Ichigo Mashimaro Music References

I finally witched Ichigo Mashimaro an anime I've been meaning to watch for a while. What finally got me to watch it was seeing some music references (especially Aphex Twin related) in the promotional art. Witch I will now point out and explain.
These first few are from the anime.
The first is that Anna is from Cornwall, England. That is a pretty specific place especially considering that Aphex Twin is also from Cornwall.
And later in the series Chika catches a pair of goldfish at a festival witch they name Richard and James. A reference to Aphex Twin's real name Richard David James.
The only other specific music reference found in the anime was during their visit to Anna's house we were shown her family's music collection filled with real albums.
And then there's this comic of them discussing Aphex Twin's music and featuring Richard himself! Translated version here (read it left to right)
This comic is actually funnier if you know about him. He is infamous for giving people random unused songs when commissioned to make a song (or remix) and yes He owns a tank.
Miscellaneous music references
Quench is an album by The Beautiful South (released in 1998) and Back on a Roll is a Super Furry Animals song.
