That one (Dropkick) is actually outside the Gai, across from Godzilla, apparently theres a different wrestling bar in the Gai I havent been to. Either way still paying that Kabukicho premium. Anyways, hope y'all have a blast, I was in Japan only 5 months ago but it already feels like an eternity.
Cant imagine its gotten any better over the years, some of those theme bars can be quite pricey. I had fun watching wrestling at DDT's bar but man, definitely paying a bit of a premium.
Love getting my drink on at Death Match in Hell, if you werent aware the owner is a big Metalhead (Just wish it weren't jam packed all the time forever)
And dont forget that tomorrow is #bandcampfriday, a large proportion of the music you hear tonight can be purchased on bandcamp, and buying on BCF ensures the musician see's the highest percentage of your dollar.
Tonight, tune into KNGI at 8pm EST for two new hours of the best in dance and vgm (and something a little heavy, as a treat). Tonight's show has got a real mainstage vibe going on, so tune in and come on over to KNGI to join the chat. kngi.org/listen/
Quick reminder that a new episode of The Bonus Stages premiers tomorrow on The KNGI network at 8pm EST. kngi.org/listen/

Nector of life
More like... Octorokavarium hohoho gottem. Anyways, u should check Ro Panuganti's new album, definitely gonna play a cut on this month's This Is Heavy feature on The Bonus Stages.
Learning that Suruga-ya ships internationally is terrible information to have just been bestowed, oh lord, oh no.
Can confirm Records / CDs are still tariff free as ever at least, was worried they would try to pull a fast one when importing the new Wasei JJ Chikada albums but no problem from customs.
A good read on the saga in it's entirety, at least what we know currently. Now to figure out how to import the 40th Anniversary WWWA Report artbook.
Dirty Pair fans came out of the woodwork to back this projectβto the tune of US$731,406 what they got were years of delays, authoring problems, and a disc wrapped in a napkin. What happened?
My goals for this year are to be better at promoting TBS, and to be better about uploading episodes in a timely manor. The replay of Episode 21 of The Bonus Stages is live over on KNGI #vgm kngi.org/the-bonus-st...
Trying to manage multiple adult lives at the same time as being injured is so, so difficult. I'm so sorry Kazzie.

This month's episode of The Bonus Stages will be delayed until Friday, Jan 30 at 8pm EST. Hopefully next month we can get back on schedule. See you there over on the KNGI network #vgm kngi.org

Thanks for making it haha, keep doing what you're doing, incredible stuff!
@ohthehumanityma.bsky.social - Ground to Dust
Genre: Melodic Punk
A melodic punk masterpiece, probably had the most spins of any album I listened to from 2025. Come for 'Gutted', stay for 'Circumstances'. 10/10, flawless album.
ACIDMAN - ε
ε¦
Genre: Rock
Speaking of long time running Japanese bands, Optics (ε
ε¦) is ACIDMAN's 13th studio album. While I'm always going to be partial to their more experimental albums, there is breadth on here and still very much worth checking out.
@petefrogs.bsky.social - Sonic & Chill 2
Genre: Chill house
I didnt even know this one was in planning until it was released. Personally, I highly prefer house music to synthwave, so the sequel composed by one of my favorite electronic artists was an incredibly welcome surprise.
Amulette - Weightless Fugue / Kaleidoscope
Genre: Math Rock
Amulette have not yet released an album, I hope that changes soon but for now they released two singles in 2025. They're one of the best mathrock bands I've heard, and certainly the best one out of the Baystate
Spiritbox - Tsunami Sea
Genre: Metalcore
Man... Just listen to 'Soft Spine' Spiritbox are absolutely back on that special sauce, hell yeah man.
@the8bitbigband.bsky.social - Album 5 - Orchestrator Emulator
Genre: Big Band Jazz
What else can be said about Grammy award winning video game jazz arrangers 8BBB, Album 5 continues the streak of whimsical jazz arrangements, but most importantly I urge you to try to see a live show if possible.
