thanks for your site. Hikashu information is hard to come by and nearly impossible to come by in English.
Thank you very much for kind word. Comments and feedbacks are really appreciated.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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.
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.
