shabadaba is the scat part. Scat Singing, in music, jazz vocal style using emotive, onomatopoeic, and nonsense syllables instead of words in solo improvisations on a melody.

Really appreciated and enjoyed your attitude here, and your enjoyment of his solo on the beach won you a subscriber. This was a lot of fun to watch!

人間椅子を紹介してくれてどうも有難う！ 彼らは日本で長く下積みで、ついこの前までアルバイトをしながらバンドを続けて来ました。 日本ではそれほど本物のバンドで成功するのが難しいのです。 それがこのKZfaqの「無情のスキャット」のお陰で欧米に注目され、新型コロナ直前の今年始めに初のヨーロッパツアーを行いました。ドイツと英国の小さなライブハウスでそれは実現しました。 ライブは大成功だったと言えると思います。 ３月には北米でロックフェスに出演することが決まっていましたが、残念なことに新型コロナのせいで中止になりました。 彼らはブラック・サバスを信奉し、白塗りのベースプレイヤー鈴木研一はキッスの大ファンでもあります。 早く、本当に早く新型コロナが克服され、彼らが北米ツアーに出れることを願っています。 そしてメタルフェスで喝采を浴びて欲しい。 それでこそ、彼らの30年間の労苦が報われる日だと思うからです。 彼らを紹介してくれて本当に有難うございました！ Thank you for introducing me to Ningen-isu. They have been in Japan for a long time and have been working part time until recently. It's not that easy to be a real band in Japan. But thanks to Heartless Scat on KZfaq, they got the attention of the West and did their first European tour earlier this year, just before the new Corona. It happened in small live venues in Germany and the UK. I'd say the live shows were a great success. In March, they were scheduled to play a rock festival in North America, but unfortunately they had to cancel it due to the new corona. They are devotees of Black Sabbath, and the white-painted bass player Kenichi Suzuki is a big fan of KISS. I hope that the new Corona is overcome soon, really soon, and that they get to tour North America. And I hope they get an ovation at Metal Fest. Because that would be the day their 30 years of hard work would be rewarded. Thank you so much for introducing them to us.

They have never achieved serious recognition until this song. Album after album, they are recognized by niche music listeners, but have never charted in (or out of) Japan. This video on KZfaq absolutely blew them up, and finally led to them getting to do a (very small) international tour, their American dates cancelled due to the COVID lockdown...

They played in London, and Europe before the lockdowns.

Scat refers to a vocal style that focuses on nonsense words in rythm

One of the best prog metal band ever.

Ningen Isu formed in 1987. Shinji Wajima (guitar) influenced by The Beatles, King Crimson, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Kenichi Suzuki (bass) was a KISS fan. Their Drummer Nobu Nakajima join the band in 2004 until now.

One of my favorite Japanese bands. The lyrics are superb.

NINGEN ISU have been a very small band for most of the time they have been around. They are one of the bands that have been caught up in people looking in to Japanese music, due to Babymetal, and the people started to ask reactors, like yourself to check them out (proof of free advertising) and slowly they started to get bigger in the west. They did start to tour around the world at the start of this year, but that had to stop.

Scatman John's scat Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub Yo da dub dub Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop bop bodda bope Bop ba bodda bope Be bop ba bodda bope Bop ba bodda bope Ningen Isu's scat Shabadabadia shabadabadia shabadabadia Babababa Lulululululululululululu...

I love this song. It is sort of prayer for success and what happened... this video got viral, They did their first tour overseas. 2 gigs in Germany, 1 gig in London, England and heading for USA and then the Coronashit happened... these guys deserve more attention worldwide!!! And I ordered the 30 anniversary CD and got a Ningen Isu towel and a guitarpick... niiiice! ;-)

All three of them is 55 years old in 2021, born 1965 and 1966.

First of all, congrats on 1K subs!! Next milestone will be... 5K? 😀 And Ningen Isu (pronounced neen-gen-ee-su) is one of my favorites as of late. I found out about this awesome band just several months back and they're already on my daily basis playlist. They have many great songs to react to. Try checking out "The Colour Out of Space", their horror-themed song that's equally awesome.

The "Shabadabadia" bit is the scat part

I was totally engaged for the entire eight-minute duration of the song. I love the innovative riffs and shifting rhythms, combined with stellar singing and superb song arrangements. This is the first song I've heard. This makes me want to hear more from this band.

Try "Mountains of Madness" where the guitarist uses a Theremin.

Definitely need to check out Namahage from them. My favorite song of theirs

Scatman Crothers had passed away in 1989, but Scatman John appeared in 1994. And now this song has come to let people remember the original meaning of the word 'scat'.

a few months late here... the shabadabadia part is the heartless scat. the style of singing without using actual words. it's very common in jazz. it's usually done in a very happy attitude, like trying to imitate a jazz trumpet......but he does it in disheartened(i guess that's the "heartless" part of the song title, lost in translation) way. in my humble opinion that adds a lot to the song. it's like simulating singing while singing....like some sort of meta-singing.....

Check their official music videos "Love Nirvana" .... that's another absolute banger.

I don't understand why so many musician don't know what scat is.

Shabadabadia babababa doesn't mean anything. If it did, it would no lnoger be a scat.

Never underestimate the grandpas from Japan 😆

ありがとう！！

A couple suggestions: From Japan: Yousei Teikoku (Fairy Empire) - Astral Dogma or Kuusou Mesorogiwi (Schwarzer Sarg for later if you like them) - Be careful with them, though. I've heard they're pretty trigger-happy on blocks. From Mongolia: The HU Band - Wolf Totem (original or the version featuring Jacoby Shaddix) Big recommendation: Closed Captions on for all the videos!

Depois de Tokyo Blade e loudness, lovebites e ningen isu quebrando a barreira do incontestável e tomando de assalto o mundo ocidental como seu som pesado, brutal e de boa qualidade, taí esses dois exemplos.

Subscribed for your opening thank you. I hope you like Ningen Isu.

Great King Of Terror is one of my favorites. Theirl lives are really good, his voice projects really well and clean

I recommond "On the Mountain of Madness" and "Namahage" from Ningen Isu, they are brilliant, and if you like Namahage then you will like "Lovers suicide in Shinagawa".

Shabadabadia is THE Heartless Scat. Scat as in jazz singing, shoobidoobidoo...

There's a band from India called Agni. Check out "Tandav."

Branch out to other countries you say? How about Aurora, from Norway. Different country, different music, different human being (sorry, that sounds cheesy). For example "It happened quiet" Live at The Current. Or maybe more rock, this time from Mexico, in The Warning (Dust To Dust). Metal from New Zealand in Shepherds Reign (Le Manu). Nordic folk from people from several different countries (Germany, Norway and Denmark) in Heilung. I could go on, but I believe your list is already miles long.

Pronounced Ningen Iss. Great band!

I think you need to decide why it’s called “Heartless Scat”. To me, the message is the universe is a cold, brutal place and we need to seek the warmth of the light that shines in the hearts of other people.

I’m pretty sure the drummer is also an Elvis impersonator

What makes that final two-part solo for me is the fact that he double-tracked it, every time I hear it I get chills. It's awesome.

japan is an island, there are Beaches literally all around.....

Grandpa Rock........Rocks! This is a fun band that has put in the time and effort and is finally getting the recognition it deserves, mostly due to this song on KZfaq (that's how I found them, it was on my suggested list and I clicked). There is still a lot of good J-Rock and J-Metal bands you are going to love seeing and reacting to. You may want to try something from X Japan, a very influential Japanese metal/glam/progressive band. Peace.

Ningen Isu - Sound of Nothing is pretty awesome. What I'd REALLY like to see you react to is a German band called Fäulnis, the song called Angstzustand... very awesome. Also, anything by the band Odradek Room... I especially like the song Faded Reality...

Doom metal legends!

👍✨

If you want to hear a great band from Montery Mexico check out The Warning. They are 3 sisters ages 15, 18,and 20. They have an EP and 2 full length albums out and just signed with Lava/ Republic records and are in the studio right now recording there 3rd album!

This is th K-on Death Devil song.................

Google "scat" vocal style.

try listening to Guitar Wolf. :)

Metal used to be a white male fest in the eighties, Nightwish brought in the women, later joined by Epica... Now we need the non whites to join... we are a very inclusive community... If you love the music, we love you! Now Asian metal is exploding, but I can still remember black (bands) in metal in the eighties and nineties... Try Fishbone, Bad Brains, Death... so much history in black metal bands...

6:58 nah ur not missing anything

You dont know about scat???

it doesn't mean anything at all. They made up the whole thing to sound cool.
