Vancouver 1992
my bloody valentine's Vancouver 1992 arrives as a 2LP red-vinyl edition on The Bauhaus Label. It presents the full set in the running order and form of the original broadcast, preserving the raw shape of the 1992 live performance — a hot ticket overseas.
HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
Billie Eilish's third studio album, restocked in September as a limited eco-yellow vinyl in very short supply. Moving between pop, alternative and electronics, it balances softness and impact — another bold expansion of her artistry.
シン・仮面ライダー 音楽集
The soundtrack to Shin Kamen Rider, Hideaki Anno's 50th-anniversary tribute to the franchise, which set a series box-office record after its 2023 release. Issued for the first time on 3LP vinyl in 2025, it collects all 44 cues in the film, from brand-new songs to classics beloved since 1971.
MY FIRST KARIE
The dreamlike voice of '90s Shibuya-kei, Kahimi Karie, gets her three early works on vinyl for the first time. Her 1995 major-label debut MY FIRST KARIE — with Cornelius (Keigo Oyamada), Katerine and Tomoki Kanda — features 'ELASTIC GIRL' and the camera-commercial song 'ZOOM UP!', cementing her soft, faintly seductive sound.
LARME DE CROCODILE
Her 1996 third mini-album, featuring 'Humming ga Kikoeru', the Chibi Maruko-chan theme from many people's childhoods. Co-produced by Kahimi Karie and Cornelius with overseas collaborators Momus and Katerine, and including the Morinaga Hi-Chew jingle 'LE ROI SOLEIL' — a key step toward a wider audience.
温故知新
Showa-era pop meets ska! Onko Chishin, hand-selected by Eiji Kanno, comes to vinyl. With dub linchpin Kazufumi Kodama plus star guests Ken Yokoyama, BONNIE PINK and Miyuki Hatakeyama, it reimagines Showa classics through gorgeous authentic Japanese ska/dub arrangements.
Heavy Rocks
Boris's 2002 Heavy Rocks, the band's first full plunge into stoner rock. Sludge, noise, stoner rock and hardcore melt together into something brutal, roaring and propulsive. Japan-only on CD at the time, it wasn't pressed to vinyl until Third Man Records' 2023 edition.
Her second mini-album from the same year, conceived as the soundtrack to a fictional film 'starring' Kahimi Karie, with Cornelius as music director and Yasuharu Konishi among the contributors. From a Serge Gainsbourg cover to duets with Monsieur Kamayatsu and Masatoh Ibu, it's cinematic and playful; the vinyl adds the original bonus track and the 8cm single 'GOOD MORNING WORLD'.
