here, AKFuG fans can just talk about the group and overall topics relating to them. i'll start off by stating that everyone in the band is 29-years-old, except for masafumi-sama. he's 30 and he's the hottest person.
moving on, the song that sparked my intrest in them was the 4th opening song of FMA.

The band was first formed in 1996, the original members were Kensuke Kita (guitar, vocals), Hideyo Yamada (bass, vocals), and Masafumi Goto (vocal, guitar), Kiyoshi Ichiji (drums) would join the band a little later on. The members were just getting out of university at the time of forming the band. They played many small venues for a time until they released their first EP - a six-song album of English covers that was independently put onto the market. Later that year the band tried to get their first Japanese single, Konayuki, onto indie radio shows. The song was eventually picked up by a popular radio DJ and put into heavy rotation due to demand of the listeners. The band then spent the rest of the year writing and recording songs for their second album, Houkai Amplifer. The album received immense critical acclaim and this was backed up with the sales of the album, reaching 36 on the Oricon charts.
In 2003 the band would release two singles, Kimi to Iu Hana and Mirai no Kakera, which would catapult them to fame. Their first full album, Kimi Tsunagi Five M, sold over 25,000 copies and landed in the number 5 spot on the Oricon charts in its first week. The rest of the year would go rather well for the band as they played concerts and small shows. As their fame grew, fans began calling them simply アジカン (ajikan not AKFuG), which is a shortened version of their full name.
