Sep 4, 2008 - Soul Flower Mononoke Summit is my favorite band, period. Thank you so much for posting this video, it really gives me an insight to how they perform and just how caring they are. I may not be able to understand any Japanese, but I think their music sounds so uplifting and energetic... I actully have all 3 Mononoke Summit CDs :)
