Cockc' Nell - Live In ヤネウラ 81.10
Effectively, another bootleg but this was given away for free (what?) if you bought something else from the label in a few record shops in Tokyo.
CDr passed on by Cragale.

Cock c' Nell - Live in Shibuya Yaneura 1980.10.07
This is a bit of a mystery given that I can't find any mention of it anywhere on t'web. It's made the more odd by the fact that the label spent it's time bootlegging extremely mainstream artists, so what they were doing dipping their digits into obscure Japanese territory is anybody's guess. Anyway, it's yours if you want it.
Released on Ze Anonym Plattenspieler at some point.

Cockc' Nell - Boys Tree
The line-up is doubled to eight on this release and includes Tori Kudo. Originally a 12" from 1986, this is considerably more polished than the original single. Not a surprise given the five years that have passed ... this remastered edition also has a bonus track.
CD inevitably released on いぬん堂 [Inundow] in 2002.

Cockc' Nell - Kokushineru
Who you may ask?
I say, you no longer have to ask.
So stop asking then.
This has the Dodo rare 7" released on Pinakotheca Records from 1981 (with the brilliant violinist Yasuo Kojima). To be honest, that would be enough but you also get another nine live tracks.
That'll be a good thing then?
If in doubt, don't ask.
CD released on the increasingly indispensable いぬん堂 [Inundow] in 2002.

Children Coup d'Etat - Shiva Of Barbeque / Technepas
Now, this Children Coup d'Etat may be the last that I will ever be able to post. I obviously hope not but if it is ... what a way to go out. A truly delirious and beautiful thing for the brain to behold!
7" released on Public Bath in 1992.

Harpy - Do Not Eat
More brain dislocation for the Radio Gnomes who sailed out too far and found out that the Earth isn't flat ... it's a helix. Sorry to break it to you like that.
CD on Stupeur & Trompette! in 1997.

Harpy - Speech On The Radio
The heart of Harpy is Kenichi Ito (who was in Aburadako) and Kyoko (who was in Kokushoku Elegy and OOIOO). This is a warped blend of Zappa anti-jazz and funk-punk orchestrated by lunatics on children's toys. And then there is the wonderful vocals of Kyoko coming across as a more weird Kate Bush with echoes of Elizabeth Fraser and Laetitia Sadier.
CD on Stupeur & Trompette! in 1999.

Nikudan - Nikudan
I spent quite a while surgically removing some big pops and crackles from this ... given the age and the format, it sounds great!
7" flexi disc courtesy of Lucky Strike Records in 1983.

Nikudan / Gas - Hunter Diary / Spirit World
Gas sometimes steer too close to the metal edge for my liking but just about pull it off with some decent hardcore post-punkery. Human Bullet are obviously great.
8" EP released on Jisatsu Rēberu in 1984.

Nikudan - Nikudan
Let's face it, you would probably download this on the basis of the cover alone ... but ... your entry point is early Pere Ubu, Dead Kennedys cowpunk and a Buttholes bass bounce. As usual, there seems to be little recorded evidence of their existence with only a tiny handful of releases from 1983-4.
CD retrospective released on いぬん堂 [Inundow] in 2002.
In the spirit of dreaming the impossible dream, the label simultaneously released a CD of live recordings ... never seen it but hearing it would be good!

Kokushoku Elegy - Esoderic Mania
The guitar of Ichiro Shitakiri, bass of Koichi (who were both in Nikudan) and the drums of Yasuyuki would normally be good enough. But, when you add in the voice of Kyoko? Seriously, you are in a different league! Exemplary post-punk band that appear to have existed between 86 and 89 and only released three 12"s ... the supercharged Banshees influence is obvious but it's so much more than that. This collects together all of their vinyl with some compilation tracks. It's a very good and rare thing.
CD released on SSE Communications in 1993.

Children Coup d'Etat - Masochistic Instruments
I seriously thought that I would never get to hear this. Then, an anonymous genius dropped this into the comments of a recent post. Mind = Blown.
So just in case you missed it, here's this magnificent CD released on Bloody Butterfly in 1991.

Gaseneta - Gaseneta
Another unearthed gem. Recorded live at Meiji University, Tokyo in the Spring of 1978.
7" released on Super Fuji Discs in 2017.

Toshiharu Ohsato - Takaranetanchototakaine
Toshiharu Ohsato is one of the people behind Gaseneta and Taco and that entire orbit of what? This only tells half of the tale ... the list of collaborators on here is ridiculously impressive but I don't have the time to explain. It took me days to tag this so you either trust me or you are here by accident.
A massively impressive and unexpected five CD retrospective released on Super Fuji Discs in 2011. There is a one hour DVD that came with this set but I don't have that ... sorry.

Cassiber with Shinoda Masami - Live In Tokyo
The first disc is the titular outfit recorded live at R's Art Court in Tokyo on October the 23rd, 1992.
The second disc is the event reworked and remixed by the full force of Ground Zero.
This has so many unpredictably poignant intercepting timelines that it beggars belief. Cassiber were an excellent German avant-garde improv/jazz/rock/skronk band and this is the first time that toured in Japan ... and they called it a day very soon after this recording and ceased operations. Here, they are joined by Masami Shinoda. Within a few months of the recording, he unexpectedly died. This also the final time that Ground Zero recorded anything before dissolving and going their separate ways. You couldn't make it up. Monumental in so many ways.
Double CD originally released on Off Note in 1997.
