You can chart the rise of indie rock act Asian Kung-Fu Generation through the growth of their Nano-Mugen Fes., which in just two years mushroomed from a humble gig at Shinjuku Loft to a two-day mega-concert at Yokohama Arena. The fest offers a mix of Japanese and Western bands, with a strong bias for '90s guitar acts: the foreign guests this year include Fountains of Wayne, Suede and Feeder.
