Welcome to February! This month’s releases is full of both singles and albums from up and coming acts such as Arlequin (アルルカン) and DADAROMA, as well as legendary bands like Kuroyume (黒夢) and BUCK-TICK. A few popular bands (Lycaon, DIV, and Matenrou Opera, to name a few) are also adding some excitement to this month. So take a look at the schedule; maybe you’ll find a release that will compliment your musical library, or maybe you’ll find yourself pining for one of the many live venue only releases. Like myself.
