THE FIRST TAKE
IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE.

Episode 491 features the first appearance of The BONEZ, an alternative progressive band bursting with punk spirit, at THE FIRST TAKE.
They will perform “Straight Up feat. KJ,” a track from the match-up project by The BONEZ and Dragon Ash, 2 of the greatest acts from the Japanese rock scene.
With music by T$UYO$HI, the bassist of both bands and the main instigator behind this project, and lyrics by JESSE and KJ, the title “Straight Up” symbolizes the importance of being open and honest with each other. It reflects on the journey both bands have taken, their sentiments for friends they have lost and their continued resolve to forge new paths into the future.
Enjoy this extraordinary one-shot performance where all members of The BONES and Dragon Ash come together in an exciting collision of sound and spirit as they perform this track for the first time on any media platform, exclusively on THE FIRST TAKE.
