Welcome back to another installment of our monthly release schedule! Once again, and for the final time this year, we’ve tracked down as many of the upcoming J-rock releases that we could find in December. And, right now is a good time to get your CDJapan orders together, because they’re running a holiday special between now and December 15. They’re offering shoppers extra rewards points for orders that total 3000 yen (earns 300 points) or more! The bigger the total the greater the rewards. So look over the list and add whatever piques your interests to you Christmas wishlist!
Happy Holidays; see you next year!
