    KOENJIHYAKKEI aka Koenji Hyakkei 2xLP Kickstarter (2 Weeks Only)

    Hi Everyone -

    This is Mark of SKiN GRAFT Records writing. The band and I have just announced that we are hosting a 2 week Kickstarter campaign to try to fund a double vinyl LP of their new album "Dhorimviskha".

    You can preview 11 minutes and pre-order the album by pledging your support.

    Here is the link:
    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...p-16-days-only

    Please consider donating and spreading the word around if you are a fan of Tatsuya Yoshida, Koenji Hyakkei and/or SKiN GRAFT Records. Every pledge gets something in return - and If you don't have a record player but would still like to help, we are also offering the album on CD and as a digital download to pledgers!

    And while I'm here - thanks a lot for all of the kind words about Cheer-Accident's "Fades". Its been really gratifying to see it going over so well!

    Thanks!
    Mark Fischer (and Tatsuya Yoshida and all of Koenji Hyakkei 高円寺百景)

    moecurlythanthou, hopefully this will do better than my last Kickstarter - 0 backers for my “Three Stooges: Better With Besser!” T-Shirts! (pic attached)

    Thanks for the heads-up, Mark. I've been out of the loop for the past day or two, otherwise I'd have jumped on this sooner -- but I just kicked in a few bucks for the vinyl LP pledge on the Kickstarter.

    Hope this reaches its goal.

    Thanks a lot aith01! The campaign is off to a good start - but there is a long way to go and not a whole lot of time, so any and all help is super appreciated.

    Here is a photo to celebrate 38% funded!

    I’ve uploaded a downloadable MP3 of the eleven minute, fifty-two second "Dhorimviskha Digest” found at the top of the kickstarter page and on You Tube. It isn't an actual track from the album, but a “digest" version, mixed together from brief snippets of each of the album's seven songs.

    It can be grabbed at the old SKiN GRAFT Audio Page here:
    http://skingraftrecords.com/audio.html

    Tatsuya Yoshida has been working on these compositions for years. A complete song from the album is going to be unveiled this Wednesday, June 13th.

    Pledged for the LP+CD+download. 84% funded.

    Never done the Kickstarter thing before. Figured this was a worthy cause!

    Ordered earlier today. Said 91% fulfilled so looking good.

    Really excited about this one!

    I would be willing to pay up to 40 euros for the double LP, but I am afraid this won't cover the postage...

    I understand Zappathustra. Postage rates have really hurt our mail-order business outside of the USA. SKiN GRAFT used to sell a lot of stuff direct to customers in Europe in particular, but it's way down now. If you do find the funds, the band and I will do our best to make it worth your while. If not, even pre-ordering a download helps.

    Thx -
    Mark

    We made the goal! It's just barely over the threshold and we've still got one more week left in the campaign, so we're going to try to put the time to good use for all of us. We've created some additional targets to shoot for that would enable us to make the album even more elaborate…

    • If we reach $7000- USD in pledges, we'll press both albums on colored vinyl for all Kickstarter supporters.

    • If we reach $8000- USD in pledges, we can master an additional track (!) for side 4 of the vinyl 2xLP - "Levhorm (Piano Version)". On this alternate version, Taku Yabuki plays piano instead of organ. It totals over 9 minutes and would bring the running time of the vinyl up to 70 minutes.

    Thanks to all of you on the board that pledged! - - We really appreciate it!

    Mark, Tatsuya & the band

    Thanks Mister Triscuits! It looks like we’re very close to the extra track now. The campaign ends Thursday afternoon, so here are the final stretch goals from today’s update:

    • If we reach $9000- USD in pledges, we can include a full color poster insert in the 2xLP.

    • If we reach $9500- USD in pledges, we can make the poster insert "double-sided", with the flip side printed in color as well.

    • If we reach $10000- USD in pledges, then once “Dhorimviska” is released, we’ll begin pre-production on a vinyl release of Koenjihyakkei's previous album “Angherr Shisspa”. In appreciation, we will send everyone who has pledged on a physical reward during this campaign a full-color, double-sided "Angherr Shisspa” poster.

    I can't wait for this album. I watch this video at least every other day...will be interesting how close it is to the version that made it on the album. Best part is around 8 minutes where they alternate between keyboard synth runs and AH screaming like she's possesed.

    Here is another KOENJIHYAKKEI Kickstarter Update:

    We just reached the third stretch goal (!) - a poster insert will be included in each LP.

    We’re less than $500- USD away from the next stretch goal, which would make the poster double-sided (!) - and under $1000- USD away from the final stretch goal - a commitment to getting the band’s previous album "Angherr Shisspa” out on vinyl. If we reach $10000- then a special double sided "Angherr Shisspa" poster / lyric sheet will be created and mailed to every pledger that has a physical reward being mailed to them.

    As incentive, here is a link to "Rattims Friezz" from "Angherr Shisspa" over at the SKiN GRAFT Records Bandcamp:
    https://skingraftrecords.bandcamp.co...ttims-friezz-2

    Even though we are relatively close, that’s a LOT of money and a long way to go in a very short time, so if you've been meaning to pledge but haven't yet - or have any pals left that you can get the word out to - please do!

    No matter what happens - Koenjihyakkei's new album will be coming out on vinyl - and quite a few folks on this board are to thank!

    Here is the Kickstarter link (and you can check out the Stretch Goal update there):

    Thanks again!

    Pledged.

    Wow, now less than $250 from the $10K goal of making a Angherr Shisspa LP.

    Hopefully this is close enough to get done in either event.

    “Angherr Shisspa” is on for 2019! Just a few hours left! Thanks!

    You and me both, brother.

    I think it comes out later this month, if memory serves.
