We’ve got a lot of new music to get through this episode. Porno Graffiti has a new track called “2012Spark.” Chatmonchy’s back with a new theme song for an anime about a roman architect who travels through time to a modern day Japanese bath house. It’s crazy! I’ve also got a new track (and a really old track) from L’arc en Ciel.

I mention in the episode that Japan Nite is coming up. If you live in Austin, TX, you’re about a month away from the annual Japan Nite showcase at SXSW. The subsequent tour will hit New York, Chicago, San Francisco, L.A., and Las Vegas. For full details, check out the official Japan Nite 2012 site.
