That's what I call a balanced group ^^

wow! thanks for the info..
i din know that a few of them are covers except for sotsugyo shashin...

they sure composed & wrote beautiful songs
I thought kiyoe wrote the songs too

Wow very comprehensive! thanks it'll provide my list..

I still don't have all their songs!

That's what I love about Ikimono Gakari, Top notch songwriting, and Kiyoe's voice is golden! very beautiful!

most band s in the world usually write their own songs (i am talking about REAL bands not those sick boy/girl bands) and i can see no different in IKI too....and i believe they will churn more exciting and interesting songs out....

two things a learned watching Top Runner

- Yamashita composes the baladas / Mizuho does the upbeat songs

- Yamashita writes a song in 30 minuntes / Mizuno keeps on working a song during 30 days...

Wow, Terrific info!

Go Mizuho!

too late for the post...yeah they do

seems like mizuno wrote songs better than hota-san
but it's doesn't change my respect to hotaka, because he makes ikimono music more unique......
