poetryonplastic | Vinyl Update: Recent Japanese Imports @poetryonplastic | Uploaded October 2020 | Updated October 2024, 10 minutes ago.
Didn't include music clips for this one because I didn't want Japan's strict copyright bots to come after me. I did make a Tidal playlist of the albums I talked about that are available on that platform (which is about 1/3 of them). Spotify users may have more luck.
