★Produced by Ryuichi Sakamoto
★First wave of Japanese Punk Rock scene
Friction is one of the first Japanese punk bands and formed by Reck, Chiko Hige and Lapis in Tokyo in March 1978, and now the band is still keeping active.
Reck and Chiko Hige had previously been on the NY no wave scene as founding members of James Chance and the Contortions, and brought back the experience
and influence to the Japanese music scene. It's no exaggeration to say that the band laid the foundation for alternative music in Japan.
"軋轢=Friction" is their 1st album released in 1980 which is also known as the only album in the period of Masatoshi Tsunematsu participating the band.
Produced by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
