Your pronunciations of the band name and the song one are right. I am now a big fan of BABYMETAL, but before I discovered BM in late 2019, most of my rock music was this band, haha. It was through them that I learned about Sabbath in my young age, and incidentally, through their progressive performances and another, the legendary Japanese fusion band 'Prism', I learned about King Crimson, progressive music. This is really precious. This video clip is probably their first appearance on TV medias, from a popular late-night program called 'Heisei Meibutsu TV, Yuji Miyake no Ikasu Band Tengoku, aka "Ika ten", (平成名物TV、三宅裕司のいかすバンド天国, 通称：いか天)', 'Heisei Specialty TV, Yuji Miyake's Cool Bands Heaven, Common name: Ika ten' which aired for about two years starting in 1989. I was 18 years old when the program began. It was initially broadcast only in the Tokyo area, but in the fall of that year, it began to be broadcast in the rural areas where I live. I used to record and watch it every week. However, the episode Ningen Isu appearing was broadcast in May, and was still only available in the Tokyo area. Their performance at this time is famous, so I have watched it many times on youtube. It is pity that no English subs, but being able to listen to their talking sessions before and after their performance, is very valuable in the clip. In this program, ten amateur bands performed every week and were chose a 'challenger' for the week and it competed with the previous week's champion to win or lose. Ningen Isu didn't make it to the challenger, but their performance, playing 'Inju (陰獣)', became the famous and they made their professional debut the following year. I also became a fan at that time. However, their eccentric appearance only became a topic of conversation, and they soon became bored, and this is when their suffering began. I also forgot about them for a few decades after that. So I am not really qualified to talk about them... Btw, young Suzuki's outfit (on bass) was 'the rat man' from the old and famous Japanese manga / anime 'Gegege no Kitaro (ゲゲゲの鬼太郎)'. All bands have about three minutes to perform in it, and the judges will put a red light on the band if they think it's not interesting, and two lights will force the band to quit, even if they are in the middle of their performance. On the other hand, if the band gets a blue light, it will be given about 10 seconds to recover, and if the band finishes during this time, it will be considered a complete performance. What was interesting was that two female judges had already put on the blue lights and indicated that they would definitely listen to the performance until the end, even though no one had put on the red lights... Thank you sooooo much from Japan!
Bassist Ken-ichi Suzuki is wearing a rat man costume. He dresses like a monk these days. That was Noriyoshi Kamidate, their original drummer. He left the group in 1992. Guitarist Shinji Wajima has been there from the beginning.
Rick san, are you also interested in Ningen Isu? They were such kawaii young guys at the time, but now they look like tired old guys, right?, lol. But I am glad. Yes, Kamidate was the drummer at this time. I liked him too. Speaking of their progressive music, Masuhiro Goto, the third drummer, is famous among their fans, but Kamidate also played quite a bit of progressive music on drums, I believe. I recommend 'The Golden Dawn', the third and last album Kamidate played on. By the way, I went to an idol festival one called 'Spark 2022' yesterday to see a live performance of OneFive. It was very good. The video clips of that time were up on youtube. Please take a look before they are deleted. Please search with the following words. l found myself in the clip. It was very small, but I was there..😆 onefive Underground 20220718 SPARK2022 onefive - TAP!TAP!TAP! live at Spark 2022 (a new song, world premiere) As for the live performance of the girls, in the reaction video of Sebs Durans' Oh, Majinai, I chatted with Flugelhon Old Man and wrote a little but by Japanese.
@@minamihideki7123 I like Ningen Isu quite a lot, but I'm not very familiar with their history. I just discovered them a few years ago. I found one clip on UA-cam by searching for "@onefive - TAP!TAP!TAP! live at Spark 2022". That sounded like live singing, and they were all doing really well. I'm sure the Idol world is super competitive, but I'm cheering for those four.
@@rickwagner-Oh, you looked for it and watched it, thank you! Yeah, I felt their atmosphere was certainly different from other idol groups on that day. The other groups performed on the different stages in the venue too, but OneFive just this one time only. Their outfits were also clearly different from other frilly and very idol-like ones. They dance well, sing live, MC well, and they are only 17 and 18 years old... I felt like I watched something amazing thing.. But I also thought that Kano would not go back to the Avengers after all. On the day of the event, I asked a guy who said he has been a fan of the girls since Sakura Gakuin, and he told me that they has now begun to self-produce some of their own works and tried their hand at writing lyrics. So, well, it makes sense, but...
Great reaction Didy. Ningen Isu was formed in 1987 and the guitarist and bass player have been there since the beginning. The only change has been in the drummer and currently they're on their 4th drummer
This is an old video but interesting to see them back then - the bassist is looking funnyAF (hey, we all did back in the 80's!) but they all still sound pretty much like Black Sabbath. They dress differently now, of course, as a 19th century teacher (guitar), a monk (bass) and a Yakuza member (drums). I don't know why.
The show was in 1987 and called "cool band heaven". I'm pretty sure those are all the members currently in the band. Ken-ichi is playing a Rick. Might be where Miku got the idea to play one or maybe it just matched her battle dress. LOL
Miku said once it was decided she would learn guitar, she went to a music store, looked around and the look and the vibe of a Rick 620 hanging up just grabbed her. Like, That is my guitar. Done deal. She later acquired a 360. Which I dunno, memories of this guy might have been percolating in the back of her brain too, and/or imagining how the black and white would look with her outfit, but that is what she said. The look and feel also was what she liked about Zemaitis, but now having a bit of experience, found them easier for her to play well, and that cinched it for her.
@@jamesredman1263 Yep, I remember they were asking her why she got such an expensive guitar to learn on. LOL. One thing about Band-Maid, they do not kid around when it comes to their equipment.

This was a TV audition for the bands that are unknown during the band boom in the 80's.

Try the song "the caterpillar"

you can auto-translate subs to English, since they showed up in Japanese
