I really love Ningen Isu and when people learn about them, because they deserve much more recognition than they have. These guys are just so damn talented. One of my favorite songs of them is Namahage, I like how heavy it is and even tho Shinji Wajima is a master at shredding in Namahage his shredding is just chefs kiss imo.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody nice, when you're checking it out I'd recommend the UA-cam video as they have a pinned comment with translated lyrics for that song, if you're interested what they're singing about
For now, my favorite song of theirs is Imomushi. But I have only heard the anniversary album and their two newest ones. Out of...what, 22, I think? Genuinely not a single song out of those 4 CDs that I dislike or feel like skipping sometimes. None. When I think about not being able to get into this type of 70s/80s hard-rock in the first place. There's just something about these guys. And you're right, their obvious enjoyment is infectious.
I love the approach you have to this channel, even though i was mostly in touch with metal music over the years but there is so much stuff that just passes you by its a shame to not get to know it. If you enjoy something more proggy with groovy and melodic elements give Be'lakor a try, the song Much more was lost is a perfect example of this. Much appreciated, thanks.

These guys have over 200 Songs and I only know about 20% of their stuff, but my favorite song by far is "Love Suicide at Shinagawa" It's from their 2006 album and they have a music video for it, so you can check it out.
Real quick on the pronunciation of their name. Ningen, the G is a hard G. G as in "gun" or "gone". Ni is pronounced like "Knee". So Ningen is Neen ghen. And Isu is pronounced "is" or "iz". The u is either silent or barely-vocalized (a hint of the u) but vocalizing the u is acceptable. Neen ghen is or Neen ghen isu. Japanese pronunciation class, dismissed.😂😂😂
This is in fact my favorite one. Toshishun means suffering. And has to do with a Chinese tale. tsunezawa.blogspot.com/2012/01/toshishun-ryunosuke-akutagwa.html
I saw them 2020 in Germany. What a experience! These guys are Legends!
I would love to see em!

Give Gotsu Totsu Kotsu a listen as well! Massive metal!
Just added to the list! Thank you so much for the recommendation friend!
Nice video! One suggestion is turn the subtitles on, to get the lyrics meanings. It's also a interesting point.
Other nice song: "Namahage"
I appreciate the input! I will for sure! Thanks

Where would I be without you?!?! Thanks homie! Much love
Japanese stoner doom at it`s absolute finest. It`s got to be Namahage next dude.
I have that coming! I loveeee this band
Hard 'g' in Ningen like in "get".. you keep saying "carrot chair" instead of "human chair" otherwise :]
Next country: India. Check these indian bands: Bloodywood, Demonic Resurrection, Sitar Metal.
HELL YEA! thanks for the recommendations
Are you only reacting to metal & rock adjacent music?
I'm down for anything friend
