Why's he done?The charismatic rapper KOHH is done with music, at least under his current alias. This meaty last album allows him to go out with a bang. Hopefully we'll see him doing other projects.
Don't think he said why. But as I mentioned, it's described as his last album "as KOHH", so maybe it means he'll be doing something new at some point.
LOL the physical release of Gesu's album will have a special edition that has a baumkuchen cake instead of the CD (you still get the lyrics booklet tho lmao). Touted as the first CD with an expiration date!
I'll stick with the vinyl record version haha
Only have Dos Monos's Dos City, and Kotori's Revival (my brother also got me Ghost in The Shell's OST if that counts)
Thanks, the HMV list is pretty useful!HMV's been my go-to for Japanese vinyl releases, though I'm not sure how their shipping is these days (I know EMS/SAL is now shut down to the U.S. but Amazon's DHL shipping still works for Canada; I think HMV uses EMS but not totally sure). They have a convenient upcoming vinyl releases page that serves as my Japanese equivalent of r/VinylReleases, though not everything makes it there. I think the recent Nujabes repress of Modal Soul was on the Dance/R&B page instead, for example. Still, HMV tends to put stuff on the site faster than Amazon.co.jp, and sometimes Amazon doesn't bother putting anything up at all.
Jet Set's another good place for vinyl that ships overseas, but you'll have to do some on-the-fly translation of their site if you don't understand Japanese. I've ordered a few things from there, though, mostly limited pressings and Record Store Day stuff.

I used to buy my CDs on HMV Japan until like 2015-ish, but always getting customs fees made me switch to Amazon Japan where you already pay an extra for customs clearance when you order (it's still waaaaaay less than what I used to get with my HMV orders, like 1/3).
That being said... huh.. I wanted to pre-order Gesu's record on Amazon Japan, but it's showing me insane shipping fees for France (8000+ yens) even though it's usually around 2000 yens for packages of that size/weight (looking at other 2LP Japanese records for reference). What the hell. Maybe it's a mistake... ? lol
Hmmm, wait and see I guess.Yeah, I've been trying to wean myself off all things Amazon myself, but two-day shipping to Canada plus pre-paid import duties are a really big deal. I've been pretty lucky with HMV packages so far, knock on wood, but the peace of mind of pre-paying is really nice.
Re: Gesu, I also get a ridiculously high shipping rate. I've heard from a record label in Hong Kong (Neoncity Records) that they're having an especially tough time shipping out vinyl, but Amazon uses DHL so I don't think that's affected in the same way. I tried to check shipping costs on HMV but they've completely suspended international shipping for the time being. A quick survey of upcoming releases shows mostly normal shipping rates but a few other releases have ridiculous costs--this Satoko Shibata 7-inch costs more than twice the list price to ship to Canada, for example. Maybe it'll fix itself in time?
You'll be delighted to learn that they've uploaded a full show on Youtube (available for a limited time, but they haven't said until when)I recently discovered Bump of Chicken's full discography was on Spotify, man I love them.
Her latest album is cool stuff👍🏻👍🏻Got an ad for this. *shrug*

Utada just dropped her new song "Time"
I really like it, it's a nice mix of her old school R&B sound and her recent music.
