Album from TPO front man Takumi. I personally love this album and there's really not a dull song on it.

This short-lived electropop/new wave band only released this album, but this band is notable for featuring members of Yapoos, TPO, Pizicatto Five and Shi-Shonen, it also has both a male and female vocalist so if you like anything like that this is for you.

Now listen. TsuShiMaMiRe is my favorite band. They really are. Good Charamel is a crap record label. They are trying, but not hard enough. There is no English CD release of the album, only digital. Same with GIVING BLOOD! Fuck that. Go import the album any way you can, don't download Good Charamel's copy. It really pisses me off that they are not getting proper support. So download the album, and like all others, if you like it, go BUY it! Support the best all girls band, no, the best band currently together in the world! By the way, this album fucking rules

Final album from the fantastic Chinatsu Kuzuu. It includes two re-worked/extended versions of songs from the  St. Agnes' Eve EP which is my favourite from her. You should definitely check her out if you've never heard of her before.

 Solid pop album, the first half is very good and flows really well. Second half is alright. Hosono produced.

I know I've been going a bit YMO crazy here but I just had to share another. I know this was part of the Yen Box set but I don't know how rare this is in Japan, but it's certainly very hard to find on the internet. I recently found this on a rapidshare search engine by chance, the filename was just YT, so I thought it was just one of his albums called "Mr Y.T." which I've read it's not one of his best albums. But to my surprise, it was this little gem.

It's a collection of rarities such as the original version of "Are you receiving me?" which I didn't even know existed, since I thought the remix on my version of "Tomorrow's just another day" was wrongly tagged. And live versions of songs and even has a live version of Hosono's Sports men, and YMO's key from one of his solo tours, since Hosono was a band member of his he sings them with the man himself. I can't credit the original uploader since there was no source. Don't let the artwork put you off and download this!

Great compilation of 80s girl bands and singers. Highlights on this one by far for me is Still's track, (which I've posted before as a bonus to their album) and chinatsu kuzuu's alternate version of Annabel Lee. Also features Virgin Rocks, Bárbara and ALI PROJECT among others.

Japanese Post-rock, most of their songs go into symphonic-metal territory, one of my favourite albums this. Vocalist Haitis Noit fronts the band with her amazing operatic vocals, along with their guitarist who contributes some what I can only classify as "screamo" backing vocals on one or two songs which I don't listen to a lot but they're tolerable for me here. I don't really use this word a lot but I'd describe this album as "epic". This is their second album, their first has almost no vocals but it's also enjoyable.

Dynamic and upbeat modern progressive rock/math rock. It's a really happy album and it's absolutely chaotic at some times... haven't heard anything like it before.
if you're wondering why the 28 minute long track has an included (Radio Edit) I think it's ironic
