Tokyo Jihen - Daihakken Scans


And finally, here's the booklet for the latest album. Too bad most of the english lyrics are difficult to read, due to the font. Oh well.

SWITCH June 2011 Scans


Kind of late, but I've been busy. And this edition of SWICTH magazine has a gazalion Tokyo Jihen pages. Not my favourite photoshoot, but there's some interesting stuff in there, particularly a list of the most influencial albums for each member of the band. From what I figured, it's only the ones that came to mind when describing inspiration for Daihakken.
