They have been together for 30+ years and play like the old bands of the late 60's and 70's. What showmanship as well!! Hey love the young guns, but this AARP band is letting you know don't you dare forget about us!!! So glad they are now having some success and able to give up their day jobs and work on the music that they clearly love and man when was the last time I heard riffs like that!!!! Absolutely a great request and thank you for reacting to them!!!
Fantastic band and song, these guys have been around for about 30 years and have a huge (and incredibly consistently strong) discography. Really recommend you try their tracks Great Lord of Terror and The Colour Out of Space. If you're a fan of fat groovy no nonsense riffs these guys are the best.
Ningen Isu is Japan's Black Sabbath/Dio. They're together for 30 over years, touring Europe in 2019: the band goes from Prog and Hard Rock to Heavy Metal/Doom Metal. Lyrics based on Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovercraft, Buddhism, Humor, Eroticism, History. The bassist Suzuki is a haunting monk probably from the underworld (white colour in Japanese culture symbolizes death, specially a very white face or person: ghosts, the supernatural). The guitar player/vocalist Wajima is a Meijei Master (a professor that taught many subjects includying Martial Arts) and the drummer Nakajima is a Yakuza member as they use to wear in a 70's style.
The guy has an extensive pedal board. This song ROCKS !! Agreed the bass is prevalent in the mix. At 4:11 things get.................. Awesome!!!! Human Chair gets some shred!! Oops I was commenting on a different performance. Agreed....more gong!
That the thing i like in japanese band like Ningen Isu or Maximum the Hormone, is that they can ALL sing. This is absolutely not usual and really great! In fact, this is even better, has their music for both bands are great too !
I found these guys about 2 years ago....they KILL! Point is...they've been together since the late 80's, and we yanks are just hearing them now. Baldman...Japan is where it's at in rock right now. Check out 88 pilgrimage and Bandmaid!
If you want some more Japanese Doom/Stoner metal, you should check out a band called Boris. They're absolute Legends in the scene, and I think you'd dig it
Not my favourite song, but a perfect showcase of their mastership. I have really enjoyed blasting their Kyomu no koe, Uchuu kara no iro, kyofu no daimaou and the other single which I do not know how to read - 品川心中 :D Such a fun band :D So glad you enjoyed this too, baldman! Never can have too many fans :D
"I disagree. I think something we can both agree sounds thin is a tele," I disagree. Certain tele's can have a thin tone, but tele's with humbuckers can have thick robust tones. A standard tele can sound thin, but there are some killer sounding tele's with humbuckers that I would take over an SG any day. Tele's also don't tend to have the tuning stability issues of an SG.
@@Baldmann A tele with humbuckers sounds nothing like a tele, but at least it's capable of thick sg like sound in that case. Once you lose the single coil with metal baseplate, it becomes a telecaster shaped guitar, without tele sound. I guess you could thin out the sg if you adapted the tele pickup to fit. If you run into tuning stability issues on gibson, you can usually resolve that by rubbing the string through the nut, like a file. Those tuning issues usually go away when the nut breaks in. I realize the sg is physically thin but that has little effect on the way it sounds. The majority of a guitars tone comes from the neck wood and thickness, plus the pickups, also if it has a trem things change because of the strings. The neck and pickups, for the most part are the same as the les paul.
" A tele with humbuckers sounds nothing like a tele, " It's still a tele, and my point still stands. "but at least it's capable of thick sg like sound in that case" As previously stated, I do not feel that SG's have a thick tone. They are not single coil Strat thin tones, but they are thinner than alot of other guitar shapes. "If you run into tuning stability issues on gibson, you can usually resolve that by rubbing the string through the nut, like a file. Those tuning issues usually go away when the nut breaks in. " Even with a well worn nut, SG's still have tuning stability issues. They certainly have them more than other guitar styles. It's well known, and I am not the first to say it. " realize the sg is physically thin but that has little effect on the way it sounds" This is simply not true. The body, and it's thickness does have a major effect on tone. "The majority of a guitars tone comes from the neck wood and thickness," This is incorrect. The body, and pick ups affect tone more than the neck. The tone woods, thickness, and if it is solid, semi hollow, or hollow body affect the tone more than the neck does. The SG may use the same pick ups of a Les Paul, but it doesn't have the same thick, rich tone, or natural sustain. The body shape, and thickness are a big reason why.
Hey man, haven't made a request in awhile. Check put Crossbreed- Underlined. They were a pretty popular local band in Tampa(where i'm from) In the late 90's-early 2000's. Part of the whole industrial goth scene
Stumbled on this, the guitariat, Wajima, talking about his pedal board and effects. Worth a watch, he's very articulate about effects. has subtitles. ua-cam.com/video/CVYORMwCzMs/v-deo.html
i never thought that someone would ever do a 人間椅子 reaction,this channel is awesome! (edit: if you liked this you should definitely react/or just check out "Onmyouza - Seiten no mikadzuki' ua-cam.com/video/fcVSDmJmJfU/v-deo.html )
海外の方のリアクションに感謝です。
Ningen Isu(人間椅子) means The Human Chair.
Namahage(なまはげ) means Ogres in Akita, Japan.

Great commentary! I love to hear people who are enthusiastic about this band!

First time hearing these guys, damn this is awesome.
This band is a great surprise for me hahaha. I Love it! And they have awesome lyrics too.

We've been Rocked by some awesome guys from Japan now please tour here we will come if you tour!
日本語訳でみれたらいいのにー
何故かこの曲が好きな人はこの髪型だな。「なまはげ」だけに(笑)
I clapped at the end! This and Church of Misery sound great; will check out more of their stuff. Thank you, Baldman!
You will love Ningen Isu's "Odoru Issunboushi", "Heartless Scat" and "The Coulour Out Of Nowhere", specially live.
That the thing i like in japanese band like Ningen Isu or Maximum the Hormone, is that they can ALL sing. This is absolutely not usual and really great!
In fact, this is even better, has their music for both bands are great too !
Oh yes, you finally reacted to them! :D
They're so fun.
I love the costumes. I was thinking "The singer looks like a professor." Sure enough that is the look he is going for. These guys are awesome.

I've covered Band Maid. I think Portugal have a more diverse Rock, and Metal scene, but there are some great bands coming out of Japan.
Great reaction as always!!
なまはげー！ ズゾゾ(ココア
you’re a matching head with the men of the bass!
very cool!!!
yEEEEEEES my fav song!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for reacting it xD
「針の山」も良いですよ。

Try sigh Scarlet dream
Sigh is another unique Japanese band with unique style
Avant garde black metal band
If you want some more Japanese Doom/Stoner metal, you should check out a band called Boris. They're absolute Legends in the scene, and I think you'd dig it
thanks baldman, first impression for this band is so awesome. thanks for this video
I agree these guys are amazing. If you liked this check out Church Of Misery as well.
Okay, thanks for your suggestion
And this is a 3 piece band! They sound Bigger!
Ningen-isu is considered the Japanese Black Sabbath.
Don't remember anybody saying they're Japanese Black Sabbath in Japan.
NINGEN ISU HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1987 AND THEY ARE SO TALENTED .. THE LYRICS ARE VERY GOOD TOO :)
人間椅子reaction有我とね👍
なまは～げぇって言う度笑っちゃってごめんなさいw
Love it.
Black Sabbath, King Crimson + Cthulhu, that's what Ningen Isu has always been feeding of.
Yes at last, nice one.
Love the videos! You should consider giving Flower Travellin' Band's album Satori a listen, Japanese psych/doom from 1971. Pretty innovative stuff.
Not my favourite song, but a perfect showcase of their mastership.
I have really enjoyed blasting their Kyomu no koe, Uchuu kara no iro, kyofu no daimaou and the other single which I do not know how to read - 品川心中 :D
Such a fun band :D So glad you enjoyed this too, baldman! Never can have too many fans :D
品川心中=Shinagawa Shinjuu
Tony iommi also plays sg and doesn't have a thin tone. I don't think sgs have thin tone.
I do think SG's have a thin tone. They certainly do not provide tones as thick as other guitars do.

Their new PV "Heartless Scat" is ace if you've not seen it yet: ua-cam.com/video/CbI79e5iZKs/v-deo.html
I shot a video for it, but a windows update screwed up my settings, and the voice audio was horrible.
Ah, bugger!
Stumbled on this, the guitariat, Wajima, talking about his pedal board and effects. Worth a watch, he's very articulate about effects. has subtitles.

I love doom, so these guys make me happy.
It's BLACKSABBATH！
I'm a new fan of this band Ningen isu
I got two of their albums
Very good band with a unique style
I love these guys. Check out their song The Colour Out Of Space. I think you'll enjoy it.
New live clip arrived.

Reminds me of bloodlines by slayer.

I've read that two of their biggest influences are Black Sabbath and early King Crimson.
Please react to odoru issunbossi from ningen isu too. Thx
