CD still rules the land of Japan, but idol CD singles are king. Today we explore how the country that gave us the Walkman didn’t have major artists on Spotify until 2019. We also catch up on some recent shows today and Phill reveals his painful injury suffered at the hands of View From The Soyuz. Then go digging for some rare Japanese hardcore, punk, and more on Den6’s YouTube channel!

Dan’s favorite albums on Den6:

• Umbrage - Demo
• Element - 残像
• Switch Style - Self Titled
• Extinguish The Fire - No Emancipation Eternal Suffering
