The best albums of 2023 reported by Asian Kung-Fu Generation members

On Christmas day, as usual, the band members shared the albums they thought were the best in the passing year.

Masafumi Gotoh

I didn’t have time to sit through the entire album for a year. Still, it was difficult to narrow those down to 10. His selection of Western music shows his hobbies. As a fan, I enjoyed listening to cero and Natsume’s wonderful works – they were amazing and cool. There will come a time when BGM will be created by AI. However, I’m not the kind of person who enjoys music as background music, so I’m interested in the person and what kind of sound they want to make. When it comes to music, it doesn’t matter. Of course, it’s also about what kind of sound I want to make.
