"Although The Rabbits briskly sold all 500 copies of the Winter Songs tape, live audiences at the time seemed dumbfounded by the group, and would stare at them in silence. After two years together, The Rabbits called it quits. Considered one of the great punk bands of the early '80s, their leader had no interest in the scene and always thought he was making 'normal' music. They rubbed shoulders with a slew of notable groups of the era, and their singer was best friends with arguably the most famous Japanese punk of all time, but Miyazawa shunned fraternization and purposefully distanced himself from his peers. Could this be why so few underground music fans are familiar with the group, even in Japan? Why they seem to have been written out of the official history of Japanese punk? One can never know for sure, but Mesh-Key hopes to remedy this travesty by offering this compilation to a new generation of punk and psychedelic music connoisseurs."
