Playing the best of Japanese Indies and underground (and other stuff). Music you will hear nowhere else! Mike has been fired from every Tokyo FM station at least once and some of them 4 times! I wear it as a stinky badge of honor because FM in Japan sucks so much. Tune in! Be there!

Mike Rogers:

Sheena & The Rokkets is a Japanese rock band, formed in 1978. They are one of the most popular acts in Japanese history.

In September 2007, Rolling Stone Japan rated their album Vacuum Pack number 44 on its list of the "100 Greatest Japanese Rock Albums of All Time".

The Sex Pistols "Never Mind the Bullocks" wasn't released in Japan until 1988.

I worked for Virgin Records in Japan. The Japan release wasn't until 1988. It was imported before that.

Oh, it wasn't until 1986. My bad memory.

Sorry, nearly 70 year old guys usually have a weak memory. But thanks. 1986! Nearly ten years after the release. THAT'S the point.

土曜の事で一つだけ、内緒にしてた事があります。
Avatar 5:21pm
Mike Rogers:

It's OK. Japanophile. You think that an import would sell in Japan on release date. No way. ONLY Japanese versions of music will be released on the same date as USA.... AND that is usually not the case at all. Japan usually will release a record or CD two months before an import drops. AND the Japanese release will have Japan only songs on it. I know, I also founded Tower Records Asia's label. Back in those days, Tower Records was in Japan, but the Japanese labels would not give them their records (why? It's Japan, that's why！）I don't think Tower got Japan releases until 1986 or so (But that was before my time.)

Sheena & the Rokkets = further proof that "Sheena" is a classic rock n roll name.

↳ Song: "I Feel Alright" by "the Let's Go's"
Yep, a Stooges cover. Tho they called it "1970."
  5:28pm

Certainly. The album of overseas artists in Japan was released late. There's streaming now,

I guess it's reasonable at the same time because the information is fast.

Oh! Wow! Cool.　Columbia? That's why no one knows about this record. My bad. I was wrong. I'm sorry. But Columbia releases Enka music, so no one here knows about this! But I am sorry, Japanophile!

That's true. Ask Keith Cahoon.
Avatar 5:49pm
Mike Rogers:

Keith was the president of Tower Asia. He headhunted me to start the label.　I did. We didn't even have a name then. Keith thought of the name! (Cause I kind of didn't care about small details like that). But maybe Keith would like to say he founded the label. Maybe true. But I was the first to run it and set everything up. One time, Keith told me my previous label, "Samson Records" (I didn't name that one either!) was the best selling indies label in Japan.

Thanks. No one knows shit like that like Keith does. He lived the life of a huge Record Store president for years. I was just a DJ who actually doesn't care when a record was released... Because for my work, it doesn't matter.
