Reception[edit]
With the LP, AKG fully realized and honed the upbeat tempo but hard-edged and emotionally charged sound first expressed within Hōkai Amplifier. The urgency of the songs were complemented by the balanced nature of the overall album, creating their most mature release as of late. Gotō credited this outcome as the result of sharing his songwriting duties more evenly with bandmates than ever before.[1] The album was equally praised for its high production quality, which thoroughly nullified the language barrier that frequently impeded non–Japanese speaking audiences.[2]
Upon its debut, the album topped the Oricon charts for two weeks straight and produced four singles, with sales reaching over 600,000 copies by its third week.[1] Its success can be partially traced to two tracks that the band produced, 'Rewrite' and 'Haruka Kanata,' were featured in the opening themes of the highly popular anime series Fullmetal Alchemist and Naruto respectively. In 2016, the 2016 version of Re:Re: was used as the opening for the anime Boku Dake ga Inai Machi. With the LP, AKG also finally succeeded in outreaching to international audiences, a goal they had attempted in earlier English indie releases but were met by little response[verification needed]. The album peaked at number three on the World Chart while 'Rewrite' went on to win Best Anime Theme Song at the 2007 American Anime Awards.[3][4] Following its domestic release, fans from around the world petitioned for Sol-fa to be distributed outside Japan. The support for Ajikan eventually resulted in Tofu Records striking a contract to release Sol-fa in the United States on October 18, 2005.[2]

'Siren' (サイレンSairen) is a song by Japaneserock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation. It was released as the lead single of their second full-length studio album, Sol-fa, on April 4, 2004. With the band's then-newly emerging popularity, the single managed to debut at number two on the Oricon charts. Although the song's B-side, 'Siren#,' shares a nearly identical title with the single, the two are somewhat different from each other. While both retain the same instrumental, the lyrics and melody of 'Siren#' are different from that of 'Siren.' In a sense, 'Siren#' can be considered a continuation or a remix of its A-side.[1]
Music video[edit]
The music video for 'Siren' and 'Siren#' were directed by Toshiaki Toyoda. The video presented a sweeping tour past a suspension bridge and through a city by translucent astral projections of the band (this concept is also used in Magic Disk music video). As the end of the song, Gotō walk toward the camera, put his hand in front of it and then he slowly disappeared. For Siren#, the video presented in the same way as Siren, but with different scenes. The Siren# video ends with Gotō followed by other members exit from film set.
