I thought the sound was fine. Their main influence has always been Black Sabbath. These guys have been together over 30 years! Scat singing is a singing style of jazz from the early 2oth century where meaningless words are used; hence the title "Heartless Scat". The idea behind this song is that he is praying to deities from various cultures for happiness, and at the end he realizes he should be praying for everyone.

"Heartless Scat" - Jazz scat - Meaningless gibberish. Fairly dark song. The "Shabadabadia" portion is the meaningless gibberish. What is the story of a man who feels that he's accomplished nothing and that all of his pleas to be loved and heard are nothing but meaningless gibberish.

[@ThePentagenarian]

Great choice my friend! I feel that this is one of the most amazing and underrated bands around.

[@dhimasainilirfan]

considering how old Ningen Isu is, it won't be a surprise if the song was already recorded way before the video clip made

[@ExUSSailor]

So, a Meiji college professor, the ghost of a buddhist monk, and, an Elvis impersonator walk into a bar...

[@SLASH-OYAJI]

It's just like the lyrics of this song, they were able to live with music thanks to this song. They love music, that's all. That's why I continued to live for a long period of time. It's a beloved band.🤘😎🇯🇵

[@AlanG512]

The part you pointed out where everything goes dark and he's basically praying is my favorite part of the song. Very doomy.

[@twoffo]

Thanks for reaction to Ningen Isu, one of my favorites. The person who suggested them obviously has great taste. The ironic thing about the lyrics of this song, asking why he couldn't taste success, is that this song got them a lot of new fans in the West as it is easily their most successful KZbin video. But they have many great songs, not surprisingly, given they have released 23 albums over 30+ years.

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.

[@NomadUniverse]

Shabababadia is the Scatting part of the Heartless Scat my friend.

[@RussInCanada]

This band friggin rules.

[@Raiden-R]

You'll be smiling by the end of the performance, right？😆😆😆❤❤❤❤❤

[@wilsonwade2970]

You should check out their latest one "Farewell to the World"

[@_minmin_.]

Great! Now listen to all their discography.

[@adidideen]

Another songs from them, Namahage and Toshishun with heavy riff and solo guitar. 🤘

[@wampabites]

Ningen Isu, "Human Chair". Their name is the title of a tale by Edogawa Ranpo (if it sounds like Edgar Allan Poe, it's just your imagination lol). Basically it's the story of a man that impersonated as a couch, and would accomodate anyone accordingly when they sit over him. Nothing really macrabre, kinda some crazy fetish going on.

[@daveminers3404]

Yes, you live life with failures and series of failures, but some people live life with very few successes, if any. Or love. I find the lyrics very relatable.

[@DianaRussia531]

Love these old dudes. They have an amazing back story that kind of mirrors this song. Google them and you will find some articles. Check out their live performance of Namahage. It's something you would like.

[@gbulmer]

Thank you for your unusually thorough and detailed reaction. Most reactors either don't hear as much, or can't articulate it. With 34 years of recordings, Ningen Isu have a warren of music to explore. Maybe try

[@Simon-jh1hf]

Farewell to the world next please :D
