Thank you so much for your uploads. You have many of my personal favorites and some very nice new (for me) names.
Special thanks for Tokyo Jihen. I “found” Shiina Ringo and Tokyo Jihen only by accident – reading an article about Anna Tsuchiya and Sakuran in The Tokyo Times this spring. Since then Shiina is r-r-roaring in my headphones most of the time. Thanks again.
Do you have any UA or Ayaka Hirahara?
Regards,
Roman.

I don’t have any Ayaka Hirahara. Sorry~! But by UA do you mean Aya Ueto?

Actually, by UA I mean UA
IMHO, she is one of the most unique talents in J-pop:
Here are couple informational links:

I bought some of her albums (ametora, turbo,”…feathers…”, golden green, breathe) and ‘Illuminate” DVD and I am still trying to find the rest.
If you are interested I can upload my stock to one of the share services of your preference. Feel free to contact me directly.
Regards,
Roman.
P.S. Pity about Ayaka. I had couple of her albums for a while (she has such a beautiful, velvet voice), but only recently I looked up her discography and almost drawned in my own saliva – now I have to find 5 more albums and 4 more DVD’s

I see~! It would be great if you could upload what you have. I’d love to feature it here, and I’m always looking for something new to listen to as well. Media Fire is my share service of choice, but whatever works the best for you is O.K. too.
I’m especially liking her quirkiness. She seems familiar, I may have listened to another song of hers before.
Oh, and sorry it took this long to reply. Usually, WordPress is pretty good about notifying me of comments, but for some reason yours didn’t show up until just now.

Oh, cool!
I was confused too – I did not see my comments and I was sure I simply forgot to click submit. “Luckily” I was busy almost the whole week cleaning my “computer” room. Since I like to use “pile managment” technique, both at work an at home, sometimes it just gets unbearable and I have to clean it up. That was the time!
Well, I am glad Ua caught your interest. She is quirky, you are right, but she is also soulfull and emotional. She gives me shiv-v-v-vers, when I watch her concert performances – there are couple DVD rips on youtube. Oh! I just remembered – here is one of my youtube “favorites” list, dedicated to UA: http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=560453A8E9DFEA9D&page=1.
As for uploads, I need to re-rip most of my stuff with better quality. One question about MediaFire – do they require to upload separate songs, or is it your preference?
Thanks you in any case for what you do. I was very glad to hear more Rurutia – she is wonderful singer.
If I am not lazy, I’ll try to contact you on google. I am not a chat person, but hey…
Regards,
Roman

“pile management technique” eh? I have something similar, except I call it organized chaos. It bothers me if someone moves something to another location because it feels like I’m lost in my own stuff (even just a pen). Heheh.
MediaFire doesn’t require separate songs, it’s just something I do because zipping files requires a person to download an entire album even if they’re looking for just a single song. I thought it’d be nicer if people could choose what they want and how to use their bandwidth. It works quite well as far as I can tell.
The only thing is, there’s a 100MB file limit per file. You could upload 10 files of 15MB each at the same time and they wouldn’t care, but if one of those files exceeded 100MB, they wouldn’t accept it. If you zip the files and they exceed the 100MB limit, feel free to use another service. I don’t mind at all. =]
Rurutia is a wonderful singer. She’s one of those great finds that makes you regret not having found her sooner.
As for google, I’m not much of a chat person either but a lot of people I know are. It’s a good way to keep in touch. You can also just send a regular e-mail. I love those. ;]

Hi there,
I was wondering if you got any of my emails (I sent them to contact.mintradio[at]gmail.com). I did some uploads to mediafire and they are waiting for you there.
Regards,
Roman.
