Are personal end of the year lists still a thing? Anyone else working on them?

I could make a list but it would be something else than J-rock or VK for the most part. Well, maybe 40-50% J-rock and one VK album. It was pretty amazing year for non-rock Japanese music imo... But lists are fun to make so I'll probably do it sooner or later anyway.

If anyone ever made a movie/docu about the rise and fall of Mejibray I would watch tf out of that. Move over We Are X.

When CDJ emails you "Order #: Item Cancelled"

Anyone else here import records/LPs from Japan? Do you notice you need more weight on or needle arm to get them to play without skipping? I don't see much online about this and it's driving me nuts.

Are we talking contemporary releases or older stuff? apanese 70:s & 80:s stuff are usually fine (unless it's scratched or storage warped), but newer stuff may have problems if it's mastered the same as for a CD (for example: extreme pannings and too loud bass can cause skips).
But yeah, just fiddle around a bit with the tonearm weight and see if it gets better. I usually have mine set at +2.5 ~3g or thereabout. You'll notice it if you've set it too high if the sound starts gets distorted. Also, if you have the opportunity to adjust the height of your tonearm, you might want to look into that as well - thicker pressings (180g and above, ie. mostly 00:s and later releases) may require some adjustment.

Yeah, they're all newer releases.. and they are pop/dance and downtuned metal so lots of heavy bass for sure. I would have never thought about tonearm height being a factor. I'll see if my table has an adjustment for that, thank you.

@doomboxwhere is the start of all of this? Is there a thread? It's actually pretty funny that this came after the nice PV with the fans singing in the background though LOL
