I've been wanting to create this blog post for a while now, but I never got around to it. The year 2025 was great for many reasons.
As an administrator of the Shocking Lemon fan website, I rarely talk about my personal life—I only focus on the band and the music.
Today I'd like to give a little insight into my personal life and how I came to own and run the Shocking Lemon fan website, and how I ended up meeting Hideki Taniuchi.
For more than 20 years fans of Shocking Lemon always wanted to see the video of the song Under Star, it was believed to be long lost, only a small portion of the video was found before through the Wayback Machine.
But now fans can rejoice, as VAP just reuploaded several videos of their artists under the label, including the long lost video of Under Star.
Under Star and Inner Light were uploaded now in HD quality (1080p) to their youtube channel.
You can watch the videos below.
As many of you know over the years we've been collecting the Shocking Lemon CDs, until now we were able to find most of them but one of those hard to find was Pastel Room, but we finally found it in excellent condition.
But that's not all, we found it with an autographed photo of Shocking Lemon, by all members of the band! 👇
The rest of the images can be found in the Pastel Room page, in the Music section.
Over time I have seen several song covers by fans of Shocking Lemon, but so far this is one of my favorites.
One of our Discord members showed us their great talents by composing a cover in Spanish of Inner Light.
Check it out below 👇
Finally, after months of hard work to gather everything about Shocking Lemon, we are launching a website dedicated to this great Japanese rock band!
This blog will serve to keep the Shocking Lemon fan community updated on the latest happenings around the band as well as new content we can find.
