Osaka Ramones is Japanese
pop-punk group
Shonen Knife's 16th
studio album. All of the songs on the album are
cover songs of the punk group
Ramones.[1] The album's cover art takes its inspiration from the Ramones album Road to Ruin. Five songs on the album were recorded in at
GCR Audio in Buffalo, New York with Producer
Robby Takac[2] in late 2010 and it was intended to be a
mini-album. Lead singer/guitarist/songwriter
Naoko Yamano later decided that Osaka Ramones would be a full-length album celebrating Shonen Knife's 30th anniversary. The rest of the album was later recorded in Osaka, Japan and mixed at
GCR Audio.[3]
