Welcome back to another #SakuraUnderground! This was recorded at the Valley Free Radio Studios on Feb 25th. DJ Silent was in a celebrating mood for he selected 3 songs from Liars Mess album which is 10 years old this month! Liars a three piece band focusing mostly on vintage synthesizers to make their music as undanceable electronic music ever.
DJ Silent was also missing some dance music so he moved on to Australian project Snog for a few songs, we also had a flashback to a Combichrist and Front 242 era of STOMP too. This era is around the end of the 90s mostly. STOMP is another name for Industrial Dance Metal.
There was a request for Ministry from their new album. It rocks. They are currently touring with Gary Numan and Front Line Assembly in USA right now.
Finishing off the night was some music from Japan by DJ Sakura666!! Crossfaith and Travis Japan. 2 bands, 2 totally different genres, Crossfaith had broken up, but now they have returned.

They also appeared a few times in newspapers and on the First Take, which is huge on Youtube.
SixTONES ABARERO
Jesse – Never Ending Love
SixTONES – We can’t go back
West. who renamed in 2023 are another upcoming band from Japan DJ Sakura666 really enjoys. The music they have is a bit more rock and roll. We received a lot of West. music this year.

King & Prince went through a lot in 2023; they lost 3 of their members. But they carried on. And they are doing great! The other members are also doing great; but King & Prince are still putting out great sounds in 2023. Ren and Kaito work real hard and put out a lot of new music and also perform live. DJ Sakura666 favorites King & Prince tracks in 2023
King & Prince – Magic Word
King & Prince – Chase it Down
King & Prince – Magic Touch
Arashi went into hiatus at the 12/31/19. Members of the band, moved on and got married and enjoyed the family life.
