Sorry for the lack of regular updates lately. Things have been a bit busy outside of the A-Z. No, really! Here's the evidence!
ON SALE NOW is the new issue of Otaku USA magazine. In this issue I've got four pages of music reviews. Four! That's, like, 400% more than any other Japanese culture mag out there!
There's a complete guide to the awesome P-Vine "Techno Ca-Yo" compilations of vintage '80s synth pop, all eight discs! I also have reviews of the new Motocompo and Boris albums, and Kayo's (of Polysics) solo album Mitsuami Heroine.
Of course there is a mega-ton of great anime, manga (they have a staggering number of manga reviews ever issue,) film and general (and not so general) otaku goods coverage. OUSA is really the best place for some great obscure stuff, as well as fantastic coverage of the breaking stories. Obviously I highly recommend it!
Go grab a copy and let me know what you think. It would mean the world to me if you could show your support for more J-music coverage and send a few good words over to the crew.
Things are starting to pile up, and that's a very very good thing. Hopefully I'll be able to buckle down and clear my desk for a full-force return to the A-Z next week. For now, I have a big bold "THANK YOU!" to all of you constant readers out there, and a huge bold and italic "THANKS!" to the Otaku USA crew for their support!
