"I'm Standing Here" is an early EP by Japanese rock band, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, released on November 30, 2001.

Background

Including their split mini-album with rock musician Caramelman, "I'm Still Standing Here" was the third and last independent EP the band recorded before releasing their major-label debut EP, "Hōkai Amplifier". In contrast to their previous indie releases, the band composed the songs featured on the mini-album mostly withJapanese lyrics. While the mini-album retained only one single, "Konayuki," it came to receive significant airplay on indie radio stations and a redone version was later included within the band's debut EP. Additionally, "E" would later be redone for their first full-length album, "Kimi Tsunagi Five M", while "Hold Me Tight" would be re-recorded for the single, "Kimi no Machi Made"," and included on their compilation album, "Feedback File".
