This band was formed in 1987. The lead singer is dressed as a literary master from Meiji era. The bass is dressed as a Buddhist monk with white face (white color in Asia is correlated to death or after life) and drummer is dressed as a Yakuza gangster. The lyrics are often very poetic and literary with often using old and ancient words.

@@Guitargate Exactly, "Nin-Gen Issu" (with the "ge" like in "get") means "Human Chair" and is from a short story title by a Japanese writer whose pen name was "Edogawa Rampo" who was a fan of Edgar Allan Poe... Hence the pen name... Ningen Issu grew up listening to Black Sabbath as their main influence. They have a great catalogue, all on Spotify. Over 300 songs spanning over 30 years... My nickname for them are John Lennon, Uncle Fester and Elvis! Love those guys. Amazingly, they are about to start their first ever tour outside of Japan! (Edit: Thanks to @Freyja Kim, made a correction regarding the pronunciation bit at the beginning.)

A little explanation about the "sliding". They use elements of Japanese music and instruments like the Japanese Shamisen, a 3 string banjo style stringed instrument, in which the sweeping slide is used quite frequently. They are usually compared to Black Sabbath and classic style hard rock but most westerners will totally miss the Japanese traditional styles and writing in their music. The translation of the lyrics is a little...off. Some Japanese terms, sayings and words just don't have an English translation that would make sense to us as westerners. Btw, they are amazing live. Japan has a lot of great guitarists/artists that the west has no idea exists. I found this through first discovering Babymetal. Thru Babymetal I've discovered so much. Here is a great example of Japanese shamisen. Traditional 3 stringed instrument. It will show the sliding technique used by Ningen Isu (pronounced nin-gen-is, the G is a hard G and the U is very diminished to the point of silence) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5ixkKt_fdZ_i6M

Another note: Ningen Isu uses a lot of words that are not gonna be used commonly in modern Japanese. A lot of the words they use in this song are, like, antique words. Which makes translation even harder. You essentially need to make the translation Shakespeare-ish.

Great stuff. Ningen Isu is a hard rock band from northeastern Japan, formed in 1987. Their musical influences include Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, Black Sabbath, Budgie and Motörhead. Their lyrics are often based on literary themes and sources, mostly Japanese but also, for example, H.P. Lovecraft. I discovered them from a reaction video two years ago (thanks, Hedgy!) and I'm going to see them play in London in three weeks' time. I'll let you know how this song sounds live! :)

Jazz was huge in Japan post WW2 but as the decades went on all the other influences from the western world of music influenced their cultural as well. Heck even Buck Owens has a live from Japan album from 1967. And it’s really good. Anyhooot.... I’d like to see you break down Band-Maid’s song “Blooming”.

Dude! Thank you! 🙏 - your gut level ability to quickly assess and NAIL a concise summary is un-canny! It was totally a "Buddhist power trio!" but I didn't even know there was "such a thing" you crushed it! I was really impressed watching how you deconstruct this, very informative learning! - how you can transpose alternate tunings to standard without changing tunings! -- I like that the main thing was C# minor penta (progression wise) it's cool to know you can build a song around one main scale / chord -- Your instinct on the melodies through the transitions was awesome to watch....you have a great ear man - fun to watch you work with it -- I love that you talk about what it would take to cover something like this...very cool! I honestly don't know how I came across this...I think it was a KZbin Music algorithm....I'm going to Japan this year (first time) so I was doing a bunch of research on KZbin - this just "showed up" in my music stream and I was gobsmacked! I always love a good trio! This is their wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ningen_Isu Most of the stuff I found at first was live and strong.

If you listen to Alien Weaponry =band from New Zealand, they sing in their native tongue & are amazing. Look into one of their songs called 'Kai Tangata.' They have Sepultra/Pantera vibes but are young & because they sing in Maori it puts a totally new edge on metal. After I watched them, this song was recommended. I haven't a musical bone in my body & wish I knew what you were talking about when you were using all your music terms/ notes/ cords etc. but I enjoyed watching the band anyways. Its cool to watch someone have a love for something, I personally wouldn't have a clue what that must feel like.

I first heard Heartless scat in June 2019, and probably listened to it continuously on loop for the better part of the week! So perfectly composed and executed... The only other tune that has done that to me recently is this one from Muris Varajic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn3Ckomqjb92eZI I would be very interested in seeing you react to that!

Glad you're still doing this series! It's super interesting and informative to see you go through these and work out the theory and such as you analyze it. (I'm not at all impatient or upset in asking this) I suggested a couple songs for this last month on the Los Lonely Boys episode, and you said you'd give it a look. Any chance you're still planning on getting to them? If you just haven't got around to it yet, no rush I'm just curious. Also, if you checked them out and just weren't into it that's cool too, no worries. Regardless, keep up the great videos and this series. I'm loving it! :)

Gonin-Ish is another phenomenal band. They where like Japanese Prog metal and the singer sang in a language many do not speak in Japan because is it spiritual and tribal in nature. Amazing music.

You should definitely react to some live concerts of Led Zeppelin.. I recommend their 1973 MSG concert or 1970 at the Royal Albert Hall !

If you want to hear amazing please listen Versailles - Silent Knight live!!! It is instrumental piece from one of my favorite bands. The two guitarists are maybe best guitar compo ever. This is old song but absolute beautiful! :3 I can not say how excited I would be to see your take on this band and the guitar play~

Ningen Isu is a Japanese Doom Metal band, HEAVILY influenced by early Black Sabbath, but if you actually spent any time listening to their discography you'd know that.

'No Dorothy (sorry), they're not from Kansas'. They've been humping the sound universe for around 34 years in japan. All of them sing & have way different vibes. The more one searches for obscure bands from around the world you come to realize how constricted our musical palette is here in america, and yet foreigners who play western style music mostly draw all of their inspiration from american & british bands or solo artists. It's pretty imbalanced for a variety of F'ed-up reasons, mostly financial & professional competition. And yes, the translation sounds like it came out of a dictionary. All the subtlety of the japanese language & the deep meaning and significance it has for the japanese people is lost. But the music is not. I've heard them perform this live and I've got to say with the volume turned up and a litany of effect pedals, they did a great job matching a majority of the studio version's energy and fatness. Once they get into the grind, you can't help but headbang. Some of the harmonies are blatantly not there but the bass stands out just as much. The fact that each instrument is prominantly displayed & respected adds a great deal to making this a significant piece of modern music. Thanks for the clear & present breakdown Michael. As always great job
