Some of you have been requesting another Japanese bonus volume. You wanted, you got it.
Vol.6 comprises almost entirely bonuses from present and last year popular releases, plus some rarely seen cuts as "Will You Remember Me" from 1993's 'Going Crazy' female fronted rockers Sahara, "Someone" off Finnish act Carmen Gray's debut, or Khymera's acoustic remix of the title track "The Greatest Wonder".
There's Player recent album 'Too Many Reasons' bonus "Walk That Walk" which I don't like at all, but it's new and that's why it is included here.
Some kind of 'intrusion' is H.E.A.T's "Too Far On The Wild Side" as it isn't a Japanese bonus, but an exclusive to "Address The Nation" Korean edition, and a worthwhile listen for sure.
Despite relatively recently released, I never seen in the blogosphere the bonus tracks from Degreed's 'Love, Life, Loss' ("Constant") or "Time For Changing" taken from the lovable Swedish westcoast/AOR combo State Cows debut.
Nice new instalment, as usual, with myself-made artwork.

THE JAPAN BONUS Vol.03
Thursday, April 8, 2010
AOR TREASURES - The Japan Bonus Vol.02
Another Japan Bonus installment.
Vol.1 has become very popular and readers are requesting bonuses all the time in 'Request & Fill Corner' section.
Many are filled here (Thunder, Stone Soup, T'Bell, Cheap Trick) and I've picked a bunch of pretty good ones that deserved to be listened.
"Cold Heart" by 21 GUNS isn't the demo version appeared in their 'Nothing's Real' album, this is the finished track. Why they never properly released worldwide this great tune?
"Blood From A Stone" performed by CHRISSY STEELE is a lost gem co-written by MIKE RENO.
I love ACTION's "Forever" piano version (their album has a different cover in the asian edition), and the awesome "When The Walls Come Down" by STONE SOUP, in my opinion, the best song on the entire 'Spooge' album.
74 min, myself made artwork.
