[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!

[US & Canada]  Shonen Knife has announced a big tour and a new album called Pop Sound. Pop Sound's album art, designed by Mami Saitou, will feature a different color scheme for each release in China, Japan, and America/Europe. The American release will be done by Damnably, a label in the UK; it goes on sale June 6th both as a CD digipak and digital download. Shonen Knife's North American tour will not only bring them to both the US and Canada, but to cities and states normally ignored by Japanese touring artists - Alabama, Montana, upstate New York, and Maine. After that, they leave for Europe.
