Happy (Belated) New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful 2018! I certainly had a great year. Some great releases were released last year, with some fantastic reissues and premiere releases from my favorite label, Cinema-kan. I was absolutely thrilled with their releases of The Naughty Prince's Orochi Slaying Original Soundtrack (CINK-51-52), Giant Monster Varan Original Soundtrack (CINK-56-57) and Space Monster Dogora Original Soundtrack (CINK-58). They released other fantastic albums last year, which are on my lengthy wish list. On the bright side, I managed to pick up some of their releases from previous years that I had been wanting. The most noteworthy of which is Daimajin Original Soundtrack (CINK-27-28-29). I'm grateful that I finally had the opportunity to pick it up, as it had been high on my wish list since it was released back in 2017.
