Ningen Isu is a wonderful and historic band. The songs are always impressive.

Badass !!! They deserve more recognition!! 🤘🤘🤘

Japan's Black Sabbath. What's not to love. It's awesome that us older folk can still rock out.

Check out their song Namahage.

I only know a few of these guy's songs but everything I've heard so far is 'top shelf' for sure!!

Have fun with these fellas!

You had me laughing at your sheer enjoyment of this. 🤣 Shinji (guitar) and Ken-Ichi (bass) are schoolmates and formed the band in 1987. You got their influences right, and KISS is also an influence. They are such a fun band. They even do camping videos and reactions to themselves in their channel. I think you should check out "The Colour Out of Space" next. 💪

lol yes you did thanks thought you might dig this one they are our peers lol and still rocking out

人間椅子 aka: Ningen Isu, translates to "Human Chair". It's pronounced neen-gehn ee-su (with a hard "g"). These legends have been around for almost 40 years and have consistently produced a solid catalog of currently 23 original albums. Their newest album, "Matter is Void" came out just a few months ago. In the interest of helping to promote it, I recommend their newest official MV: "Farewell to the World" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hqd4nMpj2azJfKs.html

he has a guitar from Tony Iommi you were correct about the influences they have been doing this since 1987 and have 22 records "at the mountains of madness" should be the next song you do by them the live version he plays a Theremin on stage as well as guitar H.P. Lovecraft is also a big influence to them a few songs inspired by Lovecraft

🤣 I bet that when you started your KZfaq journey you never imagined that one day you'd be sitting in front of your computer reacting to 3 guys dressed as a Meiji Scholar , a Buddhist Monk and a Yakuza Gangster singing in Japanese and playing heavy metal - but I'll also bet that you're glad it's come to this . As a follow up song I'd recommend " At the Mountains of Madness " live which has the added bonus of Shinji playing the theremin or perhaps their latest MV release " Farewell to the World " Enjoy

I might have been living under a rock, I discovered them only a few months ago! If you don't headbang to their songs, you should take your pulse!

Welcome to my second favorite band out of Japan behind Band Maid. Such a good band! I would suggest "Namahage" by them

The Principal, Vice Principal and Superintendent of SG Old Schoolary!

try farewell to the world from them :D

I have the album from which this song comes from and their latest album. They have been around since the mid 1980s and done it all years before anyone else. There are some great live MVs around, one where the guitarist uses a theremin. There is also a video of him and Kanami (Band-Maid) having a guitar battle. I agree- sabbath all over. I saw the Paranoid and Master Of Reality tours in 1971 and 72.

If they had been born in the USA they would be recognized on the same level as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, or Deep Purple.

I recommend another older band that is very popular and highly influential, called Maximum the Hormone. I've seen more than a few people call them the Japanese System of a Down, but those people clearly have never heard of Mr. Bungle. Anyway, they are a very impressive band to say the least and most of their stuff is wild and often weird, so I recommend starting off with one of their best song which is a little less weird. "Yoshuu Fukushuu" (予襲復讐) aka "Preparing for Revenge" official MV: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMt-aMihmrPWlI0.html

Pretty good, eh? _Another_ Japanese band that's made me question what I've been doing the last thirty years.
