Bamdrew told me that you were into Supercar. I saw a video he had posted and got interested. It seems they have very little for sale on amazon and what is for sale is around $40-50 per album. What's going on with them?

Amazon is the WORST place to get Japanese music (Amazon Japan is decent though). Use these sites, you'll find their albums for much better prices (and Yesasia gives you free shipping on orders over 25 bucks - a REALLY good deal; this is offset by their smaller selection and slightly higher CD prices). I use a combination of these when buying Japanese music.

As for Supercar themselves, they broke up in February 2005. The current projects are as follows:

Kouji Nakamura (vocals, guitar) is currently doing a solo project called iLL (http://www.illtheworld.jp/). It's electronic music, though in his latest single that came out last spring he did some singing (which really got me excited for what he's going to do next; I love his voice).

Miki Furukawa (bass, vocals) also went solo, under her own name　(Furukawa Miki/フルカワ ミキ). It's pretty interesting, a nice blend of pop, pop-rock, and electronic music. Nakamura plays guitar for her at live shows. (http://www.furukawamiki.jp/)

Junji Ishiwatari (guitar), who actually wrote all of their amazing lyrics, is currently not in any bands. He is, however, writing lyrics from time to time for various musicians, and does sound production for the bands Chatmonchy (http://www.chatmonchy.com/), a three-piece girl rock band with a great catchy sound, and 9mm Parabellum Bullet (http://9mm.moo.jp/), a high energy indie rock band.

Koudai Tazawa (drums) is currently doing some rather boring electronic music as aM (アム). I had a link to his MySpace at one point, but they weren't really worth checking out anyway, sadly.

Ummm...monster post. Sorry about that lol. I'm just a huge fan, so I've been following them since the breakup to see what they've been doing (Been a fan since I first heard them in early 2004). Of the solo projects, Miki's is the best, but iLL's latest release has me excited for what he'll do next.

Concerning Supercar itself, I have everything on my computer (as well as owning a decent portion of their releases), so if you want recommendations/a hookup, I can upload whatever for you. They're my second favorite Japanese band. If you're looking to buying things, the older singles are getting harder and harder to find, so I'd recommend starting there if anywhere.

GO!GO!7188 did a killer cover of this on their 虎の穴 (tora no ana) cover album. If you liked this and haven't heard it yet, I strongly suggest checking it out (I can provide the hookup if you want).

Mmmm, sour headies. Looks like it's time to take a drive up to Vermont/the Canada border! Massachusetts (excepting your some-odd college hookup) is inundated with terrible grass. To call them "trees" could almost be a literal interpretation.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Short, sweet and touching. I give it a thumbs up. Looking forward to our first Sift-hookup wedding. Anyone?

Problems could be as simple as one of the cables he uses is longer than the other. Ever been to a concert with bad audio hookup and the speakers in the back are out of sync with the stage speakers? some thing pretty much.

one more vote here for the uk hookup.

I almost ordered a tetsujin t-shirt a month or so ago. Also much thanks for the millennium actress hookup, have been craving some new anime.
