Kenn's Comment: What's not to love about ska? It's a refreshing when you consider most of the music you hear on the radio is either pop or rock. Plus, I find it better than electronic music (it's bad for the musicians ears due to constant atonality and whatnots apparently). Anywho, vocals are provided by guest, Fumio Itou from KEMURI, a ska band back in the 90's. All the lyrics to this one are in English, and Fumio's English is good too, so those who have a hard time listening to engrish will be relived to know this. 

Anywho, TSPO (Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra) is great in the fact that they can do so many different styles of music. They've got many kinds of ska, with jazz, reggae, calypso and various other influences that come with their members. I realize ska isn't really for everyone, but this particular song is fairly light ska, so I'm sure it'll cross the genre boundaries for some people. Enjoy!
