If Japan is for sale, then I guess I'm buying.
I've been on a buying spree lately. I found a few solid penny CD auctioneers on eBay, plus I'm still in the thrift stores 2 or 3 times a week. It's made a bit of a dent in the bank account, so I think it's probably tijme to cool it, at least thru the end of the year. I have a ton to listen to, a ton to box up; no need to add to it unless it's the deal of the century.
Or I can just recognize that I treat anxiety with retail therapy sometimes.
ANYWAY...
I copped this one for less than a buck on the basis of it having POLYSICS and Puffy Amiyumi on the comp and some very fun Shag artwork, Clearly, it doesn't take much for me at that price point. But here's the second of four snapshots of the SonyMusic Japan family at the turn of the millenium. This one's fascinating to look back at, especially with how strong a force K-pop is now around the world. It makes me wonder how such a diverse music culture fell out of view.
Shit, I'm probably just musing on account of subscribing to Crunchyroll and watching a bunch of anime.
