Boris recently repressed a couple of their older works on vinyl and I ended up buying the fan-club variants. They came out awesome. They sound pretty great too:
Nice, how much they cost? Really digging the colour choices, I love the classic black of vinyl but it’s refreshing to see them like that.
As for my own:
Matenrou Opera - Anomie, cheap and all these years later it’s still a great release.
Ryuichi Sakamoto, if anyone is interested this is long before he was the grey haired pianist. I had no idea but he started out writing new age electronic and collaborated with David sylvian from Japan (the band, not the country, yes it gets confusing)
In this week’s episode of “Saikou’s bad financial decisions” I have added Rock and Read 90 (Tatsurou cover), Rock and Read 27 (Ryutaro cover), PHY 06 (Plastic Tree cover) and Melancholic by Plastic Tree
Got me this shirt from the collaboration of Gazette’s Aoi with Taujan. Taujan had been making pendants for all zodiac signs and for the shirt Aoi had asked him for a personal sign. Aoi is a cusp which means he’s been born right at the change from one zodiac sign to the next one. This means he’s influenced more by both signs than just the one he’s been born under. That’s why for the print on the shirt the symbols for Capricorn and Aquarius got put together.
I got the other shirt from a friend for Christmas.
I’ve sadly not been to the tour but I loved the excitement of the band members when they got back to their roots regarding venues last year.
In 2021’s first episode of “Saikou’s bad financial decisions”, Saikou has acquired the much-longed-for Zetsubou Wonderland deluxe photo book, the single Mizu-iro Girlfriend, the album Traumerei, and the live DVD for Yuku Pura Kita Pura.
I ended up with the first press of Traumerei, which is in a silver reflective Digipak and looks absolutely beautiful. I had no clue this album looked so good! And while the photoshoots in Zetsubou Wonderland are eye-candy, Ryutaro’s interviews are food the for soul
