Hello!
Some quick good news! Cellophane's ENTIRE discography has been made available on streaming services! Bizarrely, not all albums are listed under the same band name, but you can find them all through this link:

igosugoroku.com/subscription/

As such, I have taken my uploads of their music down. Hope this announcement helps people support them officially!

P.S.: I've also been made aware some of my other uploads already have official releases on streaming platforms (citrobal, soulsberry, plane) so I have removed those too.

Hello,

Today's upload of Rocky Chack's excellent second album, "Every Day", will be the last for some time as I find myself busy at the moment. Regardless, this album is a supremely good listen, and features Ishizaka Yoshiharu from advantage Lucy in some tracks. I also recommend seeking out their first album, "Smash Water People", which is equally amazing.

Hope I can come back soon with more great music.

Cheers.

I want to bring this video to any honeydip fan's attention because, as far my search goes, this is the only live performance of "evening calm" on the internet, and it's lovely. And, as a reminder, they'll be performing in November; if you're lucky enough to attend, know that I deeply envy you lol

Hello,
Sorry for the prolonged absence. I was trying to upload weekly every Friday but life soon caught up with me and I have been quite busy since. To make up for it, this week I have a double feature:

The first one is Debonnaire's second album, "Tangled Up". They are a lesser known neo-acoustic band, and apparently, " the oldest neo-acoustic band in Japan", from the same time as Penny Arcade, Lollipop Sonic, etc....They're quite good, and I hope to get their first album soon to upload over here.

The second upload is on my second channel. It's "Teenagers Film Their Own Life", by an italian band called Valvola. I stumbled upon this release recently and liked it so much, but wasn't sure if it was appropriate to upload it here, so I left it over there. I might do the same for future non-japanese music uploads.

I'll try to upload as regularly as I can, as the backlog continues to grow (which is good!).

Cheers.

Hopefully it's available in your country too. I really wish these albums were reissued...

I've continued playing with the AI instrument splitter and, this time, used it to create two mixes of Round Table's "Timeless", from their amazing and very dear to me album "Cannon Ball". Check them out if you like!

Today's upload is the first album by Pate, the solo project of legendary Noboyuki Oohashi, previously a member of the equally legendary Bridge. Great collection of songs, with some of them featuring hàl on backing vocals. Enjoy!

Hello!
One of the two strikes the channel currently has is about to expire. I feel like this is a good time to resume uploading. Consider subscribing to my second channel in case the fun police strikes again:

Interesting things happening at the playlist section over there.
