The Brilliant Green is a powerhouse pop rock band formed in 1997, and one of the first bands that hooked me on Japanese rock. With half of their songs in English, the band has had decent crossover appeal, even being named by Time magazine as one of the top ten contemporary acts outside of the U.S. in 2001.

While fairly inactive over the last few years while their members focused more on solo projects (like vocalist’s Tomoko Kawase’s popular Tommy February6), there’s currently talk of a new album being released soon consisting of previously unrecorded material over the last decade.
