The Sex Machineguns started in 1996 as a low-popularity Indie group, touring live houses and clubs. Their name is intentionally similar to that of the Sex Pistols and, according to the band, “implying that [we] machineguns are more radical than [the] pistols”. They gained a large fanbase quickly, and sold out their shows. They went on tour, and spread their popularity all over Japan. Once they got back home to release their first video and live CD in Spring of 1997, they had developed such a fanbase that the first press of the video sold out instantly, to all parts of Japan from Okinawa to Hokkaidō.
In 1998, the Sex Machineguns made their commercial debut with the release of their first single on Toshiba-EMI Records. the single sold out all over Japan instantly, and it was decided they would go on a debut tour (which sold out completely in every location). Magazines began to run articles, and the single sold steadily, skyrocketing the band’s popularity. In September they released their first album, which was another huge hit. They went on many tours, all selling out, and topped the singles charts all over Japan. As 1998 came to a close, the Sex Machineguns had topped the charts, and played 62 concerts (all sold out).
The bands frontman announced that the band would be taking a ‘activity pause’ on the 20th March 2006 All members except for Anchang have left the band (whether or not this is permanent is not mentioned) and formed a new band/side-project called Elleguns, which released a 6-track instrumental.
As of December 2006, Circuit. V.Panther, Samurai. W.Kenjilaw, and Speed Star Sypan Joe have started a new band known as “Cycle”.
Anchang released his second solo album, entitled “Memphis” on February 21, 2007. This album is the follow up to his first solo album entitled “The Maintenance” (released January 28, 2004), which was released under the name “Sex Machinegun”. This short section requires expansion.

Thoughts:
Ok , so it starts off with a mild Chinese feel to it. At first I was like “oh boy Anchangs humor is still around”. I knew this song was going to be awesome to begin with , but I didn’t know how awesome. It’s great. It has the drving ryhthm of Aijin 28 , JUNK FOOD and OPERATION TIGER. I’m so glad the new members seem to be doing well. Anchang does pick really good members each time SMG has been reformed ( This is the 5th SMG to date ). I always miss the last members , but the new ones have their own qualities I like about them too. This single shows that SMG is back and ready to rock. I can’t wait.
This single is avaible to buy only on the JP itunes store , JP.LISTEN , and ANCHANGS personal website. Hope you enjoy it. As always leave a comment below and I will reply with the password to download the track and you can judge for yourself.

If you can guess what they are spoofing , it makes the video 3xs more funny.
Oh yeah , you can thank GEWALT for being a general troll on tonberry for the link being removed before the 24 hours I normally let a post sit on there.
