Friction is one of the first Japanese punk bands and formed by Reck, Chiko Hige and Lapis in Tokyo in March 1978. Reck and Chiko Hige had previously been part of the NY No Wave scene as founding members of James Chance and the Contortions, and brought back the experience and influence to the Japanese music scene. It's no exaggeration to say that the band laid the foundation for alternative music in Japan.

This is their 1st album originally released in 1980 which is also known as the only album with Masatoshi Tsunematsu as part of the band. 

Produced by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
