This single is what got me to try out his other stuff, but I should have started long before this single (the debut of his solo career) came out.
If you think his solo career is really something, just wait until you try one of the many bands he wrote 98% of the music for. Blankey Jet City, SHERBETS, JUDE, AJICO - these are all his bands, and there's more compositions between them all than what any one listener knows what to do with. Between his solo career and all his bands, Asai Kenichi already has somewhere around 35 albums, and in the time it takes you to get comfortably familiar with a small handful of them - he has already released another one. You could start exploring his material today and not even be fully up-to-speed in a year from now.
