KAZUKI TOMOKAWA IZO

[@nihilidron]

Miike and Tomokawa...awesome combination...

[@spikedjesus1]

To me it is still the most artistic movie ever made!

[@saintseiyablade]

IZO = Strongest anti-war movie ever made.

[@Letargian]

Tomokawa is fantastic

[@chefcloudy3760]

One of my favorite films... =]

[@Letargian]

one of the greatest songs in my opinion!

[@koffkoff]

there is a strong theme of existentialism in this film. Really enjoyed it.

[@Jolar70]

Such a beautiful song and I was very happy to read that the late renegade director, Koji Wakamatsu, also loved and employed Tomokawa. It makes so much sense with Tomokowa's unruly voice! If you watch the credits for "Shinjuku Mad" (1970), with great jam music by Food Brain, here on KZbin, you'll see an obvious comparison with this clip!

[@denny2689]

I like the movie and Tomokawa's music.

[@666laughingtarget]

it would be stupid to say i wished i knew japanese cause of this guy but damn. best folk music ever and i don't know what's going on.

[@fabriziocassetta4438]

Izo movie stands there with 2001: A Space Odyssey,Stalker and Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom:a terrific poker of works

[@Thebattousay]

this is a strong movie because anyone can integrate it! powerful!

[@dvduadotcom]

I would say the movie is more about Nihilism than anything else.

[@Letargian]

INTENSE

[@uccse]

I don't fucking care it's Christmas, I watch Izo.

[@t0xcn253]

big mood

[@PierreAndHate]

this movie putio mi vida ♥

[@loulou-xk9xj]

Really good song. Trés Bon son.

[@001239]

just watch the dvd, it's also translated there.

[@EighteenBuddha]

Miike is strong.

[@IIMaRVII]

@AlphonsePride its an experimental movie dude! and a fuckin good one its a very poetic movie and besides there is action all the time

[@OsakaBomb]

The video is a little out-of-context. It's a scene from Takashi Miike's film "Izo." It's a very unique film that deals pretty heavily in themes of existentialism. It's a good one, but it takes a couple viewings at times. It's worth it though, in my opinion.

[@croco13]

Maybe it's the best song I've listen this year. Can anybody send me Japanese lyric of this song, please? I tried to seek it but have no result. And I've just learn Japanese for about 3 months... :)

[@WooterSauce]

what this movie is plotless violence but I have a strange enjoyment from watching one-sided sword fights

[@IIMaRVII]

Hey. Id like to know whats the reason for the masked citizens at 0:55 i read the story behind it once but forgot about it. Its something about an island in japan. It's on the tip of my tongue. Would appreciate some information about it. Cheers

[@ronalcolin9068]

gat

[@HYEOL]

+Ronal Colin Iwojima?

[@claudiocappannari5759]

I don't know if my infos are right, i think those are parades from world war 2 : japan was expecting an american attack with chemical weapons, by doing this parade they were showing to population that they were organized to deal with that.

[@IIMaRVII]

nah. its in Miyake-jima. Its a part of the Izu island. The reason for the gas masks is sulfur dioxide pollution, caused by a nearby volcano. Citizens and tourists always need to wear the masks as a safety measure and it is still like that to this day. Claudio Cappannari

[@claudiocappannari5759]

Thanks, i was completely out of way then :) I tought of a demonstrative parade, because people on the sides of the road aren't wearing masks. Well, most likely it's a parade of their town , done elsewhere.

[@SpankytheTswana]

where are the yellow clips from? They seem to be from a documentary...

[@corso513]

Re: song subtitles. Depends on the edition of the DVD. I've seen two about, one of them has better subtitles in my opinon (deeper somehow). Unfortunately thought its not the edition with the song translations :(

[@IIMaRVII]

can someone tell me the name of the song please?

[@melkore31415]

I feel really sorry for the peaople that don't understand the meaning of this movie. reading is probably even more painful for them. what a waste....

[@Trockenbrett]

What is this video/song about? It's so sad and in the same time cruel.

[@Xebanily]

Does anyone happen to know what Tomokawa album this song comes from?

[@777ONESIX.]

Yo where my Phone 🤳🏻 😂

[@stefanodeimatti]

help me find the lyrics please

[@badHannibalecter]

I think it's just sone war time footage. Might be taken from a calamity excercise or something like that...

[@metalgt6828]
