globe - relation

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-08T09:24:16+09:00

Relation is one of the best felling albums by globe.

Vinnk's Take: globe were a Japanese sensation, hugely popular and influential in the 90's and 2000s. This was one of their best selling albums with popular singles "wanna Be A Dreammaker" "Sa Yo Na Ra" "sweet heart", "Perfume of love" I came to Japan in 2001 so this album was already a few years old (and therefore inexpensive) so this is actually the first globe album I bought. Not sure if this is the best album to start with, but it's where I started and it's really good.

Tracklist

1. letting out a deep breath
2. across the street, cross the waters
3. wanna Be A Dreammaker (Album Mix)
4. creamy day
5. Sa Yo Na Ra – album version –
6. sweet heart (Full Length Version)
7. like a snowy kiss
8. calls from the public
9. Relation
10. Perfume of love
11. illusion

Amuro Namie (安室奈美恵) - Dance Tracks Vol. 1

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-08T09:23:25+09:00

Dance Tracks Vol. 1 is the debut album of Amuro Namie

Vinnk's Take: The first album by one of the defining J-pop artists on the 90s. It's a bit of a strange album because some of the track were recorded for her as the leader of an idol group (Super Monkeys) but it was clear she was going to be a solo artist so this album has a mixed feel because of it. That is not to say it is bad, far from it. Good beats, very danceable, and with hints of what was to come.

Tracklist:

1. GO! GO! 〜夢の速さで〜 — 4:50
2. TRY ME 〜私を信じて〜 (NEW ALBUM MIX) — 4:04
3. Stop the music (NEW ALBUM MIX) — 3:51
4. GET MY SHININ' — 4:02
5. わがままを許して (GROOVY MIX) — 5:00
6. 愛してマスカット (GROOVY MIX) — 4:04
7. Paradise Train (GROOVY MIX) — 4:31
8. Dancing Junk (GROOVY MIX) — 4:47
9. Super Luck! — 3:56
10. ハートに火をつけて (NEW ALBUM MIX) — 3:29
11. 太陽のSeason (NEW ALBUM MIX) — 3:46
Bonus Tracks
12. TRY ME 〜私を信じて〜 (EXTENDED VERSION) — 5:11
13. 太陽のSeason (SALSOULIKE MIX) — 3:30

Do as Infinity - Deep Forest is the 3rd and best selling album from the rock band Do As Infinity. Contains "Fukai Mori " which was the second ending theme for the anime Inuyasha

Vinnk's Take: This is my favorite Do as Infinity album and has my Favorite Do as Infinity song ("Boukensha Tachi" See the video below). Most people know of the album because of the theme from InuYasaha. That's a great track, but don't skip over the rest of the album, there are some real bangers.

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T17:28:55+09:00

Do as Infinity - Do the Best (Greatest Hits Album) is the first "best of" album from the group.

Vinnk's Take: Do as infinity are a great mix of rock and pop. Really great guitar work under the powerful vocals. This is a compilation album of the best of their early (and most popular) songs. I personally prefer the edit of Boukensha Tachi on the Deep Forest album but this live version still rocks.

Tracklist:

1. "SUMMER DAYS" 3:54
2. "Tōku Made (遠くまで; Far Away)" 4:02
3. "Hi no Ataru Sakamichi (陽のあたる坂道; Sun-Lit Hill)" 4:26

Ayumi Hamasaki - I am...

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T17:24:34+09:00

I am... is Ayumi Hamasaki's 4th album and one of her most popular.

Vinnk's Take: I am... is the album that really got me into Ayumi Hamasaki. The album tries some really fun things. Mixing pop with some electronic music, just jam packed with energy. The tracks "Evolution" and "M" were deservedly big hits as songles and really propel the album. This is a good starting place if you want to see if Ayu's music is something you feel you might like.

Tracklist:

I am...
opening Run
Connected
UNITE!
evolution
Naturally
NEVER EVER
still alone
Daybreak
taskinlude
M
A Song is born
Dearest
no more words
Endless sorrow ~gone with the wind ver.~

Mariya Takeuchi (竹内まりや) - Request

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T04:17:38+09:00

Request is the 7th studio album by the "Queen of City Pop" Mariya Takeuchi.

Vinnk's Take: What a great album! The first collaboration with the "King of City Pop" Tatsuro Yamashita. If you dig this mid 80's sound this is one of the better albums you can pick up. I linked "Oh No, Oh Yes!" below but it was hard to choose because there are quite a few good songs. "Eki" is maybe the biggest hit from the album and you should listen to that one too.

Track listing

1. 恋の嵐 — Koi no Arashi
2. OH NO, OH YES! — Oh No, Oh Yes!
3. けんかをやめて — Kenka o Yamete
4. 消息 — Shōsoku
5. 元気を出して — Genki o Dashiki
6. 駅 — Eki
7. テコのテーマ — Teko’s Theme
8. 色・ホワイトブレンド — Iro White Blend
9. 夢の続き — Yume no Tsuzuki

Tokyo Incidents / Tokyo Jihen (東京事変) - Kyōiku

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T04:17:38+09:00

Kyōiku is the 1st album by Tokyo Jihen (東京事変) sometimes credited as Tokyo Incidents.

Vinnk's Take: Sheena Ringo is one of my favorite Japanese solo artists. When it was announced that she would be forming a band I wasn't sure what to make of it. Would her style be diluted by the collaboration? I feel that they put together a really solid album and I had nothing to worry about. from the very fist track "Ringo no Uta" this album just bleeds style. "Sōnan" is the other song I was thinking of linking to this description, I highly recommend that one too.

1. "Ringo no Uta"
2. "Gunjō Biyori"
3. "Jusui Negai" (入水願い "Drowning Wish")
4. "Sōnan"
5. "Crawl" (クロール Kurōru)
6. "Genjitsu ni Oite" (現実に於て "In Reality"; instrumental)
7. "Genjitsu o Warau" (現実を嗤う "Laugh at Reality")
8. "Service" (サービス Sābisu)
9. "Ekimae" (駅前 "In Front of the Station")
10. "Omatsuri Sawagi" (御祭騒ぎ "Festival Bustle")
11. "Bokoku Jōcho" (母国情緒 "Homely Atmosphere")
12. "Yume no Ato" (夢のあと "A Scar of Dreams")

Zard - Forever You

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T04:17:38+09:00

Forever You is the 6th album by Zard

Vinnk's Take: This is the first Zard album I bought. It was one of Zards best selling albums and also one of the best selling albums of 1995. "Anata o kanjite itai", "Forever you" and "Just believe in love" are my favorites off the album. I was in Japan when Izumi Sakai tragically passed away way too young. I remember hearing a lot of these songs get renewed radio play. "Forever you" hits different now.

Track listing

1. 今すぐ会いに来て — Ima sugu ai ni kite
2. ハイヒール脱ぎ捨てて — High Heel nugisutete
3. Forever you
4. もう逃げたりしないわ想い出から — Mō nigetari shinai wa omoide kara
5. あなたを感じていたい — Anata o kanjite itai
6. 気楽に行こう — Kiraku ni ikō
7. I’m in love
8. こんなにそばに居るのに — Konna ni soba ni iru noni
9. Just believe in love
10. 瞳そらさないで — Hitomi sorasanaide

Utada Hikaru - Fantôme (ファントーム)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T04:17:38+09:00

Utada Hikaru's 6th full length Japanese album.

Vinnk's Take: Don't call it a comeback. But that's what it was called at the time. Her first new album in 7 years. It had a lot to live up to. Sales wise it might not have, but as an artistic work it is one of her most personal and powerful. Deeper themes of grief, sadness and death are mixed in with the usual love themes. It reflects where she was in the midst of personal tragedies. But the record is not a bummer and it's quite beautiful. A highlight for me is "Nijikan Dake no Vacance" where she collaborated with one of my other favorite singers Sheena Ringo. If you like Utada, give this album a try.

Track listing

1. Michi
2. Ore no Kanojo
3. Hanataba o Kimi ni
4. Nijikan Dake no Vacance (feat. Ringo Sheena)
5. Ningyo
6. Tomodachi (feat. Nariaki Obukuro)
7. Manatsu no Tōriame
8. Kōya no Ōkami
9. Boukyaku (feat. KOHH)
10. Jinsei Saikō no Hi
11. Sakura Nagashi

Mariya Takeuchi - Quiet Life

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T04:17:38+09:00

Quiet Life is a 1992 album by the "Queen of City Pop" Mariya Takeuchi

Vinnk's Take: One of the best selling albums of Mariya Takeuchi. It also won Best Album at the 35th Japan Record Awards. No question why. It contains the popular singles, Kokuhaku, Shiawase no Sagashikata, Single Again, Manhattan Kiss and Uchi ni Kaerō (My Sweet Home). Some of her best known songs. For me it's a bit slower and calmer than some of her other stuff, but it's good to put on when in a chill mood.

Track listing

1 Uchi ni Kaerō (My Sweet Home) 家に帰ろう（マイ・スイート・ホーム)
2 Manhattan Kiss (マンハッタン・キス)
3 Forever Friends
4 Cool Down
5 After Years
6 The Christmas Song
7 Kokuhaku (告白)
8 コンビ二・ラヴァー
9 ロンサム・シーズン

Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Kimi Tsunagi Five M (君繋ファイブエム)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T04:17:38+09:00

Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Kimi Tsunagi Five M (君繋ファイブエム) is the debut album from Asian Kung-Fu Generation

Vinnk's Take: First albums by rock groups are sometimes very uneven and rough. But I really feel like Asian Kung-Fu Generation hit it out of the park on their very first try. "Kimi to Iu Hana" is my favorite track on the album but "Mirai no Kakera" is probably the most famous song from this album (and it's great too).

Track listing:

1. "Flashback" (フラッシュバック Furasshubakku) 1:58
2. "Mirai no Kakera" (未来の破片 Piece of The Future) 4:45
3. "Denpatou" (電波塔 Radio Tower) 3:31
4. "Understand" (アンダースタンド Andāsutando) 3:44
5. "Natsu no Hi, Zanzō" (夏の日、残像 After Image of Summer) 4:41
6. "Mugen Glider" (無限グライダー Eternal Glider) 5:07
7. "Sono Wake o" (その訳を The Reason Why) 4:36
8. "N.G.S" 2:54
9. "Jihei Tansaku" (自閉探索 (Search Within) Social Withdrawal) 3:28
10. "E" 4:12
11. "Kimi to Iu Hana" (君という花 A Flower Named You) 6:10
12. "No Name" (ノーネーム Nōnēmu) 5:00

Ayu-mi-x 4 + Selection Non-Stop Mega Mix Version

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T04:17:38+09:00

Ayu-mi-x 4 + Selection Non-Stop Mega Mix Version is a remix album of many of the most popular Ayumi Hamasaki songs.

Vinnk's Take: I consider myself a bit of a purist. I general I almost always like original tracks by the original artists a lot more than remixes. But I kinda make an exception for the Ayu-mix series. They are good CDs to just put on and let run. I'm too old to go to a club, but 20 years ago I would have appreciated these mixes in that context as well.

Utada Hikaru's 4th full length Japanese album.

Vinnk's Take: Fantastic and well balanced album. Again a lot of fans will come for the Kingdom Hearts track "Passion" and there is nothing wrong with that, it's a great track.

2. "Keep Tryin'"
3. "Blue"

Utada Hikaru - Deep River

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T04:17:38+09:00

Utada Hikaru's 3rd full length album (4th if you count Cubic U)

Vinnk's Take: This album came out after I left Japan (the first time) but several of the singles on it were released in 2001 while I was studying abroad. I bought each as they came out. It is impossible to choose a best track on this album, so many are fantastic. "Traveling" is a fantastic up-tempo track I used for exercising. "Final Distance" (see linked video) is one of my favorite Ballads ever. "Sakura Drops" is an aural masterpiece. But of course the most well known track on this collection to western audiences would be "Hikari" the original Japanese version of "Simple and Clean" that would become the Kingdom Heart theme song. GREAT album.

Tracklist

1. "Sakura Drops (SAKURAドロップス)
2. "Traveling"
3. "Shiawase ni Narō (幸せになろう)
4. "Deep River"
5. "Letters"
6. "Play Ball (プレイ・ボール)
7. "Tokyo Nights (東京NIGHTS)"
8. "A.S.A.P."
9. "Uso Mitai na I Love You (嘘みたいな I Love You)"
10. "Final Distance"
11. "Bridge (Interlude)"
12. "Hikari (光, Light)"

Utada Hikaru - Heart Station

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T04:17:38+09:00

Utada Hikaru's 5th full length album (8th if you count the English albums credited as Cubic U or Utada)

Vinnk's Take: After her English language albums failed to set the world on fire (despite their quality) many people began to doubt that she would ever be able to deliver an album of the quality and mainstream appeal of her first 3. Personally I never never bet agains Hikaru and she showed everyone with a fantastic return to form album Heart Station. The lead single, "Flavor of Life", because one of the top selling singles of all time. Also "Prisoner of Love" and "Beautiful World" are fantastic. As I was writing this I was compelled to listen through the entire album again. An afternoon well spent.

Tracklist

1. "Fight the Blues" 4:10
2. "Heart Station" 4:36
3. "Beautiful World" 5:17
4. "Flavor of Life (Ballad Version)" 5:25

6. "Kiss & Cry" 5:06
7. "Gentle Beast Interlude" 1:13
8. "Celebrate" 4:26
9. "Prisoner of Love" 4:46
10. "Teiku 5 (テイク 5, Take 5)" 3:42
11. "Boku wa Kuma (ぼくはくま, I am a Bear)" 2:23
12. "Niji-iro Basu (虹色バス, Rainbow-colored Bus)" 5:50

Utada Hikaru - Distance

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T04:17:38+09:00

Utada Hikaru's 2nd full length album (3rd if you count Cubic U)

Vinnk's Take: This is my favorite Utada Hikaru album. It was a big hit when I was living in Japan for the first time. "Wait & See" was my exercise music and "Can You Keep a Secret?" has been playing in my head now for nearly 20 years and I still like it. Excellent album.

Tracklist

1. "Wait & See (Risk)"

Utada Hikaru (宇多田ヒカル) - First Love

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-07T04:17:38+09:00

Utada Hikaru's First Love album was and remains the best selling album in Japan. It has never been topped and likely won't.

Vinnk's Take: The is Utada Hikaru's Japanese debut album (after trying her hand in the States as Cubic U). And what a debut. So many good tracks. "Automatic" is a Karaoke classic. "First Love" (linked below) still gives me the feels. "Movin' on without you" is also really great. In fact there are very few weak tracks on this album. I know people outside of Japan mostly know Utada Hikaru for her work with the Kingdom Hearts series but for people in Japan it is this album that comes to mind first.

Tracklist
Automatic -Album Edit-
Movin' on without you
In My Room
First Love
Amai Wana ~Paint It, Black (甘いワナ〜Paint It, Black; Sweet Trap)
time will tell
Never Let Go
B&C -Album Version-
Another Chance
Interlude
Give Me A Reason
Automatic -Johnny Vicious Remix- (Bonus Track)
First Love -John Luongo Remix- (Vinyl Bonus Track)

Bomberman Land (ボンバーマンランド)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-06T20:51:17+09:00

Hachimitsu is the 6th album by Spitz

Vinnk's Take: This is the beginning of the Spitz sound everyone knows. This is their first Non-indie album and the first on to have a song actually chart (Kimi ga Omoide ni Naru Mae ni). I only know that because I looked it up, for me this was a great Spitz album with a funny name. A good album to add to a Spitz collection. Beyond "Kimi ga Omoide ni Naru Mae ni" (linked below) try "Tamagawa" and "Dolphin Love".

Vinnk's Take: This is the first album I bought from Beat Crusaders and another I bough based on the cover alone. I also had a chance to see these guys live in 2006. They put on a great show. They are famous for never showing their actual faces but wearing dot-matrix paper masks of their faces. Anyway, great album.

Sol-fa is the 2nd studio album from Asian Kung-Fu Generation

Vinnk's Take: This is the first Asian Kung-Fu Generation album I ever bought so it will always bring back nostalgic feelings. "Kimi no Machi Made" is one of my favorite songs by the band. A lot of other great songs too "Loop & Loop" and "Siren" stand out. But I usually just listen to the entire album rather than skip around.

Track list:
1. "Shindōkaku" (振動覚 Resonance) 2:27

Puyo Puyo Box (ぷよぷよBOX)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-03T22:53:29+09:00

Puyo Puyo Box (ぷよぷよBOX) is a 2000 release and the final Puyo Puyo game made by Compile before they sold the series to Sega. For me the Compile Puyo Puyo games are peak and this game is necessary for my collection. It contains the Mega Drive versions of Puyo Puyo 1 and 2 a brand new Puyo Puyo RPG game and a Treasure Mode variation. And importantly, and I am quoting from wiki here: "The key point in the gameplay of Puyo Puyo BOX is that the player can choose a ruleset from either Puyo Puyo, Puyo Puyo 2 (with countering), Puyo Puyo Sun (with countering and Sun Puyos dropping after each counter), and Puyo Puyo~n (with countering and a special gauge, with a select number of specials for the player to choose before a game begins). This can effectively lead to four-player battles where each player plays with independent or mixed rules. The game also allows for team battles to take place." A fitting send off for the Compile series.

The game has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Playstation games before buying.

The game has been tested in a Japanese Xbox 360 and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Xbox 360 games before buying. Region coding on the 360 is a bit odd, it is neither all region free or all region locked. Publishers could choose to lock their games or not (Many are region free!). I do not have a US or PAL 360 to test games so I can make no claims to their compatibility, but there are many list on the internet, such as this one: https://gaming.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_region-free_Xbox_360_video_games Again, I cannot vouch for their accuracy only that the game works perfectly in a JPN 360.

MagnaCarta 2 (マグナカルタ2) is an Xbox 360 exclusive JRPG. I haven't played it much myself but it is famous for it's strong focus characters and political conflict.

The game has been tested in a Japanese Xbox 360 and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Xbox 360 games before buying. Region coding on the 360 is a bit odd, it is neither all region free or all region locked. Publishers could choose to lock their games or not (Many are region free!). I do not have a US or PAL 360 to test games so I can make no claims to their compatibility, but there are many list on the internet, such as this one: https://gaming.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_region-free_Xbox_360_video_games Again, I cannot vouch for their accuracy only that the game works perfectly in a JPN 360.

DVD games will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, the games will ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-03T13:38:31+09:00

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (マリオ&ソニック AT 北京オリンピック) I think it is hard to express what a big deal this game was at the time (2007), the first ever cross-over game with the biggest rival in platform games. Yeah it's a Track and Field type button masher but it was a sensation at the time.

The game has been tested on an authentic Nintendo DS system and it stats up fine. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Check the condition before buying. Nintendo DS games are region free! This cart WILL run on JPN/US/PAL Nintendo DS, DSi, 3DS or 2DS system.

Jaki Crush (邪鬼破壊)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-03T12:21:07+09:00

Jaki Crush (邪鬼破壊) is a fantastic pinball game for the Super Famicom. Lots of people know about the PC Engine classic pinball games Alien Crush and Devil's Crush by NAXAT soft, but I think way fewer people know about the 3rd game in the series. Maybe because it never left Japan. But if you like those games or just incredibly stylish pinball in general, pick this one up. No Japanese skill needed to play.

Spark World (スパーク・ワールド)

Executive one: Let's make Bomberman!
Executive two: But we don't own Bomberman.
Executive one: OK, well... make it like Bomberman but the characters are....err.. CARS!

the brilliant green - the brilliant green (self-titled debut album) [1st print edition]

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-02T14:15:00+09:00

NOTE: There is some damage on the back corner of the CD case (see photos) The price has been lowered because of this.

Debut album by the brilliant green.

Vinnk's Take: So I actually discovered Tomoko Kawase's solo project "Tommy February 6" before her band but once I found "the brilliant green" I have been a fan ever since. A lot less crazy than Tommy but rooted in amazing songs and a rocking band. There Will Be Love There was a huge hit in Japan. Tsumetai Hana (冷たい花) and "I’m in Heaven" are also standout tracks. This album is the best selling of their entire discography and a good place to start your new obsession.

Track listing

1. I’m in Heaven
2. Tsumetai Hana (冷たい花)
3. You & I
4. Always and Always
5. Stand By
6. Magic Place
7. I
8. Baby London Star
9. There Will Be Love There – 愛のある場所 –
10. Rock’n Roll

Vinnk's Take: Been meaning to put some L'Arc-en-Ciel CDs on this site since I started this project. I'm going to start with my first one, 2000s "Real". It has the track "Neo Universe" which is great and "Get out from the Shell" and "Stay Away" are also highlights.

2. The Nepenthes — 3:26

Otsuka Ai - Love Jam (CD+DVD edition)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-02T14:12:18+09:00

Love Jam is the 2nd studio album by Otsuka Ai.

Vinnk's Take: The track "Happy Days" became an absolute anthem in Japan in 2004. It has an infectious beat and goes surprisingly hard for a candy pop song. This album didn't see as well as her debut "Love Punch" but I think it is overall equally as good. "Friends" is another great track and the ballad "Kingyo Hanabi" went on to become one of her signature songs.

Track listing

1. スーパーマン (Super Man)
2. Happy Days
3. Strawberry Jam
4. 大好きだよ。 (Daisuki da yo. / “I Love You.”)
5. 扇子 (Sensu)
6. 妄想チョップ (Mousou Chop)
7. Bon Bon
8. 二つ星記念日 (Futatsu Boshi Kinen’bi)
9. 金魚花火 (Kingyo Hanabi / “Goldfish Fireworks”)
10. 黒毛和牛上塩タン焼680円 (Kuroge Wagyu Joshio Tan Yaki 680 Yen)
11. フレンズ (Friends)

DVD

1. "Love's Story ~Daisuki Da yo.~" (Short Film)
2. "Short Film ~Kingyo Hanabi~" (Short Film)

hitomi - Déjà-vu

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-02T14:07:12+09:00

Déjà-vu is the 3rd studio album by hitomi.

Vinnk's Take: This is one of Hitomi's most successful albums and it is easy to see why. Her musical style is evolving beyond the more simple pop tunes (as good as they are) of the first 2 albums. She also gets a chance to show off some of her instruments skills. "Busy Now" and "Problem" are the tracks I love (had a hard time deciding which music video to link, but you should watch them both). "Pretty Eyes" was probably the most well known track off the album and that one is good too.

Track listing

1. "Mistake"
2. "Busy Now"
3. "Turning Point"
4. "Slow Song"
5. "Poker Face"
6. "Free Soul!!"
7. "Hard Days Night (One More Beauty)"
8. "Problem" Hitomi
9. "Digital Worker (Who's He?)"
10. "Pretty Eyes"
11. "Déjà-vu"

PSY・S (Psy-S) – Holiday

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-09-01T21:47:28+09:00

Holiday is a 1991 studio album for progressive pop duo PSY・S. The group is made of Masaya Matsuura (who is known for making Parappa the Rapper and Vib Ribbon) and CHAKA (who had a very successful solo career)

Vinnk's Take: Crazy enough my teenage daughter has been getting into PSY S lately. She loves Parappa the Rapper and I told her about the connection to the band. I din't know if she would like it because this music is so obviously different, but she digs it. Anyway I overheard her listening to "夏服とスケート — Natsufuku to Skate" and decided that that is the long I would link below. It's also one of my favorite PSY S songs and it debuts on this album.

Track listing

1. 夏服とスケート — Natsufuku to Skate
2. あさ〜from day to day〜 — Asa ~from day to day~
3. 宝石の島 — Houseki no Shima
4. ダブル・ダブル — Double Double
5. オーロラの不思議な街 — Ōrora no Fushigi na Machi
6. どうして? — Dōshite?
7. Moonshine — Moonshine
8. PUZZLE — Puzzle
9. 最後の楽園 — Saigo no Rakuen
10. in the Nude (Album Version) — in the Nude (Album Version)
11. ひみつ〜perspective lovers〜 — Himitsu ~perspective lovers~

Utada Hikaru's [Credited as "Cubic U"] 1st album.

Vinnk's Take: Utada Hikaru recored this Albus when she was only 13/14 years old. In that respect it is amazing. You can see the talent that was developing. And some of the track are pretty good even without that context. Her cover of "Close to you" is really good. Worth having for Utada fans as a novelty if nothing else.

1. "My Little Lover Boy" 4:28
2. "Lullaby" 4:38
3. "How Ya Doin'" 3:05
4. "I Don't Love You" 4:51

Vinnk's Take: If you this you have any interest in Morning Musume or 90s-2000s idol pop at all, this is a must-own album. It has their early hits as well as some "golden era" stuff. There isn't really a bad track on here but the ones you will have on replay are "Love Machine" (the quintessential Morning Musume song), "Koi no Dance Site", "Happy Summer Wedding" and "Ren'ai Revolution 21". And this track was never as big a hit as the others but don't skip over "Dance Suru no Da!" its just so adorable.

Tracklist

"Love Machine" (Loveマシーン)
"Daite Hold on Me!" (抱いてHold on Me!)
"Koi no Dance Site" (恋のダンスサイト)
"Summer Night Town" (サマーナイトタウン)
"Happy Summer Wedding" (ハッピーサマーウエディング)
"I Wish"
"Ren'ai Revolution 21" (恋愛レボリューション21)
"Memory Seishun no Hikari" (Memory〜青春の光〜)
"Manatsu no Kōsen" (真夏の光線)
"Morning Coffee" (モーニングコーヒー)
"Furusato" (ふるさと)
"Say Yeah!: Motto Miracle Night" (Say Yeah!" もっとミラクルナイト)
"Dance Suru no Da!" (Danceするのだ!)
"Never Forget"
"Ai no Tane" (愛の種)

Cibo Matto - Cibo Matto (Self-titled debut EP)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-31T16:52:33+09:00

Cibo Matto is the self-titled debut EP by Cibo Matto

Vinnk's Take: I didn't even know this EP existed until fairly recently. I had their 3 main albums and loved them all. So of course I needed this for my collection. 3 of these tracks would be remade and appear on other albums but I still think it's worth picking up. Contains an insane totally out of left field Soundgarden cover sung in French (for some unknown reason). Worth the price just for that.

Track listing

1. "Beef Jerky"
2. "Birthday Cake"
3. "Know Your Chicken"
4. "Black Hole Sun" (Soundgarden Cover)
5. "Crumbs"

PSY・S (Psy-S) – EMOTIONAL ENGINE

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-31T16:42:24+09:00

EMOTIONAL ENGINE is the final album by PSY・S (Psy-S) before their disbanding. The group is made of Masaya Matsuura (who is known for making Parappa the Rapper and Vib Ribbon) and CHAKA (who had a very successful solo career)

Vinnk's Take: I love this album. It opens strong with CHAKA's vocals on "Power Stone" continues with uptempo tracks like "Be with you" (linked below) but the album also goes with some slower and even instrumental tracks. It is sad that this is their final album, but I think they went out with a bang.

Track listing

1. Power Stone
2. Believe in Music
3. be with YOU (Album Mix)
4. Sign
5. 魔法のひとみ (Album Mix)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-31T16:40:09+09:00

Two Hearts is the 1st greatest hits album by the Japanese progressive pop duo PSY・S. The group is made of Masaya Matsuura (who is known for making Parappa the Rapper and Vib Ribbon) and CHAKA (who had a very successful solo career)

Vinnk's Take: Great starting point if you are curious about PSY-S and their sound. This is the first of their albums I heard and what hooked me. Well to be honest an internet search for Parappa the Rapper introduced me to the band, but this album made me a fan.

Track listing

1. Woman・S (New Version)
2. 電気とミント (MOVIE‑MIX)
3. Friends or Lovers (New Mix)

the brilliant green - Los Angeles

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-31T16:16:00+09:00

Los Angeles is the 3rd album by the brilliant green.

Vinnk's Take: Probably my favorite album by the brilliant green. I actually discovered the brilliant green after Tomoko Kawase's solo work as Tommy February 6. And while this album is a lot more of a rock than pop album it shares a lot of the same DNA. "Kuroi Tsubasa", "Hello Another Way -それぞれの場所-", and "angel song -イヴの鐘-" are all fantastic.

Track listing

1. THE LUCKY STAR ☆☆☆
2. YEAH I WANT YOU BABY
3. angel song -イヴの鐘-
4. サヨナラ summer is over
5. ヒドイ雨
6. ☆FALLING STAR IN YOUR EYES

Love Psychedelico ‎– Love Psychedelico III

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-31T16:13:32+09:00

Love Psychedelico III is (obviously) the 3rd album by the folk/Psychedelic rock group Love Psychedelico.

Vinnk's Take: Love Psychedelico III is just a super groovy album. The group leaned even harder into the 60s/70s sound to great effect. Just listen to "Everybody needs somebody" and the ballad "Hadaka no Ōsama（裸の王様)". Man.. I'm going to listen to album again right now. Highly recommended.

Tracklist:

1. Everybody needs somebody
2. Mind across the universe
3. My last fight
4. all over love
5. Happiness
6. I am waiting for you
7. fleeing star
8. 裸の王様

Utada Hikaru (宇多田ヒカル) - Final Distance [EP]

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-31T16:07:56+09:00

Final Distance is an EP by Utada Hikaru

Vinnk's Take: If you look at my site you will see that nearly every CD I list is a full album rather than singles or EPs. This is because, that how I buy CDs. I like Albums. But this is one of the exceptions. "Final Distance" is easily one of Utadas best songs. And I was surprised by that because it is a remix. The original song (also found on the CD) is an upbeat pop song, but this mix slows it down and makes it something totally different. It's emotional, powerful, beautiful and... well I just love it. It was later put on her next album "Deep River" but this EP contains several version including an m-flo remix not found anywhere else so in my opinion, this CD belongs in every Hikaru Utada collection. It's actually a bit of a debate in my house. I love "Final Distance" but my daughter firmly believes the original song is the better version. Luckily they are both on the CD so you can decide for yourself. Music video is linked below.

Track listing

1. FINAL DISTANCE – 5:40
2. DISTANCE – PLANITb Remix – 6:16
3. DISTANCE – m-flo Remix – 5:57
4. DISTANCE (Original) – 5:42
5. DISTANCE (Original Karaoke) – 5:42

Yoko Kanno (菅野よう子) - Song to Fly

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-31T15:55:48+09:00

Song to Fly is an experimental album by Yoko Kanno (菅野よう子) collaborating with many international artists.

Vinnk's Take: I know Yoko Kanno from Cowboy Bebop and her other anime work. Great stuff, some of the best soundtracks ever. But this album was made by giving her total freedom not tied down to any soundtrack. It's wild, free‑form, imaginative and totally wonderful. It has become on of my favorite of her albums. I linked "Atomic Bird", it's so good. Give it a listen.

Track listing

1. Atomic Bird
2. Reunion
3. Next Time
4. ABC Mouse Parade

Hayashibara Megumi (林原めぐみ) - VINTAGE S

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-29T00:07:21+09:00

Vintage S is a compilation album by Megumi Hayashibara that came out in 1996.

Vinnk's Take: I'm not going to lie, I bought this album for the anime songs. I was a big Slayers fan in college. But there is nothing wrong with that. Anime music is usually pretty good. This is a nice compilation of some of her anime work mixed with some original tracks. It kind of represents the turning point of when she went for just an Anime song artist to a "serious" artists (who continued to do anime songs.

Tracklist

1. Give a Reason — 4:28
2. infinity∞ — 4:31
3. Going History — 4:34
4. Until Strawberry Sherbet — 5:01
5. Midnight Blue — 5:35

Genki Rockets - Genki Rockets I: Heavenly Star (CD + DVD Limited Edition) /with slipcover

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-28T19:02:55+09:00

Genki Rockets - Genki Rockets I: Heavenly Star is the debut album by virtual J‑pop/electropop music project Genki Rockets

Vinnk's Take: Genki rockets is a project by Game Designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi (Space Channel 5, Rez, Lumines) and music producer Kenji Tamai. And it is amazing. I first heard Genki Rockets music in Lumines and then in the Japanese version of No More Heroes (I heard some of the music was cut for the US release). It is electronic pop with what we would describe now as a virtual Idol. Even though all vocals were performed by a real and very talented human, there was amazing world building for the singer described as "a fictional 17-year-old girl named Lumi who was the first human born in outer space on the International Space Station". All that aside, the music is fantastic and so are the videos on the DVD. I have linked one below. I love this group, but see for yourself if you dig it.

Track list:
1. "Prologue: Earth Rise" 1:45
2. "Breeze" 3:28
3. "Smile" 4:23
4. "Star Line" 3:59
5. "Heavenly Star" 3:58
6. "Intermediate: Orbit Swimming" 3:13
7. "I Will" 4:17
8. "Star Surfer" 4:37
9. "Never Ever" 4:34
10. "Fly!" 4:31
11. "Star Line (Japanese Version)" 4:00
12. "Breeze: Summer Afternoon Mix" 4:31
13. "Breeze: Star Breeze Mix" 5:28

DVD

1. "Heavenly Star (Music Clip)" 4:00
2. "Breeze (Music Clip)" 3:56

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-28T16:32:18+09:00

Uchi no 3 Shimai DS (うちの3姉妹DS) I am not going to lie, I am not at all familiar with the anime series this mini-game collection is based off of. But I was surprised by the amount of voice acting in the game and it must have done very well because it got 2 sequels.

Crysis 2 (クライシス2) [Full English version on Disc]

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-28T16:25:22+09:00

Crysis 2 (クライシス2) is a sequel to the great looking FPS Crysis. I am not really into shooters much but my friends who are say this one is good. It sure looks good. Full English version on disc.

The game has been tested in a Japanese Xbox 360 and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. Make sure that you have the necessary hardware to run Japanese Xbox 360 games before buying. Region coding on the 360 is a bit odd, it is neither all region free or all region locked. Publishers could choose to lock their games or not (Many are region free!). I do not have a US or PAL 360 to test games so I can make no claims to their compatibility, but there are many list on the internet, such as this one: https://gaming.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_region-free_Xbox_360_video_games Again, I cannot vouch for their accuracy only that the game works perfectly in a JPN 360.

World World World is the 4rd studio album by Asian Kung-Fu Generation

Vinnk's Take: There is a lot of competition but this is probably my favorite Asian Kung-Fu Generation album art. Both the front and back comers are awesome. As for the album, it's best known for "After Dark" because it was a Bleach song. And it's a great track.

hitomi - Traveler (CD+DVD 1st print edition)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-28T11:38:19+09:00

Traveler is the 7th album by hitomi.

Vinnk's Take: I didn't actually listen to this album much until recently. It came out during the time I was back in the States finishing university so I didn't have the thrill of lisening to this one when it was new. That's too bad because as I have been discovering, this is a great album. You have rocking tracks like "Speed Star" and ballads like "Kokoro no Tabibito" that really show off hitomi's maturing voice talent. Don't make the mistake I did and overlook this one.

Track listing

1. "Comodón Johnson"
2. "Speed Star"
3. "Shiawasette, Nan desu ka? (シアワセッテ、ナンデスカ?)"
4. "Anti (ア・ン・チ)"
5. "Hikari (ヒカリ)"
6. "Steady"
7. "Kaze no Message (風の伝言)"
8. "Like A Free Bird"
9. "Status (ステータス)"
10. "Kokoro no Tabibito (心の旅人)"
11. "Moment"

DVD

1. "Kokoro no Tabibito (心の旅人)"
2. "Speed Star"

The Pillows - OOPARTS (CD + DVD limited edition)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-28T11:34:01+09:00

OOPARTS is the 16th studio album by The Pillows.

Vinnk's Take: This album was billed as a 20th anniversary album at the time. When a lot of Japanese groups break up before reaching 5 years, this is pretty amazing. Overall a great album, I recommend “YOUR ORDER,” “FOXES,” and “Lemon Drops.” The Your Order video is linked below. If you like the Pillows, you will like this album, it is kinda quintessentially who they are.

Tracklist:

1. Dance with God
2. YOUR ORDER
3. メロディー (Melody)
4. Lemon Drops
5. FOXES
6. Beyond the moon
7. ジョニー・ストロボ (Johnny Strobe)
8. 雨上がりに見た幻 (A Vision Seen After the Rain)
9. LIFE SIZE LIFE (The bag is small, and I don't enter)
10. Primer Beat

DVD contains the video for Your Order

Galaga (ギャラガ)

Japan Retro Direct — 2026-08-28T11:26:02+09:00

Galaga (ギャラガ) is a sequel to the arcade hit Galaxian which itself was an attenpt to rip off Space Invaders. But Galaga is where the series really starts to branch off on it's own.

Mah-Jong (麻雀) a lot of people will overlook this game when collecting early Famicom games (1983-1984) or worse they buy it for display but never try it out. Mahjong is a great game and once you take the time to learn the rules of Mahjong you suddenly have hundreds of Japanese import games you can now play.
