1000s of Catsによるポッドキャスト。A podcast by the band 1000s of Cats.
There's so much news to talk about this episode so let's start with the good news. We have three shows coming up in September 12th Friday at Niman Denatsu. That's in Higashi Koenji. Saturday September 13th and Shinjuku Underground Azuto 1224. The first time playing there. Monday September 15th at Koenji Kiraku which is where we recorded two of the songs on our new release. So that should be cool.
And then for future shows we're going to Kyushu in October for three shows. And then in November we're going to Hokkaido.
Our new release Lightning High is finally in all the digital stores. So if you listen to music that way then it should be up and ready to listen to so go find it. And otherwise there'll be links on their website too. And then why did it take so long to get into digital stores? Like this thing came out August 2nd on cassette. But it took a month for digital and that's because of languages. Like our release has both Japanese and English songs on it. And there's more Japanese than English on the release so when I submitted it I set the language as Japanese. And almost all those stores were okay with that. But one store kept rejecting it. Like they can't have Japanese on their store for some reason. I don't know why. So I resubmitted the album as an English album even though most of the songs are in Japanese. And then all the stores accepted it. So it's not cool but at least it's in all the stores now.
And then more good news is if you want to buy the release like the physical cassette. It's available in stores all over Japan right now. And if you want to buy it online you can get it over at Bandcamp. And then if you buy a cassette you get download code too with it. So that's good.
Now for some weird news. So if you are not in the USA we can send you a cassette directly. If you are in the USA we can't. Like right now the Japanese post office is not shipping small commercial packages to America. We are waiting to see if that situation changes. Probably sometime this week. And if it doesn't change then we are going to end up sending a box of cassettes. Like a big box. Minneapolis Limited will distribute them to people in the US for us. So that's going to take like a week or two to figure that all out. So it will happen but just be patient because things are crazy right now with the post office.
Also there is an explanation about that situation on the Bandcamp page. Like tariffs suck and the people causing this situation. Total pain in the ass. So we are not going to raise prices on stuff for just people in the US. Because it's not fair to American Indian music fans. Thanks for listening and subscribing.
