Ningen Isu - Heartless Scat REACTION

[@Anvilshock]

Who the hell are you insignificant twerp and why would people ever watch you, let alone watch you do nothing while others show actual talent? Get the hell out of my Recommendations list!

[@JohnG_YT]

Geez, take a chill pill ? I bet even the band themselves would not approve this kind of commentary 🙄 Ah,KZbin comments are fun! 😄

[@javiedames]

Your j7s : a punk

[@Anvilshock]

@@JohnG_YT Well, why would I possibly send commentary about YOU to the channel of THEIRS? How do you even function with such major brain damage that would produce such comprehensive failure?

[@JohnG_YT]

Jesus christ you are still on it? I wanted to be nice but okay... This is MY channel and use it to share my thoughts on music,bands,trailers and other stuff.Take a look down in the comments you are LITERALLY the ONLY ONE being a massive asshole here.Most people share actual information about the band,lyrics etc. And then there is you... Most people would just delete the video they don't like from their recommended,but apparently you can't even do that.(BTW: Three little dots next to the title of the video,click them and click "Not Interested- you're welcome) I though you just had a shitty day,so you nonsensically vented your rage on me here. But guess you have bigger problems than that,because people who are happy don't havethe need to write stuff like this. Go work on that before you start writing nonsense on KZbin. But if you wanna start with a clean slate and actually talk about Ningen Isu,i'm all up for that :)

[@Anvilshock]

@@JohnG_YT I can see that this is your channel, Captain Obvious. My question was why would people possibly indulge in your obnoxious, terribly lit faces while armchair-critiquing works of people with actual skill and talent in the first place. In other words, what are your qualifications beyond happening to have fly-papered a collection of viewers through KZbin's dubious inner workings? Surely your over-exaggerated pale mug that occupies at least 40 % of the thumbnail images that makes your channel's video list look like a shitty emoji set can't possibly be that interesting on its own to justify any interest in your channel whatsoever. Also, why do you think I _didn't_ use that "Not interested" function anyway? Thought yourself pretty clever when you wrote those lines about that super obscure function, eh?

[@yokan5597]

Thank you for discovering Ningen Isu. We Japanese love music outside of Japan. We grew up listening to the world's hit songs. We got used to Western music purely without knowing the language. I am very happy about your reaction. Their songs have local accents, classical and artistic expressions, and many songs that are difficult to translate, but please enjoy the sounds and music.

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

Yokan. Well said ! 👍

[@LukeHellwalker]

Japanese music gave me so much joy in life. I owe your culture! Love from Germany

[@scottclark7592]

Love the music-and it goes both ways-I dont understand japanese-but can still feel the meaning. Even if rock is in ones native language the words are often blurred or misunderstood. With you it is pure feeling- thanks!

[@Necronomous]

I love japanese metalbands. They got something many doesn't have acctually and that is perfection. That is what japanese culture are about. Perfection in life, makes your life happy. I mean look at crime statistics between Japan and Sweden. Japan almost got NONE! I we would have a wendingmachine-place in Sweden, everything would be smashed to pieces. Not in Japan! If we leave something outside our doors. It will be gone the day after. Stolen by someone. But that doesn't happen in Japan. Tokyo one of the worlds biggest cities, are the most clean city in the world. No thrash or anything on the ground. Visit Stockholm, and there are gum, gumpapers, smoked cigarettes tossed on ground, paper and some thrash here and there. But not in Tokyo. I mean. WOW! One of my dreamdestinations is Japan. Wanna visit Japan for vacation, but hardworking shit like me, doesn't even got afford to visit Japan, because about 50% are taking in taxes by government and the state of your salary. Well. 32% of your salary at first, then 20% more are taken by rest of the bills you are paying to get roof over your head.

[@KrunchM]

Hello from Canada! I just discovered Ningen Isu yesterday and have been listening to them nonstop ever since. Do you have any other recommendations for heavy music from Japan?

[@ClawCarver]

Ningen Isu is a great band. Good to see them gaining traction outside Japan because of KZbin. At the end, when it was about to autoplay The Colour Out Of Space, I was hoping you would just let it run. That's the song that made me a fan. Check it out some time! (Also, the "shabadabadia" refrain is the "scat" of the title. Scat is improvised wordless singing, most often heard in jazz.)

[@MaskedRiderChris]

YES! I love "The Colour Out Of Space"! Kenichi's tortured groans in the middle really add to the feeling of that song. A band that are Lovecraft disciples are OK by me!

[@saidoterodiseno]

@@MaskedRiderChris I strongly suggest "Great king of terror". It's BRUTAL!

[@MaskedRiderChris]

@@saidoterodiseno Yup! I got the album that's on in Tokyo recently, and the rest of the album is excellent as well.

[@Hiedano_Are]

「Heartless Scat」 If you, Holy Angels, do exist in this universe, Will you bless me on the cheeks? With my painful effort never paid off. I've just been standing in the shadow, Will the day come someday when I can fly high in the sky? Will the day come when I can see the sun? Tell me, Holy Angels. Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa If you, Divine Goddess, are staying hidden somewhere, Why don't you smile at me on my forehead? I've never tasted the nectar of victory. I’ve never succeeded in love. Will the day come when I can get intoxicated by the victory? Will the day come when I can embrace love? Tell me, Divine Goddess. Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Countless stars are twinkling in the sky. Every one of us is under them, with a thousand wishes in each heart. Lululu Lululu… If you, Lord Buddha, really exist in some place, Please have mercy on me, too. Having nothing precious in my possession, Desolated, Isolated, I've been living my life with a series of failures. Will the day come when I can totally be satisfied? Will the day come when my dreams come true? Tell me, Lord Buddha. Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Shine a light on my life Shine a light on my future Shine a light on every creature Shine a light on tomorrow for all

I have liked this group since my grand daughter introduced me back in '90 or '91. The bass player, Ken-Ichi, does the lead vocals for many of their songs, and I lean towards those for my favorites.

13:51 There is no particular meaning in "Shabadaba～" I think. It is one of the phrase of scat!! I'm glad that you came across Ningen Isu. Thank you!!!!!

[@zenbra_deutsch3500]

Ningen Isu is the Black Sabbath of Japan. The bassist Suzuki is a haunting monk probably from the underworld (white colour in Japanese culture, specially a very white face or person symbolizes death, ghosts, the supernatural). The guitar player/vocalist Wajima is a Meijei Master (a professor that taught many subjects includying Martial Arts) and the drummer Nakajima is a Yakuza member as they use to wear in a 70's style. Thy use a lot of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovercraft, Buddhism, Humor, Eroticism, History. Ningen Isu goes from Prog and Hard Rock to Heavy Metal/Doom Metal.

[@ENEshorty14]

Your reaction was exactly mine , like about 20 minute ago lol. It was in my recommendations and I'm hooked🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

'Knee Gen (as in 'get') 'E'su (though the u is mostly silently). Thank you for reacting to this. The bass player was so entertaining, his facial expressions are awesome. The lyrics if you watch in English are quite human. No matter what religion you follow, at some point, or many, you just want to throw your hands up to the sky asking for when things will be good, when will you be blessed. The point is we are blessed everyday even if we don't know or realize it. Love this!

Very true! Sometimes it's important to reflect on things and be thankful for what we have,rather than be angry about what we don't have :) Thank you for your nice comment! :)

[@eviljesus84]

It's been some time since high school, about twenty years actually, but I could totally see my professors in this band. Specifically my history teacher - I used to share all sorts of records with him, from Police, to King Crimson and Soft Machine - there was also my Physics teacher, who we - quite understandably - called Satan; he had the habit of wearing a Kat (i.e. Executioner - it's an old polish metal band) tee shirt to school.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

I just discovered this band recently as well, scored a couple of their CDs the other day while I was in Shibuya (Tokyo), and I'm crazy about them too! You can tell these guys have been around for ages and they have a huge groove, too. It's also really well produced; you can easily hear everything that's going on, and that matters because most metal albums are either too polished or too raw, with no real middle ground most of the time. This found that middle ground perfectly. I agree, Japan always delivers something interesting and special with their bands, for sure, and there's also a bumper crop of good all female bands happening there right now, I might add.
