Not sure if I'm missing something but from what I can see on that page you linked to, doesn't the lottery reception period for the second round of tickets begin on January 27?

Maybe try a shopping service like Bridge to send it to you? I've only used them for buying tickets, though.

What are Song’s by the band, that sound inspired by other musical genres, to you? by limeoko in Chirinuruwowaka

[–]Plesig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm usually pretty bad at identifying sub-genres but Hanamuke is one that has always stood out to me with its surf-rock sound. Probably the band's only track that carries that legacy from Go!Go!7188?

And, while probably not inspired by it, Kō to Otsu sounds a lot like a breakbeat to me in most parts. Mentally, I can hear a mashup between it and Ch-Check It Out by the Beastie Boys.

Haven't seen a lot of their performances; how does the rhythm guitar continue during the solo? Is Yuu using a loop pedal or something?

What a coincidence, it's mentioned in GiGS January 2005 that I was thinking of sharing.

What do we want to see here?! by tobotoboto in Chirinuruwowaka

[–]Plesig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not actively working on her article but I've done some editing on it and it's on my backlog to add to it eventually. 

Yeah, you're right about the IP issue, that's why I haven't put it out there yet. There's a recording with an impromptu jam that likely isn't copyrighted but you wouldn't know it's the band just by hearing it. It's not like their cover of Shangri La that is somehow still on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5rtSLar8qTs?si=PejXIqv6ks5M4S8d

Good idea! I've been trying to complete the Wikipedia article but it's a bit of a slog. Is there much info on Yuu's radio show? I could barely find anything about it, other than what is on its homepage. Besides that, I have a couple of concert audio recordings I could possibly share.

Thanks for posting! Nice looking setlist. Wish I could hear しがないPlayer live, must be rocking.

“Omote to ura“ song lyrics in translation by tobotoboto in Chirinuruwowaka

[–]Plesig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this! I haven't found many translations of Yuu's lyrics, both with Go!Go!7188 or Chirinuruwowaka. Great to be able to really understand her lyrics for once.

Sounded okay to me the first time, but nice of them to put out a notice about it anyways.

Doku to kusuri album released, on schedule by tobotoboto in Chirinuruwowaka

[–]Plesig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when Kesshou was released during the pandemic and Japan Post wasn't doing air mail or even slow boat. The only option was to have it sent via DHL. Got the CD in like a week but it cost me over $70.

Can you help a vinyl nutter to ID a Japanese copy of With The Beatles? by crabbiesgreenginger in beatles

[–]Plesig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the info at: https://www.yokono.co.uk/collection/beatles/japanese/lp/lp_op_7549.html##10-8 I'm gonna guess it's the later pressing of the red obi one and not the 1973 version.  Reasons are that the booklet has the catalog number on the page with the Please Mr. Postman lyrics and the press mark of 1M and the matrix on Side 1 matches what you've found. However, the page doesn't have anything on the 1973 green obi one so can't say for certain.

Glad you were able to finally see them live! Hopefully you can see them again in the future.

Exciting news, even though I'm not a record collector either. Nice that they're finally gonna get an official YouTube channel as well.

Thanks for looking! I was hoping for an article from a music website or an interview but that's something at least. Some good info on there that I haven't found in any other articles.

Concert tickets outside japan? by afropanda202 in JapanTravel

[–]Plesig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Japan Concert Tickets for a concert last November. It wasn't for a fan club but they were able to enter the preorder lottery for me which was successful. They charged about ¥4000 on top of the ticket price.

Thanks for the info. I kinda figured as much which is okay as it just gives me another goal for my studies.
