Does anybody here listen to them? I started listening to them last year when I first watched Bleach; the opening song was so catchy! Now I'm pretty familiar with the band, but I'm not sure if any of there CD's have hit U.S. shelfs

Yes they are one of my favorite bands. I love their song "O2" from Code Geass R2. Sadly, none of their albums have been released in the U.S. *sniffle*. Crying or Very sad

I consider MusiQ to be their best album. I was listening to that one a lot around the time I was getting ready to graduate from high school, so Orange Range does carry some nostalgic memories for me.

^ Ah yeah... "MusiQ" is the only album of theirs which I've picked up. I only hunted it down on account of the song "Zung Zung Funky Music" which I first got acquainted with via the video for the song. Interestingly enough, no one from the group is shown in the video...or so I was told. "Shanghai Honey" I came across when I found a karaoke video someone had uploaded(?). The actual PV is a lot more interesting.

Oh yeah...In the "Fun with mispronounced English" department they're the hands down front runner with their song "City Boy".

Yeah a lot of people like that song. I agree that it's awesome, but I'd have to say my favorite of all time is still Asterisk from Bleach's first opening.

Like the others I also like O2 from Code Geass, and that's how I found out about them. I have to say though that I started to really like them when I saw their wacky music video for "Oshare Banchou" - they seem like a hilarious bunch Laughing

I'm not a huge fan of them, however I'm always interested when they make a new release. "*~Asterisk~" is the only song I can say I really like from them, but judging from the comments thus far, I'm much less familiar with their music than I'd like to be. Nonetheless, love the Bleach OP, reminds me of when YTV were bringing worthwhile anime on Canadian television.

Yea, their a pretty good band. Most of the songs I've heard from them are from Anime(i.e. Bleach,Code Geass) But I heard a few other ones from seeing their performances. They pretty much rock. "02'''s PV had that feudal Japan setting to it and "Asterisk" was just so hip and awesome(song and video). "Shiawase Neiro", another song of theirs used as a Code Geass theme song, was excellent as well, it had a slower mood and melody.

I like "Asterisk" from Bleach but that's about it I think.
