Denpa collection for sale!

UPDATE 2019-09-28: SOLD!!! Watch this space for an eventual online project which may feature parts of this collection. Thanks again to EVERYONE who contacted me, whether for a few CDs or the whole thing, or just to drop some kind words my way. Special mention to all the denpa thread anons. Much appreciated!

Hi folks, long time no talk! I've been busy with real life stuff and although I still check into the latest denpa news every once in a while, I'm closing a big chapter in my life. I've thought about this for a long time and the day has finally come: I'm selling my denpa collection! Of course I'm doing this to fuel my untappd addiction to put my kids through college (yes, that'll do), but I'd like to think someone out there will really enjoy owning these CDs rather than them just staying in the closet for another 5 years.

Named by yours truly, now yours to own!

You're looking at more than 200 items from the 2007-2014 era, mainly CDs but also a fair amount of swag such as bags, books and posters too. The crown jewel is by far the Extravagantly-Extra-Equipped Edition of MOSAIC.WAV's 5th album, but there's plenty of obscure trudenpa stuff too. You have near-complete collections from Odenpa Studio, 33.turbo, ちぃむdmp☆, Holic Service, Birdtune, etc.

Psst... I heard you like odenpa studio?

Everything is in great-to-mint condition, with the overwhelming majority of items still being sealed. A few of them have cracked cases (very minor), mostly due to shipping from Japan. Almost all of these were bought directly at Comiket/M3/you name it.

プチリズム fullset!

I've inventoried every single item in this handy Google sheet, including closeup pictures and links to the best source of information I could find about each item. I can absolutely take more pictures or provide more details on request.

Now regarding price. Shit man, I don't know. What I do know is it will probably cost a buttfuck and a half to ship this stuff over to your place. All items are located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in case you can do local pickup. Otherwise, I want to say I am flexible and open to offers and I am neither expecting a couple hundred nor a couple thousands dollars. But.... somewhere in between.

"And now for my next number, I'd like to return to the classics"

M3-2013秋: おでんぱ☆スタジオ, PlasticGarden*, Plissh, ぷらいむまりぃ, りこ。, しなもんしゅがー, Zero-Shaft

Odenpa's back for their 9th single 「びっ栗☆秋味ふぇあ」, still sticking to their guns with their unique brand of original denpa sound. ベイビー･レモネード and ひろて～ are of course in charge of the music while the girls sing in their cutest voice about chestnuts, squirrels and gobbling up long mushrooms. Finally something the whole family can enjoy! 安倍ようこ reprises her role as マリアンヌ for the third time in a row, so there's definitely some solid chemistry with the rest of the crew. Two new tracks and a radio episode are included.

Here's an interesting openly-denpa compilation album from PlasticGarden* which matches all kinds of vocalists with top-of-the-line composers that you know and love. 塚越雄一朗 is everywhere these days, and I'm not complaining! He even provides some funky vocals here. The actual singers come from all walks of life, for example くろねこ is probably better known for her "death loli" persona. 小鳥遊まこ and 星名優子 also seem new to the genre (despite years of doujin activity) so I'm really glad to see new girls trying out this crazy denpa stuff. As for ほのか, you'll remember her for her mini-album 「HEROINES」 which I really hope gets a full-length sequel. Major kudos to らいね who not only sings on two tracks, but also wrote all lyrics and produced the album by herself! Those who enjoyed the Highend Color compilation should really be putting Parallel Honey on their shopping list, boths comps give me the same "alternative" feeling. Seven new tracks included.

We've been remiss in our Plissh coverage up until now, with the ゆるゆる unit already on to its 4th CD 「Pretty&Sugger」. Previous releases include the 2011 debut mini-album 「mocomoco」, then 「merry go round」 and finally 「Be Happy」 which came out a year ago. 日向ももこ and りこ。 provide vocals and most lyrics, while their staffer selection usually revolves around regulars such as 後方一気, しの and RitsMatt. It's good positive music to be sure, check it out if you need a bit of a kick in your life! Five new tracks included.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... before 愛原圭織 joined forces with 桃箱 on a quest for sexy loli denpa: there was ぷらいむまりぃ. It was good... and it will continue to be good, for 愛原圭織 and 真野綾 have reunited after a hiatus of more than 3 years in order to release the fifth ぷらいむまりぃ mini-album 「おとめちっく×あわー」. Contrarily to ちぃむｄｍｐ☆, this is more on the sweet pop tip, with just a bit of rock and electro elements thrown in for good measure. If you're just catching up, you'll be happy to know that their three previous releases will all be sold at M3, they held up pretty well over the years too. It's nice to see that some composers such as やまみのり have stayed by their side since day one. Four new tracks included.

Little りこ。 has worked so hard over the years and her efforts have finally paid off! She's about to take us on a cosmic trip to her private universe on 「星屑のポルテ」, her first full-vocal album. Now you've heard her endearing little voice on various Zero-Shaft albums and of course as one half of Plissh, but this is something a little more personal as she wrote most lyrics herself and planned the whole thing custom-made. There's a few slower tunes so if you're into tender ballads you'll be pleased, but there's more than enough snappier songs for the rest of us. Ten new tracks included.

M3-2012秋 part 2: Zero-Shaft, なゆ, 33.turbo, 藤原鞠菜 +more!

The M3-2012秋 doujincore group import is over, but that doesn't mean we can't report on newly-announced albums! Many of these should be available on online stores in the near future.

First, let's take a look at an exciting new series from Zero-Shaft! "Princess Vocal Collection" sounds like a follow-up to THEiDOLST@GE, which hasn't seen releases since last year's 「My Voice」. Sure enough, it features recurring vocalists, but this time the delivery is slightly different. Instead of a stand-alone album featuring many singers, Zero-Shaft is giving everyone their own single! Pretty cool and not too hard on the wallet at 500円 each. Vol. 1, 2 and 3 feature 天城あくる, ゆきまめ and なゆ respectively, great way to launch the series! Ideally these would be compiled on one disc in the future, until then we'll look forward to the next volumes! ななひら and 桃箱 please!

Speaking of Our Queen なゆ, make way for her grandiose debut album 「なゆきんぐだむ」! She rounded up a bunch of her friends on vocals (such as ななひら and 彩) and enlisted legendary composers (talking bout 吉田省吾, task, しの and Good Guy きくお!!!) to make sure her loyal subjects talk about this one for years to come. Almost every song is a collaboration of some kind, especially the last one which features all singers together! Although it prominently displays the spectacular jacket artwork, the website currently doesn't offer a crossfade. But you know what... I'm not exactly worried anyway! It's a なゆ　album, I need this in my life!!!

Update 10/27/2012: Samples are up! Intense and high-quality music as expected!

The seventh (already?) 33.turbo mini-album is titled 「Dempa de Dance」 and it launched with a funny PV! This unit has been ramping up production values lately and as a result, this mini-album feels more focused. 500円 gets you 5 new songs and some seriously sweet artwork. Their website has samples for four of the five songs, so check them out!



Honestly, 藤原鞠菜 is pretty awesome and I feel bad for not mentioning her as often as I should have in the past. She started singing 10 years ago, but these days she's mostly known for her IOSYS collaborations, both on Touhou arranges and TV anime OP themes. Cool! She also did some voice work for... Microsoft, in an Internet Explorer 8 PV. Not cool.

Still, what's really relevant to this site's readers is her original albums with none other than TONAKAI sound works! Yes, 磯村カイ of Love Bullets fame. If you miss the GWAVE unit (they haven't released anything in two years) then you'll love Wisteria Magic. You're in for a treat because they've already released 「キミトマホウノヒビキ」, 「SUPER MARINA WORLD」, 「まりテツ！」 and soon *drumroll* 「SUPER MARINA WORLD2」! By the way, you can order all these albums off amazon.jp in case you miss them at M3.



Here's something new and somewhat mysterious! From circle "りょーかとゆかいな仲間たち" comes their (first?) album 「虹色スペクトル」. It's all very fuzzy, but from what I can gather we have 真泉涼夏 on vocals and this dude 虹関数 composed a few songs. Rainbows everywhere! Kenji (Sound;GEAR) also seems like a close collaborator. In any case, this sounds a bit rough around the edges (in a punk rock kind of way) but very exciting nonetheless! Fast songs, smooth songs, passionate vocals and lovely artwork. 300円 for 7 songs is completely outrageous, must GET!

Watch out, here comes しなもんしゅがー☆! I found out about this self-proclaimed denpa singer sometime ago (maybe even last year) but she didn't actually have any music at the time. Back in July 2012 she released her first single 「裏表シンデレラ」 along with samples on her myspace account. This is also rough around the edges, but honestly pretty damn good! These silly tracks kind of remind me of 33.turbo musically with a bit of とろ美's attitude for good measure. This girl seems like she'd drink anyone under the table, anytime. Wouldn't mind hearing more like this!
