The Back Horn is a Japanese rock band originally formed in 1998 with a current lineup featuring Yamada Masashi on vocals, Suganami Eijun on guitar, Matsuda Shinji on drums, and Okamine Koushu on bass. 'Headphone Children' is their 4th major label studio album, released on 03.16.2005 on the Victor Records label. It contains the singles 'Yume no Hana', 'Cobalt Blue', and 'KIZUNA song' as well as the full track-listing below. If you like Japanese rock music then the Back Horn should definitely be up your alley. They're not as well known stateside as bands like X Japan, Dir en Grey, the GazettE, Glay, etc., but they're every bit as good and this is probably their strongest album front to back. My personal favorite is the opening track 'Tobira', but again it's a very strong set throughout and probably the best CD to start with to check out their work. Happy listening.


Track List:
1. Tobira
2. Unmei Fukuzatsukossetsu
3. Cobalt Blue
4. Boseki Fever
5. Yume no Hana
6. Tabibito
7. Pappara
8. Shanghai Rhapsody
