History

Shiroi Honō was released by Canyon Records on May 21, 1985.

Notes
  1. These individuals are all listed on the album cover as well as the label on the vinyl EP itself.
gollark: I have microG.
gollark: I want roughly that except not games or YouTube and it has to be something I can remove Google stuff from and ideally it should have a good battery and no notch and repairability.
gollark: Anyway, it looks like the main draw of the Nokia 7.2 is the cameras and potentially display.
gollark: COOL people install THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE such as LineageOS for CUSTOMIZATION or reduction of google spying.
gollark: Also it has a notch which is highly æ.
