CYMBALS DISCOGRAPHY
tl;dr: Cymbals discography (almost - see comment) in mostly 320kbps, plus "best of" album in FLAC
Cymbals was a Japanese rock band active from 1997-2003. The trio was composed of vocalist Toki Asako (土岐麻子), bassist/guitarist Okii Reiji (沖井礼二), and drummer Yano Hiroyasu (矢野博康). Like other Japanese bands which emerged in the late 1990s (including Clammbon and Hermann H. & the Pacemakers), Cymbals were strongly influenced by the British pop-rock sounds of the 1960s. Despite solid songwriting and album production, they never scored a true "hit", which eventually resulted in the band's breakup in September 2003. They played a final 90-minute farewell concert at Shibuya O-East on January 20, 2004. The group's members remain musically active – Toki as a solo artist, Okii as a producer (for Toki and others), and Yano as a session drummer and producer.

If you find any errors or omissions in the files (including metadata), or if you locate higher quality versions for any of the sub-320kbps files, please leave a comment.
As far as I can tell, the three singles whose music files I couldn't find all have songs that can be found on one of the albums. I suppose it's possible that the single versions had alternate mixes, but this isn't indicated in the track titles as is usually done in Japanese releases.
Discogs also lists another title called "A "By-Product" e.p." that doesn't have a date and doesn't seem to be substantiated by any other source, so I can only assume it's either extremely lost media or one of those "somebody renamed a folder and somebody else thought it was a release" situations.
If I ever get a hold of any of these, I'll rip them and create separate torrents.
あけおめ!
