Dancing After 1AM - Kyushu release tour January 2013

One of the notable features of the Dancing After 1AM compilation was that it was well supported by artists from Kyushu, with five bands in total from the westernmost of Japan's main islands contributing tracks.

Dancing After 1AM gets some love from Tsutaya

Yukari from Kobayashi Dorori found this display in her local branch of the video and CD store Tsutaya in Kumamoto, so thanks to them for pushing it like that. It looks like the other albums on the display are Drugorbaseball by MacManaman, who also feature on DA1AM, and 51 Records' compilation/split album Underrated, featuring Lillies & Remains, Sekaitekina Band and Purple. All in all rather nice company to be in.
