Oct 28, 2016Exercising 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.

Nov 2, 2016It’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.

Feb 6, 2019Packed with breezy, witty, should-be hits, Bonito Generation is a winning mix of subversive art and genuine heart.

Oct 27, 2016What 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.
-
Oct 27, 2016To 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.

Oct 27, 2016Their songs are best when they stop being so satirically cutesy and zip somewhere else.
