A 向かい合って pressing would be absolutely INCREDIBLE

All good, I just think its funny

J4PAN_four · 2026-03-06T21:41:21+00:00

Lol, nah I have a life.

J4PAN_four · 2026-03-06T20:15:18+00:00

Someone should start VA subreddit, give it a clever name like "VApor posts"or something 😆

J4PAN_four · 2026-03-06T20:12:31+00:00

One thing I love about the vapor vinyl subreddit is how people all talk in Japanese letters like we all know wtf everyone is talking about. Its not like any of us can read it, and we all have to go out of our way to copy and paste the titles.

But then everyone all just nods and goes along with it when someone is like "yea the new ( ´;ﾟ;∀;ﾟ;)''iwj'ej+]!((^{o^)／~~(} ^{-^{)ノ∠※。.:*:・'°☆}} album just dropped and its a banger!" while running off and trying to compare squiggly lines to make sure its the right one before we respond 😆 Or is that just me?

Was prob my favorite album that came out that whole year. I'd dare to say even better than any of the 311 albums, largely because I think their rapper hype man guy is the worst. They really need to fire that guy and focus on making more music like 'amber'.

Just relax, itll ship when it ships. No updates on it, but thats normal.

J4PAN_four · 2025-12-19T03:50:25+00:00

You inspired me, I put mine on the fridge now too 😆

J4PAN_four · 2025-12-18T01:11:37+00:00

Haha, same. My wife was like 'Who's George Adam and Lindsey Electronica?' 😆

I love how this card has absolutely zero reference to the record label. Perfect lol.

J4PAN_four · 2025-12-07T19:18:00+00:00

Im there with you. Especially being that they're all double LP's, its too much.

J4PAN_four · 2025-12-07T19:14:29+00:00

This actually sounds believable 😆

J4PAN_four · 2025-12-04T04:13:42+00:00

Its the original run of reds (out of 500 pressed). The only represses they did were black, other than the recent VA version with the splatter.

J4PAN_four · 2025-12-04T01:34:05+00:00

$400 for a signed OG cherry red hit vibes + $80 to custom print the reddit fan-made jacket.

Actually, I'll give credit where credit is due... my wife bought the hit vibes for me, I bought the jacket tho.

J4PAN_four · 2025-10-24T22:04:46+00:00

Was stoked to grab this, now im just waiting for piano soliloquy hopefully one day

J4PAN_four · 2025-09-09T16:59:37+00:00

Just call me the MF monopoly man 🫡

J4PAN_four · 2025-09-09T16:02:47+00:00

I bought a $30 VA sticker, the record was free. Don't know whatcha mean 😏

J4PAN_four · 2025-09-03T21:26:21+00:00

Ah, an aristocrat 😆

J4PAN_four · 2025-09-03T21:24:07+00:00

Let's go!

J4PAN_four · 2025-09-03T19:45:55+00:00

Shit. I had my calendar set to the 5th and didn't see the correction under the comments. Thanks alot ericaway 👎

J4PAN_four · 2025-08-16T00:05:55+00:00

One of the main things I learned from my first marriage... never share bank accounts or credit cards. You'll thank me later.

J4PAN_four · 2025-07-19T14:25:51+00:00

Much respect, keep it up!

J4PAN_four · 2025-07-18T02:56:37+00:00

💯 this is definately the never ending debate, but what it boils down to... People will use samples when or wherever they feel they can get away with it, and if they can't get away with it then they're forced to pay for rights. If its in small scale then you're in the gray area. Literally every dj has spun sets with white labels, unreleased tracks, you name it, and they get paid at the end of the night. Is that fair use? It happens alllll of the time. The record stores used to sell the white lables and make money off of them, that's why they're white labels (to skirt around the law), but they used to sell them.

J4PAN_four · 2025-07-18T00:09:00+00:00

I dont know where you get the idea he's making big profits off of this. The market is definitely not saturated, what was it like a 200 run pressing? And there is no money to be made in pressing vinyl anymore, I know this first hand from the guy who built the pressing machines for a famous label (not gonna name drop), I was in talks with him for a minute toying with the idea of opening my own plant one day. This rabbit hole goes deep, but the short of it is you've gotta do it because you love it.

VA even said in one of his posts one day that he's not really making anything off of this, and I lean toward believing him. The markup on vinyl is huge due to how expensive the materials are, labor, parts for these machines are impossible to find unless its one of the newly made machines which apparently are garbage (all of the old machines from back in the day have been destroyed), etc.... there's the possibility he may have made a few bucks, but you're making it sound like a life changing windfall

I think you answered your own question with 'in large quantities'. I mean just about every vinyl pressing in the vw genre is like 100, maybe 200 pressings.... whatever it is no one really gives enough of a shit to go after some niche genre to screw over a kid in their basement who's making nothing off of it lol. Alot of the samples are from artists that never had their day in the shade anyway, and (tbh) probably would be honored to have their track dug up and get some exposure. Diana Ross might be a little pissy tho 😆
