That's ok, Rick. To each they're own. It's classic 'Dead,' to me.

Here's another. Maybe you'll like it better.

Sorry, Rick. Didn't see your post until after I posted this song.

And just by the way. My most favorite of his: Lionel Richie - Say You, Say Me.

These aren't coming through for me, No one, but thanks for posting the names. Makes them easy to look up.

You are welcome! This is exactly what I provide the artist and song names for. Yet strange those aren't available to you: are you using a VPN/anonymizer?

No, I am not.

Sometimes certain vids/songs just don't cross over because of legal reasons; copyrights, etc.

Edit: BTW, here's part or your post from my end:

They share those reasons usually. Why would a US (poster names look pretty "official") clip be unavailable in US? This is what I meant by "strange".

Checked your recent unavailable post here (I see exactly what you've quoted as "from my end:"). No sign of an explanation on YouTube. Well, let it be a "technical" issue then.

I'm assuming from your car (F21 118i) you are not from the US, so some vids/songs you view on YouTube in your country may have legal limitations over here (US).

Also, this is what I see (screenshot) when I view your "unavailable post" link. It's not the same thing you see, right?

Yes, of course: if we had it all the same there would've been no issues on our "sides" as the "side" would be effectively the same. I just presume what I post here is rather in your country so it looks weird I can see it while you can't.

Never mind, even if a link fails to work it can be "traced" to YouTube (the link itself can be opened there) to see the content description and look up an alternative representation. To make it even simpler and save you the burden, I include the clip name/description right here "just in case" so that you can decide if you need more than just that and search by it if you do.

Thank you very much, good sir.

Don't think it's a technical issue, I think it's a legal issue. From country to country.

I've just changed my YouTube "location" to US and the link you complained of still works. They "think" too much/hard about that, apparently.

I never complained about anything. I'm good.

Someone please 'splain to this guy what's going on.

I give up.

You really have to follow the artists (on Twitter) to keep up with releases or look for used CDs down the line. The cost isn't too bad for me since we don't have any extra taxes or customs fees here, provided I'm shipping more than a couple of CDs at once. The important thing is that releases are generally obtainable if in stock.

For the most part, the easiest way to buy things is through a proxy service. I recommend DEJAPAN for this. Their base fee is only 100 yen per listing and they're quick to order and package and ship (generally within a few hours, always within 24). I've ordered hundreds of items through them over a dozen+ shipments and never had an issue. https://www.dejapan.com/en/

If you aren't familiar with ordering from Japan in general or want to consider other options, check out my guide here: https://meramifan.wordpress.com/guide/. It's focused on doujin music/CDs, but can be applied all the same for indie and commercial music. Particularly useful if you're looking to collect used CDs, as I cover that in great detail.

I would say it's a positive trend that more and more Japanese artists are releasing their works in digital formats as well, but I prefer CD (which is still the dominant media type there). I've gone as far as DMing artists to coordinate online orders, in-person purchases at events (through a friend in Japan), and even sending money directly... Definitely an addiction and obsession.

I recognize Unlucky Morpheus--they started out as a doujin circle. They seem to be more focused on their traditional band/commercial-minded side now, but they have a number of other CDs as well. Mostly 東方Project (Touhou Project) arrangements. See my guide above for more info if you're looking to collect their old CDs. Most of them should be easy to find, although not cheap.

The song I linked in the comment you quoted has a CD release (and is in stock): https://tower.jp/item/5226644/%E3%82...82%B5%E3%82%B9. The song below is also on this CD.

Thanks a lot for the info. The cd's that I have sourced from Japan have all cost AU$50-70, which were by Band-Maid who have international distribution. I'm hearing more and more on youtube which is where I learned about these bands in the first place. I'm with you with getting a physical cd for your money, a digital download is just data on a hard drive.

YYZ, what does that mean? "Probably some new term for marijuana" LOL. I love the attention to detail, how the band animations perfectly match the music. Kind of like Dethklok in Metalocolypse.
