Abingdon Boys School (or simply a.b.s.) is a semi-well-known band that formed in 2005. Their very famous lead, Takanori Mishikawa aka TM Revolution, caused the band to gain familiarity in Japan. Their first and only CD, which is self-titled, fuses the many genres of pop, rock, hard rock and a small bit of rap, into a unique album that is all their own. Many people think that Japan has lost a lot of its “freshness” but this album is an easy disapproval of that!
Their first single, “INNOCENT SORROW,” gained popularity by being the first opening for the D.Gray-man anime. Since then some of their other songs have been featured in anime as well.
Their style of dress, usually blazers, button-down shirts, ties and kilts, is instantly recognizable. It is also interesting to note that their group name comes from the school where the popular band Radiohead was formed. The band also performed on the Japanese stage of the Live Earth concert that was held last year.
Below is their first single, “INNOCENT SORROW,” please enjoy!
