Nelories 1990 demo reissue
A new US label Fish Prints are reissuing Nelories' pre-Sugarfrost demo on limited cassette and also digitally.
This really is phenomenal!
Complete with original cover design by Jun de Nelorie. This is a release of pure love, the label's enthusiasm moved me!

Frosty 16 sold out
Venus Peter / Love Parade split 7" single, the first of Sugarfrost Project from 2014, has sold out in April. That was the release realised by urge and passion, with hand-printed sleeve.
There's always a pleasure and feel of accomplishment of some little scale when you put SOLD OUT on the catalogue:)
Thank you everyone who bought that special piece of vinyl! (And thank you Graeme Elston, who gave me the push for this project.)
RIP Wataru Okabe
A very sad news...
Wataru Okabe, the jolly drummer of our B-flower, passed away totally unexpectedly on 13 January. We are at a loss what to make of it still.
Last week, we were checking available dates for their Tokyo gig later this year. It was going to be supported by The Laundries. This was going to be a big event.
Not any more.
I'm not going to list everything they had planned for this year. But there were loads. Of course, this won't be the end of it all. But no doubt they will need some time to recover from the loss, and don't know how long that will take. Because they lost a good friend, not just a member of the band.
Okabe-san, thank you so much for being a part of a Sugarfrost band B-flower. You will remain on vinyl for ever.
