Kero Kero Bonito – Bonito Generation (Blue Vinyl)

Kero Kero Bonito’s debut album, “Bonito Generation,” is a vibrant blend of electropop, J-pop, and synth-pop, drawing influences from various genres like video game music, 90s dance, and even hip-hop and K-pop. The music is full of energy and catchy hooks, reminiscent of artists like PC Music and Sophie.

Lyrically, the album explores themes relevant to young people, like the ever-present influence of social media (“Instagram”), the power of a catchy tune (“Heard a Song”), and the simple joys of youth (“Trampoline”). Through a childlike lens, the album also touches on existential questions and the curiosity that comes with growing up. “Bonito Generation” is a playful and energetic record that captures the spirit of youth and the wonder of everyday experiences.
