nihongo|"World World World"|ワールド ワールド ワールド|Waarudo Waarudo Waarudo is the fifth studio album by Japanese rock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation, released on March 5, 2008. The album's lead single, "Aru Machi no Gunjō," was released on Novemer 2006, and after spending nearly the entirety of 2007 touring and performing at festivals, AKG ended the year with the release of its second single, "After Dark." The third and final single, "Korogaru Iwa, Kimi ni Asa ga Furu" was released a month prior to the album's drop. Despite the significant time-span between the releases, both the LP and all three singles were well recieved. [ [http://www.oricon.co.jp/music/release/d/750252/1/ Oricon Style] ] Alongside "World World World" debuting at number one on the Oricon chart, AKG was once more selected to produce the opening theme for yet another highly popular anime series, with "After Dark" being chosen as the seventh opening of "Bleach".
