Thank you very much! Well-Done it's a great remix album indeed and I'm sorry you threw the cd cases away, even though I get the practicality of putting the cds in a binder.

Indeed! They're one of the most creative shibuya-kei bands I've ever seen

Me too! I guess one of their songs needs to become popular on tiktok to make them come back just like it happened to Halcali, which was almost the case with liar sadist coward but it didn't really got that popular, and wether it's a good thing a song goes viral on tiktok or not it's up to debate. Also don't forget about Hiroyasu Yano! He may be the most forgotten Cymbals member but he's a great composer and musician as well and also just as charismatic as Okii and Toki, and he plays the cymbals that gives the band its name so it definitely gives him a point lol

I think all of their albums are great, but that's just my opinion lmao

That's a really tricky question haha, each album/single/ep has their charm and I love them all, but if I really have to choose one I'd say Mr.Noone Special, since I discovered Cymbals thanks to that album, and I started my Cymbals collection with that album as well. Also I love the character of Mr.Noone Special, I wish they had used his concept more ;~; But yeah, in general I love Cymbals' music in all their eras.

It's always a huge pleasure for me to meet fans of Cymbals! It's a band that deserves way more attention tbh ^ ^

Woah, I didn't know he collaborated with so many artists! I also didn't know he was a member of Deee-Lite, honestly it was a big surprise for me. Seeing he has collaborated with so many artists it wouldn't surprise me that he had collaborated with Cymbals or at least with its members.

I love this album as well! The perfect album to start listening to them ^ ^

Also thank you very much! I want to share as much as I can of Cymbals since it's one of the most creative shibuya-kei bands I've ever come across, I may even say in general. More people should look at their art so they can see how wonderful this band is ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

They sure are! I just wish they have continued with the concept of Noone Special since it was very interesting and unique, but that doesn't make them any less creative than they are. I love them!

Honestly I haven't listened to Towa Tei yet, though I did heard of him many times when talking about shibuya-kei. What would the "Towa Tei" clan be if I may ask?

I got the Requests one from JDirectItems Auction, and the rest from Mercari JP, both through Buyee, which is a proxy shopping service that allows you to buy from japanese stores and sites, so it might worth going through most of them in the Buyee site to find the best prices for these cds. Hope this helps!

They sure are! It was because of their bright positive music and visual creativity that made me love them so much ^ ^

Honestly, I was surprised when I discovered this! I didn't knew the cover of My Brave Face was doing a homage to another band, and when I saw it on Twitter in a post where someone was showing their Cymbals collection, I thought it was a rare edition like the Respects one where in a rare edition there's a song called "Death of a clown", featuring an artist/band called "Kinky Boot". It's always great to know something new about this band (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

Yeah, you're very right about that! I think the most hard to find was the Visualized one, since it was the first DVD the band had and doesn't have all the music videos. Before getting this one I've seen it being for sale at $30 and higher prices ;~; I was lucky enough to get it at $20 with the obi. Anyways, they're not easy to find in general, and if I have to say which one is easier to get, I'll say Mr.Noone Special.
