Playlist for 5/17/08: Japanese hardcore special

To bring the Spring 2008 semester to the end, I decided to play solely (or almost if I'm that dumb) Japanese punk and hardcore. I didn't play a handful of "crucial" Japanese bands, but that was a matter of either my own taste or how frequently I have played them in the past. Unfortunately, I could not unearth some of the track names from these releases (yes, this was done entirely from my laptop because all my records were moved out of my dorm by this time).

As you can tell, I was exceptionally lazy with typing out this playlist, but it was either this or forget about it entirely when I come back from Maryland on Tuesday. I'll be at MDF, plus my new band, Ryunosuke, will be playing first at Memorial Day Massacre (also in Baltimore). If you're in the area, come out and see us!
