A Heartfelt Thank You: Earthshaker’s ‘Arigatou Kimini’ EP (K12P580)
Today we revisit Japanese hard rock legends Earthshaker, focusing on a special release from their incredibly productive mid-80s period. This is the 12-inch mini-album/EP titled “Arigatou Kimini” (ありがとう君に – Thank You, To You), released on the Nexus label (King Records) with the catalog number K12P580.
Issued in 1985, this 45 RPM vinyl arrived between their major studio albums “Passion” and “Overrun.” EPs like this often served to bridge the gap between full-length releases, offering fans new material or highlighting specific songs. This release features four tracks, including the poignant title track.
“Arigatou Kimini” showcases Earthshaker’s renowned melodic sensibilities. While known for their powerful hard rock sound, the band always possessed a remarkable ability to craft emotive and memorable melodies. This EP likely leans into that strength, delivering heartfelt rock anthems driven by soulful vocals and expressive guitar work, all supported by their consistently tight rhythm section.
K12P580 represents a special offering from Earthshaker during their peak era. For fans and collectors, it’s a valuable snapshot capturing the band’s melodic prowess and providing essential tracks from their classic period.
