A significant release marking a new phase for Kodomo Band is the focus for this entry. We are looking at their 1984 studio album, “Rock & Roll Will Never Die !!,” released on their own independent Kids Power Label with the catalog number 28SW-1002.
Issued on May 5, 1984, this 8-track, 12-inch vinyl LP was their first release after leaving the major label system. It was a bold, self-produced effort, famously recorded in the United States. This album is often hailed by fans as one of their most complete and cohesive works, channeling their signature high-energy rock ‘n’ roll into a more “orthodox” rock sound, often described as bright, positive, and American-influenced.
The album is packed with fan-favorites, including “Heart Break Kids,” “Crazy Turkey,” “Take Me To Your Party,” and the definitive title track.
Historically, this album is also crucial as it was the final release to feature the technical guitar work of “Tanihei,” a key member of their classic lineup, who departed soon after. As an independent release, it was originally sold by the band themselves at live venues, making it a nostalgic and cherished item for early supporters. 28SW-1002 captures the band’s pure rock spirit, refined into a high-quality, powerful rock album.
