Ikimono Gakari - 10-03-2008, 02:00 PM

Ok so does anyone like em?

Admittedly, I only heard of them when they did the Bleach and Naruto Shippuuden openings and endings. I think some of their songs are really good including Blue Bird. (I got all their albums.)

Also, what does Ikimono Gakari mean? Is it a name?
Its not the name of any of the three band members.

So glad you asked...because it is a rare name for a band. Ikimono means 'life', 'living thing', etc. Kakari means a 'committee' in elementary and junior high schools in Japan. The Ikimono Gakari members are in charge of taking care of the small animals kept at the schools, which typically are chikens, birds, rabbits, carp, gold fish, etc. Just dunno the English term for it (or even whether schools keep animals in your country).

My favorite Ikimono Gakari song:

'Sakura'

Thank you for that explanation. Couldn't find it anywhere.
The song you mention is very nice. Its the first song from that album.

I like a few songs of theirs from LIFE ALBUM. Sadly I don't know the English translation of their names cos I can't read Kanji.. lol.

Track 4: 青春ライン
Track 5: @Miso Soup
Track 7: 花は桜 君は美し
Track 8: ちこくしちゃうよ and
Track 10: ニセモノ

are so far my favourites.



ps. they do have school animals in the UK and those kids are just called "monitors" or something similar. The name isn't poetic or anything like it seems to be in Japanese, just a Noun that reflects the logic of what the word is describing.

青春ライン = Youth Line (dunno what kinda line that is. lol)

花は桜 君は美し = Sakura is the flower and you are beautiful

ちこくしちゃうよ = I'm gonna be late (must be either for school or work)

ニセモノ = fake, counterfeit

Me too found Ikimono Gakari from Bleach ending "HANABI". I just loved it and so I looked for more of their songs and they rock!
