***Japanese Heavy Rock Hits*** is a collection of singles by the Japanese [experimental](/source/Experimental_music) band [Boris](/source/Boris_(band)). Volume 1 was released on September 14, 2009 through the label [Southern Lord Records](/source/Southern_Lord_Records); the successive volumes followed one per month afterward.[1] Artwork for each single is in a [glam rock](/source/Glam_rock) cliché and features a single band member whose style is prominent on the songs on the accompanying release; the fourth single, a cover song, has a transparent PVC sleeve, and was bundled with preorders of the series along with a T-shirt. The only physical release was on separate 7" vinyl records, though digital versions (save vol. 4) in [MP3](/source/MP3) and [FLAC](/source/FLAC) were available from online retailers.

Initial track list information included "8" as track 2 on *[Heavy Rocks](/source/Heavy_Rocks_(2011_album))* and "16:47:52..." as track 6 on *[Attention Please](/source/Attention_Please_(Boris_album))*, but the official preorder revealed they were replaced by "Leak -Truth,yesnoyesnoyes-"[2] and "You"[3] respectively. Two alternate mixes of "Black Original" were used for the Japanese release of *[New Album](/source/New_Album)*, and a live version of "8" is featured as a download bonus for *[Noise](/source/Noise_(Boris_album))*.
