan Rhapsody"

Rock band The Shaolin Brothers (known in Japanese as Shaolin kyōdai) has just released an album! This follows the release of 7" singles "Pandafull World" and "koi no Dial 6700 / tasogare Wo Ai Ni". The songs "Pandafull World" and "tasogare Wo Ai Ni" (a duet with Maki Nomiya) are included on the album, along with a bunch of new recordings of favorite original rocking songs, some of which had been previously heard in their shows (only "Batman Theme" is a cover). The jacket illustration is by Kaseki Cider.

The Shaolin Brothers have also been seen recently backing Maki Nomiya for self-covers of Pizzicato Five's "Tokyo wa yoru no 7ji" and "Twiggy Twiggy" and also two songs on Suzuki Masayuki's latest album, all of these under the production of Konishi Yasuharu.
