 Mangamaniacs Review: Short Program by Mitsuru Adachi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The brevity of the tales reflects the restraint of Adachi's storytelling style, and the situations are set up and resolved with an economy that doesn't allow any dilution of their impact.

 Hawaii Supreme Court Case No. 25894   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)

The tone of the essay is "informal/humble": Adachi uses the male, informal pseudopronoun "boku" to refer to himself, and also, at least in the first few paragraphs, the humble form of verbs ("oru" instead of "iru").

 Detailed Reviews [Adachi Kyodai - 2003 - "Adachi Kyodai"] - ProgressoR
These Japanese men are real contemporary minstrels or the acoustic guitar heroes, which should be more precise due to the fact that there are only four songs on their first album.
Source Adachi, who plays most of the soloing parts here, is a rare (just fantastic!) virtuoso, and his compositional talents are also outstanding.
"Adachi Kyodai" is a must have for all the lovers of classic 'acoustically driven' guitar Art-Rock, at least, and if there were a bit lesser of tributary pieces on this album, I would have certainly rated it as a masterpiece.
