  • Panchiko. For some of you, you already know what I am talking about and know the actual masterpiece their entire discography is. For others you probably have no idea of what I’m talking about and probably think I just butchered the Japanese gambling game. But no this band is probably one of the most mysterious bands to ever exist on the internet. If you look on streaming platforms it says their album deathmetal was released in 2000, no this is not a mistake on streaming platforms but the fact that the band didn’t gain popularity until just this decade. So why did they go unnoticed for so long? How were they found? This will all be covered in this video. The Mysterious Story Of Panchiko
    Notes:
    -----------
    I mispronounced some words such as Laputa and Ibad [I believe I mispronounced Ibad] (I didn't realize until after the render)
    Also some things may be a little bit sloppy, it's my first time go easy on me
    Also Big thanks to VHSTokyo letting me use their song "Memories" as my outro music!
    I'm going to be streaming for the first time tonight at 6:00 p.m EST, make sure to check in. My twitch is loganboden

      It's easier to be a critic than a creator. Physical pain isn't necessary when you consider it's just one person's opinion. And their opinion is no more valid or absurd as yours or mine

    i didn't know anything about this band and the mysterious lore. i just found them on spotify one day, spotify algorithm is quite something to recommend this to me based on my listening history. i immediately fell in love with the music and since have been listening every of their songs to death. i'm just devastated because there isn't more and i can't quite find something that hits the same as their music.

    idk not really misterios imo. they were just not known anywhere and didnt get signed to any label. so they had just a few copies of their EP for friends and family, and someone found their cd in a trift shop years later and posted it online. thats all.
    I mean, it was misterious when the post was posted on 4chan, when noone knew anything about it, but now when we know they just didnt get signed anywhere and the band just dissolved, its nothing really misterious anymore

After some time "dismiss yourself" uploaded the bitrot free version (also linked below).

    I wish you would've had the clips of the tracks last longer and have more of the vocal parts of the songs so newcomers can get more of a glimpse of this masterpiece of a band.
