Japan Month continues. You may have first experienced The Young Ones from the excellent Chloroform comp on Mangrove from 1996 and possibly gotten their "Fear" 7" from 1999. You might know that bassist Azumi has been playing with The Raydios since 2007 and drummer Suzuki since 2012. The Young Ones were part of the last wave of good, legitimately punk Japanese bands before everything melted into pop.
This CD-only release was pretty elusive. Run by Masa from Cock Scratch (!!!), Private Ways, and Small Speaker, Needle Records releases for the most part did not leave Japan. I think I bought this from Japanese-American label Nice & Neat a long time ago.
