In addition, the members of ComplianS have shared comments about the release:


Vocalist and guitarist Taiji Sato commented:

"Finally out!! Hot topic funk duo ComplianS new album GLOBAL COMPLIANCE... What do you think? It's a good title in a broad sense, isn't it? It's a good laugh that I and KenKen are ComplianS, isn’t it? I really think this kind of witty sense of humour is needed for Japanese people these days. KenKen and I hit it off immediately at our first meeting, so I don't remember at all which one was the first one actually. But I'm sure we started functioning with each other as partners when he played drums and bass on my solo album My Hero. Not so many people are in the same 'groove' when I play. So it was very natural for us to form a duo.

We, ComplianS, want to 'FUNK' properly. There aren't many people who can FUNK as much as possible. No one will complain if it's me and KenKen! We want to be the No.1 FUNK DUO!! We want you dance at live venues! Music, especially FUNK, can bring everyone together! 'No.1' is the most important motto for me and KenKen.

Come see us live and feel our motto!"


Bassist and vocalist KenKen commented:

"ComplianS is Shit!"
