Review

"Haruka, Haruka" is the second photo book that AKG has released. Those who purchased the first book should be quite pleased with this one. "Haruka, Haruka" contains a lot of similar features as well as some new additions. Like the previous book, this one includes dozens of photos and information about the various lives. One new improvement is that each section of live photos is labeled clearly in English, stating the place and date the performance took place. Another new feature is that they list AKG’s tracklist for every single performance from 2005 to late 2006. I found this especially cool because you can see what kind of songs AKG consistently plays, and which ones often get featured during encores.

Overall, I found the quality of this book to exceed that of the first. The quality of the pictures is very good and you’ll find some excellent close up shots of the band. In addition, the amount of information about the performances has increased as well. There are 30 pages devoted to the Re:Re tour, 22 pages for Count for My 8 Beat tour, and 85 pages for The Start of a New Season Tour! By far, this is a more complete documentary on AKG than their first book. Moreover, it has recieved excellent reviews from Japanese fans on Excite’s website! I was quite pleased with this book and I think any fan will be. So what are you waiting for? Order the book and support the band!
