Hometown (ホームタウン, Hōmutaun) is the ninth studio album by the Japanese rock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation, released on December 5, 2018.[1] The album was released as a regular and a limited edition, the latter containing the Can't Sleep EP as well as a bonus DVD. Prior to the album's release, it was publicly available to stream for 48 hours.[2]

Release

The album was released on 5 December 2018 in Japan. The album was also available as a limited edition that included an EP titled Can't Sleep. According to Gotoh, the EP tracks were released separately from the album due to concerns over pricing and length.[3]

Two songs from the album were used as theme songs, "Kōya o Aruke" for the anime film Night Is Short, Walk On Girl and "Hometown" for the drama series Cheers to Miki Clinic, while "Sleep" from the Can't Sleep EP was featured in the film Startup Girls. To promote the album, the band announced a nationwide tour in Japan set for March to July 2019.[4] The final concert of the tour at Pacifico Yokohama was released on live video Eizo Sakuhin Shu 15. They also toured in London and Paris alongside two additional concerts in London as opening act for Feeder in November 2019.[5][6]
