This is “ALL THE YOUNG NEED THEIR OWN SECRETS” by SURGELY AFRO, a rare Japanese independent rock album released in 2000.
SURGELY AFRO is remembered as the legendary early band featuring Tsuchiya Chikara, who later became the frontman of 6eyes and also established himself as a rapper. Because very few copies remain in circulation today, this release has become a highly sought-after collector’s item among fans of Japanese underground music.
The album captures the raw spirit of late-1990s alternative rock, noise rock, and post-punk. Rather than polished production, it delivers aggressive guitars, tense rhythms, and emotionally charged performances filled with DIY energy. Its rough, uncompromising sound represents the independent Japanese rock scene at the turn of the millennium.
Listening today, it offers valuable insight into the musical roots of Tsuchiya Chikara before his later work with 6eyes. The album contains eleven tracks, including mUD nINe, tURn IT ON, XhER, eLVIS, vIOLENT 5, tHANK yOU dELUX, dOMiNo, cANDY, sWEEt hONEY, hIGH sLeEP hIGH, and IS DEATH a STAR?
As interest in early Japanese underground bands continues to grow, original releases like this have become increasingly difficult to obtain. The original artwork and booklet further enhance its value as a collectible piece of Japan’s independent rock history.
Highly recommended for collectors of Japanese indie rock, alternative rock, noise rock, underground music, and fans looking to explore the origins of Tsuchiya Chikara and 6eyes.
