As mentionned in the title, "Landmark" (ランドマーク) is a landmark for both Japan and the band. Composed right after the Fukushima's disaster that shoke Japan and the world (and still continues), Masafumi Gotoh began to be fully engaged and started to fight against Nuclear Power Stations and energy, but also against Japanese government, with the song "N2" inviting everyone to search the truth and doubt.
The simplicity and normal behaviour make Asian Kung-Fu Generation different from others Japanese bands. Their appearance on television is scarce and they are more concerned about their works than their image. Since the Fukushima's nuclear disaster, Asian Kung-Fu Generation is involved in favour of the definitive nuclear power stations shut down. Despite an agreement made with Ki/oon Records (Sony), the whole Asian Kung-Fu Generation's discography is financed by the band itself, allowing them to be musically independent towards the label.
