    Exercising a more polished sound than heard on their debut Intro Bonito, which felt somewhat dinky by design--it was often centered around decisively hollow chiptune-inspired arrangements--Bonito Generation is its own self-reflective hit parade carrying with it five pre-album singles and the potential for at least a few more.

    Bonito Generation is likely to be the most fun album you’ll hear all year. The production is disarmingly joyous and, thanks to a predilection for early ‘90s dance, some of the tracks here are absolute bangers.

    It’s an album crammed full of massive singles; the musical equivalent of a table full of gaudy, delicious cupcakes. You know too much of it is probably bad for you, but you can’t help but diving in and sampling each and every one with relish.

    What you see is what you get with Kero Kero Bonito. Instant sugar rush pop with extra icing on top, they’ve perfected the quick fix formula.

    Packed with breezy, witty, should-be hits, Bonito Generation is a winning mix of subversive art and genuine heart.

    To fully enjoy Bonito Graduation, view it through its own inquisitive outlook, and to not be daunted by the fact some of it won’t be understandable to you.

    Their songs are best when they stop being so satirically cutesy and zip somewhere else.

This is amazing, the lyrics make me feel just like when I used to doodie my pants and beg my mom for candies. 10/10 Expand

BG has a core theme of staying youthful, shown in the lyrics and instrumentals. The sound can get redundant, however it is a sound worth indulging in. Expand

It's just so upbeat and sweet, makes you forget all your problems until you just want to dance. The tunes are catchy, the lyrics cute, funny and innocent. While it is a a very bubblegum flavored pop record the production is very clean and tight. It reminded me a bit of Sam and the Womp, whom I love. It's a blast full of charm. Expand
