Friction
Friction (Japanese: フリクション, Hepburn: Frikushon) is a Japanese rock band formed in 1978. They originally began in 1971 under the name Maru Sankaku Shikaku (○△□（まるさんかくしかく）), and are considered to be one of the pioneers of Japan's alternative rock scene. The group ended activities in 1996, but original member Reck reformed Friction in 2006 as a duo with drummer Tatsuya Nakamura.
In September 2007, Rolling Stone Japan rated their debut album Atsureki at #21 on its list of the "100 Greatest Japanese Rock Albums of All Time".
