Commentary from the group:
Masafumi Gotoh (Vo&G)
In a world overflowing with more entertainment than anyone could ever experience in a lifetime, extending far beyond music or bands, I want to sincerely thank you for being here with ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION at this moment, our 30th anniversary, even if you can't be physically present.

Thirty years ago, and even for several years after that, our music barely reached anyone's ears. Knowing that there are people who now look forward to our music is an indescribable source of strength.

Even so, with every song we write, we try to meet someone new from scratch. And moving forward, I hope we can continue to meet you again and again, as equals, each time with a fresh mindset.

Thank you truly, from the bottom of my heart.

Kensuke Kita(Gt):
Some of you might be thinking, ‘These guys sure celebrate anniversaries a lot…’

But this time, it's our 30th anniversary.

Please allow us to do this one.

And if you hear us saying the same kind of thing again someday, just act like nothing happened and come celebrate with us.

Thank you always!

=====
Takahiro Yamada(B)
Over these thirty long years, we've gained a wide variety of musical experiences that have led the band to a steady and grounded place. There's no way we could continue this far on our own. Thank you truly for all your support.

We hope everyone enjoys our 30th anniversary year together with us!

=====
Kiyoshi Ijichi(Dr)
There were several moments where it felt like the band might stop, but we managed to continue for thirty years.

I don't feel dramatically different compared to our 25th anniversary, but there's one thing I can say with certainty: I'm having even more fun now than I was back then!

We'll keep making music while feeling grateful to everyone who has helped create this long story with us.
