I am going
to make this quick and easy:
I am writing this to inform you all that I will stop all activities on the Twitter and Tumblr pages as well as on the YouTube channel.
There are several reasons why I made this decision, which I would like to explain.
When I started my KBTG Tumblr blog several years ago, the landscape of Japanese music was different compared to today. Finding and listening to KANA-BOON’s music was very difficult for everyone outside Japan, so I wanted to create a place where foreigners could listen to this amazing band. Nowadays, I feel like my activities are not really needed anymore as KANA-BOON’s music is now accessible on Spotify, YouTube and others.
Another reason why I will stop my activities is because I simply do not have the time. I am in college right now and it is way too time-consuming to continue the blogs and channel. If you ever wondered why I was not very active in last couple months – this is why.
Lastly, I would like to take the opportunity and thank you all. Thank you for interacting with me. It made me feel like I am not alone with my love for KANA-BOON.
Thank you for supporting KANA-BOON. They really deserve it. I hope you will continue doing that by buying their music or merchandise.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Yours sincerely,
just another KANA-BOON fan.
KANA-BOON just announced that our beloved bassist Meshida is leaving the band for mental health reasons.
I feel crushed, but there are more important things in life and mental health is definitely one of them.
Farewell and take care, Meshida.
To the person who asked me about the translation of Tokyo: Sorry, I accidentally deleted your message.
But here’s a link to the translation:

What's your favorite album and why? Mine is Time :)
kbtg Said:
TIME is my favorite album as well. The songs are beyond great and well mixed. And the songs effortlessly flow into each other like with the transition from Ai ni Mamirette to Silhouette. This album just feels like a journey.

Why Kana Boon never even had a concert outside japan?
kbtg Said:
I honestly don’t know why they don’t go overseas more often. They have been to Taiwan and Hong Kong tho

Just a quick reply about Meshida's live replacement : the guy from Scenarioart is a f... great bass player. Thanks for the info!
kbtg Said:
Yeah, he really is. It’s odd without Meshida tho.

How big is the KANA-BOON community?
kbtg Said:
In Japan: fairly big, in the rest of the world: not so much (but it’s growing & songs like Silhouette are definitely helpful)

Hello, Do you know any infos about the live bassist currently playing for the band as Meshida's replacement ?
kbtg Said:
KANA-BOON’s temporary bassist is Scenarioart’s Takahisa Yamashita (for now). They have known each other for quite some time. KANA-BOON & Scenarioart released the split single talking / Nana Hitsuji in 2015.
