Discography

Hikashu Official Store is the best place to obtain the band's merchandise and they accept international orders. If you have any question about it like ordering or payment, feel free to contact us via the mail form on the site.

Regarding in-print titles, here I put links to HMV Japan (English page). They provide English service and accept orders from outside Japan.

    the two disc Pre-Hikashu, and the Pike single.

    thanks for your site. Hikashu information is hard to come by and nearly impossible to come by in English.

  2. Thank you very much for kind word. Comments and feedbacks are really appreciated.

    And please, spread the word about the band. They are so great, and should be more widely-known to the foreign audiences.

    By the way, your collection is great. I could understand it is not easy task to get their albums in foreign countries, so do I appreciate the effort. Especially the Pike single, and the Pre-Hikashu album are now hard to find, so keep them safe.

    If you were interested in early Hikashu, 1978 (the album) is the must-have. They were lo-fi before the word was invented! Makigami said recently that the 1978 album will be reissued near future, probably in 2010. I'll write about the reissue when it announced. Thanks again.

  3. I really want to buy Hikashu (1979), digital or physical. I love it. I can only find it on YouTube to listen to right now.
