Blankey Jet City - Complete Single Collection Singles Rar Now
Why hasn’t Sony Music Japan released this officially? Blankey Jet City had a notoriously fractured relationship with their label, Sony. The rights to the B-sides are mired in licensing limbo. Consequently, the only way to hear tracks like "Gitaa Kyoudai" (B-side of "Punk") is via these digital rips.
For the band’s 20th anniversary in 2020, minimal action was taken. Kenichi Asai, now a beloved solo artist, rarely revisits the old catalog. This absence has turned the fan-made "Complete Single Collection" into a living document. It is an act of preservation.

Formed in Tokyo in 1987, Blankey Jet City (BJC) consisted of Kenichi "Benzie" Asai (vocals/guitar), Toshiyuki Terui (bass), and Tatsuya Nakamura (drums). They emerged at the end of the Japanese "band boom" but quickly distinguished themselves with a visceral sound that fused punk, rockabilly, garage rock, and blues.
Their lyrics, primarily penned by Asai, often featured gritty narratives of juvenile delinquency and social marginalization, set against a backdrop of feedback-heavy solos and explosive drumming. The band officially disbanded in July 2000 following a legendary performance at the Fuji Rock Festival. Tracklist Highlights
