I love SFP's music + Yumi's vocals. I’m happy that they’re with a major label now, and I wonder what kind of stuff they'll be releasing if they do come out with a new album this year since they're always experimenting. I still think that their first two mini-albums were beyond awesome, most songs less poppy than the new single.

School Food Punishment to perform at Japan Expo 2009 in Paris, France (July 2-5) on July 4th. Other artists to perform: AKB48, Puffy, TRILL-DAN, Ra:IN, Yui Makino and SUNS OWL.

QUOTE

After releasing three indie mini-albums, the band comes back with a new single, Futuristic Imagination which will go on sale soon. Their performance at JE Live House stage, spearhead of young Japanese artists, will be a good starting point for the beginning of their European career to introduce them to the French audience.

New Single butterfly swimmer from school food punishment

Despite the release of their major debut single futuristic imagination on May 27th, school food punishment have already planned the release of a new single for July 22nd. butterfly swimmer, which is being used as the CM song for "Helthya Sparkling", will feature three songs, including title-track and the b-side beer trip, and its first press will also come with a special sticker.

On a side note, the songs feedback and Futari umi no soko, both released in their third mini-album Riff-rain, have been chosen as the opening and ending theme, respectively, for the BS-i drama "Joshidaisei kaikeishi no jikenbo".

what I like about them is their music.
but what turns me off is the vocal, listening to school food is good food album made me realize, yumi cannot sing.
but I guess their song are hard to sing.

I really like their music, I discovered them a while ago, my fave song is futuristic imagination, I was really hooked on that one

hmm, never have I thought that Yumi couldn't sing. She might not be the best singer out there, but I think her voice definitely suits the music that SFP makes
