This post was originally posted on Reddit here. You cannot embed video there, so this post exists as sort of an alternative. As a reminder, Saturdays are for showcasing three music videos with excellent concepts and a one that's particularly bad. Please note that the videos are better resolution if you open them in a new screen.
Life uh, finds a way.
The AJMR is now a mod over in /r/Japanesemusic on Reddit. Content will be distributed through Reddit, Tumblr, and Flickr, so this is the place where it all comes together. Please just disregard any news posts prior to this. I want them as a record, so eventually they will just get bumped off the front page.

June update
Alrighty - been a bit quiet around here, so what's going on?
First of all, we decided that the set-up was just not going to work long term. We have moved all of our news to Tumblr, as you can see by our new feed on the left. News used to be in this section, but it will not be anymore. However, the old posts are staying but will be pushed down by random blog updates. It'll make things look cleaner.
Secondly, we've plumped up our Flickr account containing our large collection of promotional material, fliers, and newspaper/magazine ads & press articles. Originally, we were just going to photograph our collection but realized that scanning them is much better. Some items up there are pictures but those will be phased out soon. Please take a look!
Lastly, The AJMR book list is almost done. We were able to get access to materials while on a trip to New York and so we're taking extra time to view and analyze our material.

[Site news] The AJMR is happy to announce that we've begun to upload our flier collection to Flickr. It'll take us a while to get them up all up and tagged, so please keep coming back to it!
