Fukuoka recently ranked 14th in U.K. magazine Monocle's annual "Most Livable Cities Index." Alt-rock duo Band A are unsurprised their city fared so well.
"I love Fukuoka," proclaims guitarist and vocalist Kouhei Hara. "It's very easy to live a comfortable life here. People are kind and there are so many delicious types of food."
Hara and his band mate, guitarist Aiko Oka, have only one aversion to Fukuoka — its distance from the nation's capital, which finished fourth on the aforementioned list of top worldwide locales.
