SweetestRecords omunibus #001 (2000 SRCDR-0002 Original)

The genesis of it all.

Born from nothing in southern Saitama during the early 2000s, SweetestRecords was a legendary imprint that went on to reshape the music scenes of Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Chiba.

Twenty-five years later, their seminal first compilation CD-R has been rediscovered for its long-awaited streaming arrival.

Highlights include select recordings from the Kojirō band - a project so impressive that former CASIOPEA members Minoru Mukaiya (Synth) and Akira Jimbo (Drums) were moved to declare, "This band is ready for the world stage exactly as it stands."

In particular, the track "Prayer" captures a rare and historically significant performance by the band's original first-generation lineup, recorded during the ensemble's formative period.Marking this historic launch, SmashDrive's unreleased archival track, "Ne han ~NIRVANA ~ [Temporary Title]", is unleashed as a special bonus cut.
