I previously mentioned the Chloroform comp that introduced a lot of people to the lesser known Japanese bands of the mid-90s. Ad Vice is sort of a follow up with a bunch of new bands from the next mini era of the early 2000s. This comp was of particular interest because I believe it has the first recordings from Firestarter with Fifi, Fink, and Sammy reunited for the first time since Teengenerate.
After that you get Intimate Fags, which were kind of a continuation from Cock Scratch, who had a run of domestic releases on Rip Off Records. Radio Shanghai has its fans and pushed things in the pop/wave direction. Zymotics were a continuation of Bou Sou Nezumi, who had a well-regarded scuzz garage 7" from 1996 and were also on the A World Full Of Friends comp LP on Repent Records from 1997. Lastly is Private Ways, which continues in the pop/wave direction with Radio Shanghai.
