Let The Light Return / Johatsu

[Dac X Lee]

Returning to comment on this forum by joining the gratefulness. Thanks for the b-sides!

Been lurking here a bit.
Liking the album so far. Though I couldn't yet sit and listen in a way to give it the attention it deserves.

If anyone has a lossless rip from the Japanese CD kicking around that you wouldn't mind sharing, that would be awesome. Can trade you for lossless copies of the Japanese bonus tracks from TUVL.

Thank you FacelessSenseOfVoid. Very much appreciated

[Phil C]

That's very kind of you FacelessSenseOfVoid. Sorry to hear there's been some unpleasantness, whatever it was.

[The Gutless Wonder]

Many thanks for posting those! Look forward to listening to them.

I suspect the origin of Johatsu may come from here which seems to be the director's first version of the documentary:

Thank you! If anyone else (like me) likes to keep their digital music library nice and organised, here's the alternative artwork you can add to these songs.

I notice that on the official vinyl chart last week the Manics are no.1 and also with the single vinyl, Let The Light Return. Brilliant!

I’d need to listen to it again but that acoustic version / demo of Bag Lady sounds similar to Johatsu.

And Johatsu is also another bonus / Japanese song that should’ve been on the album

I'd love some japanese popcorn too!
