KODOMO BAND the best of kodomo band C20A0323

This entry spotlights an essential compilation from the high-energy Japanese rock ‘n’ roll band, Kodomo Band. We are looking at “The Best Of Kodomo Band,” released in March 1984 on the See･Saw label (Canyon Records) with the catalog number C20A0323. This particular copy includes the original obi strip.

This 12-inch vinyl LP, released as a limited edition, serves as a perfect summary of the band’s explosive early career on the label. It gathers ten signature tracks from their initial run, including high-octane anthems like “あんたはまだまだ子供だよ” (Children Band’s Summertime Blues), “Tokyoダイナマイト” (Tokyo Dynamite), “Dreamin’（シーサイド・ドライブ）” (Seaside Drive), and “ロックンロール・フーチークー” (Rock’n Roll Hoochie Koo).

This album perfectly captures Kodomo Band’s unique, frantic blend of punk energy and pop-rock catchiness that defined their influential early 80s sound. For anyone wanting a concise collection of their peak See･Saw era, C20A0323 is an ideal release.
