Lyrics 「Heartless Scat」 If you, Holy Angels, do exist in this universe, Will you bless me on the cheeks? With my painful effort never paid off.

Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Countless stars are twinkling in the sky. Every one of us is under them, with a thousand wishes in each heart. Lululu Lululu… If you, Lord Buddha, really exist in some place, Please have mercy on me, too. Having nothing precious in my possession, Desolated, Isolated, I've been living my life with a series of failures. Will the day come when I can totally be satisfied? Will the day come when my dreams come true? Tell me, Lord Buddha. Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Shine a light on my life Shine a light on my future a light on every creature Shine a light on tomorrow for all
I think Scat in this instance refers to non-word song, like the guy who had the song "Scat Man". Like when a singer in jazz does a 'bi bi ba dop dop doo doo, shibbity waaaa" If you look at the closed captions, the Shabadabadiba baba ba ba isn't Japanese, it's scat.
I love NinGen-Isu,too！ His sounds is very very cool！ And he is very good human nature. MC is nice at His LIVE. （sorry,I can not speak Engrilsh very much.）
NINGEN ISU is the precursor of Metal in Japan, they're doing it for over 30 years. Though Babymetal atracted attention to Metal in Japan and people discovered Ningen Isu, I knew them because I love many things in Asian culture and in the 80's there were successful Japanese bands that called attention to the Metal there too. But just now NINGEN ISU is getting the status of legend of Japanese Metal it's due to them. React to "The Colour Out Of Space",
In vocal jazz, scat singing is vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all. In scat singing, the singer improvises melodies and rhythms using the voice as an instrument rather than a speaking medium.
'scat' is a term from jazz In vocal jazz, scat singing is vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all. btw. They're all either 53 or 54 years of age.
This is Japan's "Tohoku lyric hard rock" They tend to be classified as HM in Japan But their original color of HR is strong これで通じていることを願う (;´･ω･) この曲は人間椅子本来の色が強く出ていて懐かしさを感じます
For case you don't know, the guitarist's costume is formal male kimono - formal because he wears 'hakama', the skirt, and 'haori', the jacket. Bassist's costume is of Japanese Buddhist monk. And, (I don't know why) the drummer is dressed like some construction worker.
For some reason, they remind me of a Japanese version of Rush. Not bad sounding. Congrats to them for being together for so long. I've never heard of them but they're not bad.
These guys are great!!!! I'm always finding things late, on top of the fact that they've been around for 30 years and apparently Ozzy had them play Ozzfest, your reaction is 2 years old. Cripes. I subscribed and started following your reactions due to The Warning reactions and I was late to find them too, and now I support them like they were my own family. So better late then never.
"Black Sabbathy" They grew up listening to those types of bands like Black Sabbath and King Crimson. Their Twitter account run by the staff is even called PlanetCaravan69. lol
Hey screw anyone who doesn't like this AARP band, finally we old guys have a group we can really identify with!!!!!!!(LOL)!!! As soon as I saw Angus's guitar I was all in, these guys are from that era, the old raw real in your face metal sound!!!!! Old Elvis on the drums (LMAO) but he can still smash the sticks!!!!!! After watching these guys I am really inspired and feel 20 years younger!!!They just gave me flashbacks to the old 80's concerts where there was real talent and it just drove you up and over the edge. Tell me the truth, if you found them on YT and saw them at the start of the video you would of closed it out right away!!!! Man this is great and I do hope that it is not a goof cause they were great switching sounds. Man I have to hunt down this group and get back to you with more!!! Hey I love the new wave but these old boys are letting the young ones know , hey we are still here and don't you dare forget about us!!! No sirs I won't trust me!!!
@@AnyFuleKnoThat I recently saw Namhage LIVE, (ua-cam.com/video/CLoUY1kA4ZY/v-deo.html) I am sorry their are bands half their age who don't kick a$$ as well as this trio does. The drums and the guitar were wicked good and I want Ryan to give them another listen! I assume the album is Japan release at this point and anything about a tour outside of Japan? Hey why not ask right they would be worth the trip there at this point!!!
@@jmetallover As far as I know, they've never played outside Japan. Hopefully they'll pick up more international fans from exposure on UA-cam like this (if the copyright police don't strike) and maybe we'll get to see them one day in the rest of the world. Or, as you say, go to Japan. They're playing the Rock in Japan festival this year on the same day as Band-Maid, Scandal, and Gacharic Spin. That's a line-up to crawl over broken glass for.
@@ClawCarver First, If the Copyright squad stays out of it they will get more exposure than the label ever could give them!! Second, what a festival line-up!!! That is the one thing that we are really missing here in North America, Hip-Hop, Rap and Pop have them but we need a serious festival for metal bands but sadly seems Wacken, Bloodstock, Woodstock (Poland), etc.. gets to showcase all the talent and we only get to watch! Sadly Woodstock (1969) is turning out to be a once in a lifetime showcase(at least in my lifetime)!! Hey any plans on broadcasting that Rock in Japan show (doubt it as the labels can never agree on carving up the profits)!!
Uncle Fester, manager of the rural post office and emperor, whom just for entertainment is playing hard punk metal rock. Ningen Isu is a legend in Japan for over 30 years.
These guys are awesome, love all they do, they are heavily influenced by HP Lovecraft, and yes it is them playing 😊🤘💖 ..New album : New Youth, out today 5/6/19
Hell Yea!! Love me some Ningen Isu!! Talk about "Old School" in the best possible way. Been checking them out for about 2 years now. Obviously some Black Sabbath influence, but I always get reminded of "Budgie" when I hear them. Another epic song of theirs is ”NAMAHAGE” Here is a link to a live version if you want more. it's pretty killer. ua-cam.com/video/rUvKusi05MA/v-deo.html
Heartless scat as in making sounds with your mouth. The 'Heartless Scat" in question is when he goes "SHABADABADIA SHABADABADIA SHABADABADIA, BA BA BA BAAAAA" that's scat. It could also be read as "Heartless Cat"
Definitely Sabbath disciples, for sure! First lead break sounds like Ace Frehley, second like Tony Iommi, and that bass sounds loud and heavy as hell, the way it ought to. I have gotta look these guys up when I'm in Tokyo and see about scoring some CDs!
Ningen Isu are awesome! I´ll be honest, I started my Japanese music adventure with BabyMetal, which I love, and ever since I have stumbled on dozens of amazing bands from Japan. From rock, heavy metal, deathcore, they have quality in pretty much every metal category you can imagine. They have an incredible music scene for us, metalheads. Needless to say I have imported dozens of CD´s at this point, and I keep getting blown away by their musicianship. Bands like Ningen Isu, Aldious, Unlucky Morpheus, Band Maid, BabyMetal, Mary´s Blood, Versailles (which you NEED to react to!), The Gazette, Lovebites among many others, are truly special. I´ll leave a couple of sugestions and links, I´ve been here since the beggining, but i´m more of the silent type, however I will leave my suggestions and hopefully you can get around to them. Versailles Faith&Decision - 16 minute song, the style of this band is Visual Kei, prepare to be blown away. No growls, don´t worry! This song has a story behind it, which I can share if/when you react to it. ua-cam.com/video/AdhfE6ITfoQ/v-deo.html This one is more recent, a new band with a trio of ladies from Japan, they are more in your face rock with an absolute insanely talented drummer. They have a Japanese name, but I have seen the name loosely translated to KAKUMEI, the song is called voltage and it´s less than 4 minutes long, but I assure you it´s worth it. Here´s a link for you: ua-cam.com/video/9k9txMouU34/v-deo.html Keep up the great work on your channel. Cheers.
Also Maximum the Hormone is good, we would need to check which link to react to, I think one of the songs/MVs has some copyright issues. Babymetal is still my favorite, it's different also. Well, they all are very different really, that's actually what makes them interesting.
My story is similar: Babymetal opened the door and led me to the vast treasure palace that is the Japanese music scene. I totally agree about Girls Rock Band Kakumei, and specifically their drummer Junna. I've been playing their recent mini-album in my car a lot (while waiting for the new Ningen Isu album to arrive) and it's a fresh, clean jolt of electric energy.
(ua-cam.com/video/CLoUY1kA4ZY/v-deo.html) I just heard it recently and Ryan would go nuts for the guitar and bass work!!!! And let me say this about "Elvis" on drums he can smash those stick and gong as well as anybody bashing today!!!!

In Japan the musicians are doing really interesting things, they are not afraid to innovate or be wrong. So the result is surprising. Ningen Isu, some time ago I found this band by chance. I suppose was a YT suggestion. If you are interested there is another really awesome band that mixes with great mastery the traditional Japanese music and rock. They are The Waggaki Band. ua-cam.com/video/wRaP6TmKTQE/v-deo.html
Not a hard fan of this band, but what I know Ningen Isu means "The Human Chair", and that names comes from a horror japanese manga (comic) where, imagine, a person hides INSIDE a couch, living there, sleeping there, eating there, and more, and the inhabitants of the home never noticed, except they "feel" not comfortably when using that particular chair, and one person even said he heard the chair "breath". I don't remember name's mangaka, but his style is very disturbing and crude, and this band have themes about dark poetry and eroticism, and the singer looks like a japanese writer or philosopher, so... you can suppose the rest.
I don't know if I'm right, but it seems Japan has a very close minded atttitude regarding making their artists known out of Japan. I've come to known quite a few, mostly due to my love for anime and japanese culture in general, and Ningen Isu I just stumbled upon them a few days ago trough the youtube algorythm. It's such a shame that bands like this and others dont get more popular worldwide.
This band kicks ass dude I love the change into the heavy groove and the first guitar solo just fuckin rips dude. Kick ass reaction! \w/ Nothin like P90 pickups.
Thanks for the heart. I just finally picked up my bass and jammed this out just now. Totally satisfying. It may sound basic to some but it has a lot of complexity.
big fan of that main riff.. traces of Negative Creep in there. huge sound for a three piece.. always love to hear that. guessing 'scat' was referring to the singing style.. with the shabadadio rurururu parts(twitch donation shenanigans anyone?). i have no idea when this is from.. gotta be the 80's ua-cam.com/video/KNxfQGvtmBE/v-deo.html covering Breadfan pbs.twimg.com/media/Db82UE-U8AAHDI7 (source: Ningen Isu's twitter)
Thanks for reacting, this is really the band the have a definite philosphy on what a song should sound like and they have stuck to that. A lot of what they do is based on literature and culture as elsewhere stated in the comments Namahage live is a great choice. Others bands to listen to Eruca Sativa from Argentina Elephant Gym from Taiwan Toyko Ska Paradise Orchestra Show Ya Inori ua-cam.com/video/TzReJH8pEMI/v-deo.html
Show Ya, Ryan would love with their heavy Rock influences up to the more metal feel later on. Hey any all female band that does covers, for AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Yardbirds and Deep Purple is just super in my book!!!!
This kept showing up on my UA-cam feed but hadn’t clicked on it. Glad you reacted to it. It’s good. I’ll have to check out more of these guys. Also.... I’ve asked before but I know you get a ton of requests. But I really think you’ll enjoy this band from Taiwan. ua-cam.com/video/c2n7Ie_MqpA/v-deo.html
I found your video as a suggestion of that other video ua-cam.com/video/zwlNBJZxNBk/v-deo.html :-D that was scary but very funny! hahahaha You make me understand why Heartless Scat of Ningen Isu showed up to me in the youtube searches. TKS!
Would you rather I jump out of my chair and fake it like other reactors. I am the way I am. Some people like my subtle reactions. It’s ok if you don’t.
It’s a band that is not famous in Japan Unfortunately, even if I ask 10,000 people, only one person knows it. I'm glad that people from overseas listen to it even if many Japanese don't know… NI N GE N I SU is a heretic, unlike other Japanese musicians. Most of Japanese songs are love songs. However, this band deals with serious and important issues that other bands do not, such as the view of life, religion, morality, and life and death. If you, Holy Angels, do exist in this universe Will you bless me on the cheeks?

最初は半信半疑な感じだったのに曲が進むにつれてだんだん身体動いてニッコリし出すの草
この人が何を言ってるのか分からないけど、これを観ている俺と同じように頭を揺らしてるし、曲の素晴らしさは絶対に伝わっている。
国とか関係なく、メタルの神髄をこの人も感じたんじゃないかな。
Wow!!! Heavy riffs, contagious choruses and great solos. By the way nifty key signature modulation!!! Very well structured and super interesting song writting leave you wanting more. They are the (older)new Kings of Rock and Roll!!!
Lyrics
「Heartless Scat」
If you, Holy Angels, do exist in this universe,
Will you bless me on the cheeks?
With my painful effort never paid off.
I've just been standing in the shadow,
Will the day come someday when I can fly high in the sky?
Will the day come when I can see the sun? Tell me, Holy Angels.
Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa
Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa
If you, Divine Goddess, are staying hidden somewhere,
Why don't you smile at me on my forehead?
I've never tasted the nectar of victory.
I’ve never succeeded in love.
Will the day come when I can get intoxicated by the victory?
Will the day come when I can embrace love?
Tell me, Divine Goddess.
Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa
Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa
Countless stars are twinkling in the sky.
Every one of us is under them, with a thousand wishes in each heart.
Lululu Lululu…
If you, Lord Buddha, really exist in some place,
Please have mercy on me, too.
Having nothing precious in my possession, Desolated, Isolated,
I've been living my life with a series of failures.
Will the day come when I can totally be satisfied?
Will the day come when my dreams come true? Tell me, Lord Buddha.
Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa
Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa
Shine a light on my life
Shine a light on my future
a light on every creature
Shine a light on tomorrow for all
I got disappointed when I read BabyMetal lyrics, but this is exactly what I thought they would be based on the sound. Cool.
Perfect example of rock not dying, it just immigrated. Europe and Japan have been killing it for decades.
I think Scat in this instance refers to non-word song, like the guy who had the song "Scat Man". Like when a singer in jazz does a 'bi bi ba dop dop doo doo, shibbity waaaa" If you look at the closed captions, the Shabadabadiba baba ba ba isn't Japanese, it's scat.
English translation: Yabba dabba do.. ;-D
Thank you for posting what I wanted to. lol
Yea you would think a guy who reacts to music and or videos might know a little more about music.
Exactly.
なんか嬉しいね
最初の訝しんでるような感じだったのに笑
The smile of seeing something so unexpectedly good you can't help it.
I had the same look on my face.
I thought the same thing watching Ryan watch.
This is the best song of 2019 so far on UA-cam.
Sorry to say, Not "NINJIN-ISU",but "NINGEN-ISU" "NINJIN" means Carrot, but "NINGEN"means Human. Thanks for comment and sharing though.
xD Ninjin-isu would've been Carrot Chair instead of The Human Chair.
His guitar is a Gibson SG. Yes, it's the same model played by Angus Young, and, more appropriately, Tony Iommi.
no wonder they sound so sabbathy sometimes.^^
日本のメタル最高だぜ‼️
I love NinGen-Isu,too！
His sounds is very very cool！ And he is very good
human nature.
MC is nice at His LIVE.

I love the change up such a bad_ ass heavy groove! And the first solo notes just rip eyeballs
These dudes are like the J-Rock Expendables, here to show the kids what's what. This song and video are incredible.
J Rock Expendables? I love it! Abosolutely spot on!
人参椅子・・・
I stumbled upon it. Best stumble for a while. Which lead to a stumble to your channel. Great sound from Ningen Isu.
❤️❤️🙏🙏🤟🤟
I really enjoyed that. Wow. What a great suggestion!
In vocal jazz, scat singing is vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all. In scat singing, the singer improvises melodies and rhythms using the voice as an instrument rather than a speaking medium.
These guys are legendary, like Black sabbath or king Crimson, hard hitting heavy rock/ metal tones
'scat' is a term from jazz
In vocal jazz, scat singing is vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all. btw. They're all either 53 or 54 years of age.
Yes Jazz often has those "scat" singers especially on the club level. I didn't think they were the Special Combat Assault Team (LOL)!!
The "scat" part of this is after the chorus where he goes "shabadabadi-oo"
Japanese Heavy Metal Rock Opera.
This is Japan's "Tohoku lyric hard rock"
They tend to be classified as HM in Japan
But their original color of HR is strong
これで通じていることを願う (;´･ω･) この曲は人間椅子本来の色が強く出ていて懐かしさを感じます
I love this band. :)
Thank you for reacting!!!!
For case you don't know, the guitarist's costume is formal male kimono - formal because he wears 'hakama', the skirt, and 'haori', the jacket. Bassist's costume is of Japanese Buddhist monk. And, (I don't know why) the drummer is dressed like some construction worker.
The drummer is dressed like some Yakuza member or a bit of a Yankee style with his old school greaser/pompadour haircut and wearing a koikuchi shirt.
Human Chair
Killer band!
Check out their song Namahage.
Total Japanese Black Sabbath.
Their total Japanese Black Sabbath song is "Odoru Issunboushi". But I like Namahage too.
at least, the guitarist is definitely the Japanese Tony Iommy
Since 1989. They must have stuck around in Japan and were major underground. And I don't care what anybody say's. A gibson SG with P90 pickups smokes.
Glad you pick up and like them. 6:08 solo is kicking ass indeed
For some reason, they remind me of a Japanese version of Rush. Not bad sounding. Congrats to them for being together for so long. I've never heard of them but they're not bad.

Possibly the ONLY metal band that could get away with a chorus like: "shaba daba dio, para pa pa"
Wow 😮 This is Super cool 😎
Old Samurai x Japanese monk playing hard Rock
Sounds great 👍
雰囲気伝わる歌詞の英語訳を付けてあげたいな。日本語のニュアンス伝えられる人お願い！

Black Sabbath is the all time favourite of the members.

"It's an eight minute song, holy smokes" Yeah, a lot of there songs are long. But they never feel long when listening to them.
Guitarist is dressed as a Meiji-era professor.
NAMAHAGE is probably a better song for new viewer though, a live version link is below. Great song !
(ua-cam.com/video/CLoUY1kA4ZY/v-deo.html) I just heard it recently and Ryan would go nuts for the guitar and bass work!!!! And let me say this about "Elvis" on drums he can smash those stick and gong as well as anybody bashing today!!!!
I felt like it is a mix of the following: Modern Metallica, System of a Down, Black Sabbath, and a hint of Alice in Chains! These guys fucking ROCK!!!
「Heartless Scat」 Publish the lyrics translated into English
「Heartless Scat」
If you, Holy Angels, do exist in this universe,
Will you bless me on the cheeks?
With my painful effort never paid off.
I've just been standing in the shadow,
Will the day come someday when I can fly high in the sky?
Will the day come when I can see the sun?
Tell me, Holy Angels.

If you, Divine Goddess, are staying hidden somewhere,
Why don't you smile at me on my forehead?
I've never tasted the nectar of victory.
I’ve never succeeded in love.
Will the day come when I can get intoxicated by the victory?
Will the day come when I can embrace love?
Tell me, Divine Goddess.

Countless stars are twinkling in the sky.
Every man is under them,
with a thousand wishes in his heart
Lululu Lululu…
If you, Lord Buddha, really exist in some place,
Please have mercy on me, too.
Having nothing precious in my possession,
Desolated,
Isolated,
I've been living my life with a series of failures.
Will the day come when I can totally be satisfied?
Will the day come when my dreams come true?
Tell me, Lord Buddha.

That basist looks and acts exactly like guitar player of Dimmu Borgir
In Japan the musicians are doing really interesting things, they are not afraid to innovate or be wrong. So the result is surprising. Ningen Isu, some time ago I found this band by chance. I suppose was a YT suggestion.
If you are interested there is another really awesome band that mixes with great mastery the traditional Japanese music and rock. They are The Waggaki Band.

I second Wagakki Band too. Beni is
I also recommend Wagakki Band, they are a genre-buster!
clear bass here... great band.. got surprses every minute getin heavier and darker
I love your analogy. Darth Video morphed in Gene Simmons.
6:11 great
Not a hard fan of this band, but what I know Ningen Isu means "The Human Chair", and that names comes from a horror japanese manga (comic) where, imagine, a person hides INSIDE a couch, living there, sleeping there, eating there, and more, and the inhabitants of the home never noticed, except they "feel" not comfortably when using that particular chair, and one person even said he heard the chair "breath". I don't remember name's mangaka, but his style is very disturbing and crude, and this band have themes about dark poetry and eroticism, and the singer looks like a japanese writer or philosopher, so... you can suppose the rest.
That manga must be based on a novel written by Rampo Edogawa.
にんじんいすー！！いぇあ！！
The Human-Human
I don't know if I'm right, but it seems Japan has a very close minded atttitude regarding making their artists known out of Japan. I've come to known quite a few, mostly due to my love for anime and japanese culture in general, and Ningen Isu I just stumbled upon them a few days ago trough the youtube algorythm. It's such a shame that bands like this and others dont get more popular worldwide.
Interesting perspective
Great review.. & thanks for not talking over the entire song.
❤️❤️🙏🙏🤟🤟
Ningen Isu means Human Chair, from a super ducted up Japanese horror story (there's readings of a comic adaptation here on UA-cam).
actually it's from an old Allan Edgar Poe story... the japanese version is an adaptation of it

love this band incredible! thanks great reaction video
❤️❤️🙏🙏😆😆
I know this band haha. But real legends are X-Japan but i like Galneryus more.
This band kicks ass dude I love the change into the heavy groove and the first guitar solo just fuckin rips dude. Kick ass reaction! \w/ Nothin like P90 pickups.
Jeff Meyers ❤️❤️🙏🙏🤟🤟
Thanks for the heart. I just finally picked up my bass and jammed this out just now. Totally satisfying. It may sound basic to some but it has a lot of complexity.
They rock period.
This is good stuff, nice one Ryan.
❤️❤️🙏🙏🤟🤟
Jimmy Page doesn't have much on that guy. Remarkable. Just discovered this group tonight when they appeared on my UA-cam recommendations. WOW!!!
big fan of that main riff.. traces of Negative Creep in there. huge sound for a three piece.. always love to hear that. guessing 'scat' was referring to the singing style.. with the shabadadio rurururu parts(twitch donation shenanigans anyone?).
i have no idea when this is from.. gotta be the 80's

The bass player reminds me of the dude from the movie"Plan 9 from Outer Space"
That was "Tor Johnson" if memory serves! LOL!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_Johnson
@@markmark6378 Thanks brother. Would love to see them lay down a track for Godzilla.
human chair？
chairman？
やっぱ人参椅子になるのね。
Thanks for reacting, this is really the band the have a definite philosphy on what a song should sound like and they have stuck to that. A lot of what they do is based on literature and culture as elsewhere stated in the comments Namahage live is a great choice.
Others bands to listen to
Eruca Sativa from Argentina
Elephant Gym from Taiwan
Toyko Ska Paradise Orchestra
Show Ya Inori
ua-cam.com/video/TzReJH8pEMI/v-deo.html
Show Ya, Ryan would love with their heavy Rock influences up to the more metal feel later on. Hey any all female band that does covers, for AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Yardbirds and Deep Purple is just super in my book!!!!
@@jmetallover Awesome band, imagine a Show Ya, Ningen Isu show that would be something to behold
This kept showing up on my UA-cam feed but hadn’t clicked on it. Glad you reacted to it. It’s good. I’ll have to check out more of these guys. Also.... I’ve asked before but I know you get a ton of requests. But I really think you’ll enjoy this band from Taiwan. ua-cam.com/video/c2n7Ie_MqpA/v-deo.html
Ninjin Isu
THEY WERE EACH ONE BORN BETWEEN 1965 AND 66 ACCORDING TOO WIKIPEDIA!!!!!
ANYONE REMEMBER LOUDNESS BACK IN THE 80s ??? THEY WERE AWESOME!!!
何で皆んな人参椅子になるのかなあ？
Scat is a jazz term for making up melodic words
Shaba dabba dia
This is cool.!!
Carrot Chair 😂
この人は誉めてるのかな？
Hell yeah it's them! \w/!
Ninjin means carrot - it’s ningen
What about

Odoru dame ningen

Kinniku shoujo tai

Maybe I like carrots 🥕:)

Ningen isu should be spelled ninguen isu
This Song is for the 99% People.
マジ英語わかんねぇあー勉強しよ。
I found your video as a suggestion of that other video ua-cam.com/video/zwlNBJZxNBk/v-deo.html :-D that was scary but very funny! hahahaha You make me understand why Heartless Scat of Ningen Isu showed up to me in the youtube searches. TKS!
Holy crap you did Ningen Isu!!! NIce!! Uncle Fester kicks major ASS!!! try their masterpiece Namahage.... ua-cam.com/video/CLoUY1kA4ZY/v-deo.html
Gostei muito ✌😉!
why do you film reaction videos if you don't react at all? ^^'
Would you rather I jump out of my chair and fake it like other reactors. I am the way I am. Some people like my subtle reactions. It’s ok if you don’t.
You look like Triple H.
Baptism by ningen isu is recommended.
日本語コメだけ主から無視されててつらたん…
It’s a band that is not famous in Japan
Unfortunately, even if I ask 10,000 people, only one person knows it.
I'm glad that people from overseas listen to it even if many Japanese don't know…
NI N GE N I SU is a heretic, unlike other Japanese musicians.
Most of Japanese songs are love songs.
However, this band deals with serious and important issues that other bands do not, such as the view of life, religion, morality, and life and death.
