They are amazing musicians. Love it.
Believe it or not, this song covers some of the same subject matter (Oni, or Japanese ogres/demons) as the BABYMETAL song 'Catch Me If You Can'.
I believe this one was released a bit after the BABYMETAL song, although it's a popular theme.
Has anyone mentioned that "Ningen Isu" means "Human Chair"?
The name comes from a short story by Edogawa Rampo, the Japanese mystery and thriller writer.
Live? Check out their live song 'At the Mountains of Madness'
More than a little similar, they cite Black Sabbath as their main influence. The singer/lead guitarist plays a Gibson SG, just like Tony Iommi, and in fact he even has an iommi autographed one! This band is outstanding.
Love nirvana ningen isu, its so simple but very efective
TOSHISHUN is a recent video and a great song. Look also for live footage from the 1980s, such as their cover of 21st Century Schizoid Man (they have a Prog Rock side also).
It’s common in Japan to prohibit recording the performances, because record labels. I think this is a recent video.
I'm going to recommend their song the caterpillar
Yes. This song is insane.
In Japan they will kick you straight out of the venue for taking pictures or recording. Often without a warning.
I recommend you "Toshishun", their latest masterpiece. By the way, you pronounced "namahage" perfectly.
You will not find cellphones in a Japanese audience. They are asked not to use them during the show, so they don't. Imagine that. I also get the comparison to Black Sabbath but I am going to compare them with AC/DC, not in musical styles but rather in how they approach music. They have a formula they are somehow able to repeat yet keep it fresh and awesome with every release. It never gets old. In reality, they list King Crimson as a primary influence. If you go far enough into their past you'll find them doing King Crimson (as well as Sabbath) covers. One of the funniest and most awesome things I've ever seen is a 1998 cover they do of Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze with the guitar player dressed as Jimmy with an afro wig and blackface. Come on man.... A Japanese Jimmy Hendrix in wig and blackface singing Purple Haze with a Japanese accent? Hilariously awesome. Side note, if you truly want your mind blown, check out the Chinese Metal Band "Voodo Kungfu" with the video titled "Voodoo Kungfu - Theocracy - Live at Dayun Arena". I promise you, it's mind blowing. Not just the band but the fact that concert is in China. Who knew China had a metal scene? A major intense one at that. Watch the crowd closely, you can actually pick the secret police out of the crowd. They were banned from performing in China for that song, and are now based out of California. Check out the lyric video for it to find out why but I would not recommend the lyric video as a reaction because it is intentionally disturbing. The dude has something to say... and he says it. Regardless, Voodoo Kungfu is legitimate metal.
Ken-ichi Ken-ichi Ken-ichi!
23 albums...... for now.
Mountain of Madness, with theremin instrument and Cthulhu vibes.
Very yes.
A Samurai, a Buddhist monk, a Yakuza mobster and the darkest literary side of Humanity = Ningen Isu !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Samurai? No. Rather, he is a teacher from ~300 years ago.
@@Wirmish Good!
These Guys are Savages!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Namahage is japans boogeyman
Now that you are checking the classics, I recommend you to take a look into SEIKIMA-II. They looked like KISS, but they were a lot better.

No cellphones in Japan.... well... not at a show.
Japan has many unwritten social rules, but I believe the most important one to know is cell phone etiquette. What you might consider normal phone usage in your home country could come off as quite inappropriate in Japan.
