【For Overseas fans】Interview about EU tour in English by Leo Imai /part.1

[@ルアーマン-h2x]

海外ツアー、ファンとして、めちゃくちゃ嬉しいです。嬉しいのにこの動画見たら、涙が出てきました。感動です。長年ファンで良かった。世界に羽ばたいて下さい。

[@Khunvyel]

You cannot help but love them, as the genuine and passionate musicians and people they are. As far as I could hear, they don't use studio trickery like robotic time alignment and autotune, and on some songs it even feels like they're not even recording to a metronome but letting the drummer feel out the beat. It's refreshingly pure. I'm glad I found this band :) It took a few recommendation hops from youtube as I looked for something similar to another japanese band I quite enjoy. I'm really glad to have found Ningen Isu. Congratulations to their anniversary and the concerts they booked overseas - I hope people fill the venues to the brim!

[@pf100andahalf]

@Khunvyel, well said.

[@straydogFPV]

this is exactly why i get chills and the chickenskins in the neck only just hearing them speak - its awe inspiring and deeply humbling to see their personalities shine aswell as their unbelievably mastery of writing and composing aswell as working together in seemingly an unbreakable harmony shared to all who have eyes and ears :)

[@arujimushi9318]

LEO今井さん　素晴らしいインタビューです🤘🤘🤘　ありがとう😊

[@akira386]

I love how Ningen Isu doesn't mix English words in the lyrics, unlike most Japanese bands. To me it sounds much better that way.

[@gumballthechewy]

They do on a couple songs, for example thier song "Shinkei-shou I Love You"

[@badlands4570]

I have disliked Japanese hard rock band whose lyrics is not English. But, after re-realizing Ningen Isu, I am aware that I have wrong understanding about format. Ningen Isu is great because they play songs in Japanese. It was also over 30 years ago when I knew them first but unfortunately, I could not like their appearance and attitude at that moment.

We would love it if you come to play in France one day :) フランスで弾きに来てください

[@kaonao6073]

言葉が通じなくても、音楽で分かり合えるかもね。素敵なライブになりますように。

[@akl4130]

Congratulations from the USA. Ningen Isu are rock legends.

LEO今井と人間椅子という絵面の強さ

[@pf100andahalf]

Thanks to Ningen Isu and Leo Imai for doing this translated interview. I appreciate that Ningen Isu isn't going to change anything. The music is great enough to overcome any language barrier. And because of the music I want to learn the lyrics and what they're about. I love this band. Their songs and sound is true rock and roll as good as any American or British band. The whole world is now becoming aware of them, and the world needs them. It's exceedingly rare to discover such a great band these days. I wish them much success in the coming years. Thank you, Ningen Isu.

Wajima has the best guitar tone!! Pure rock tone!!

[@koiciable]

Of course bass guitar tone by him is also so G', the bassist is Suzuki & the guitarist is Wajima, just in case(^-^)

[@JCKnuckles]

koiciable thanks for that. Yes I made a mistake.

[@TjarpDex]

Come to Finland! Our roundabouts are quite simple and we love rock & metal music! I'd pay one month salary to see you guys play live!

[@pathaden]

Leo...THANK YOU!!!

[@kk-oe7bw]

いよいよ海外ツアーですね！テロに気をつけて頑張って下さい。 ドイツ屋台で売ってるカリーブルスト（カレー味のソースがかかった、細切れにしたソーセージ）はめちゃくちゃ美味しいので、ビールのお供にどうぞ♪

[@davidarbogast37]

I wouldn't care if this video wasnt in English as long as it had English subtitles. It's nice to hear people in their native tongue, you get a good feel of the language and how people express it that way.

[@VictorRochaGaming]

Thank you so much for this interview. It's nice to know they sense our happiness when we discover their awesome music. And don't change a thing. We love you just the way you are.

[@kekelaward]

Thanks Leo! Very nice. Hope to see more soon. Try to talk to them about coming to the US (especially Hawaii....we have a Blue Note here in Waikiki that might be nice for them).

[@Nrandonom134]

Man it sucks that they play near me when I am away. I would totally go to their show.

[@KLITA1]

Please please I hope this is just the beginning! We want you all in the US! I love you guys, your music and styles are so upbringing, refreshingly inspires me.

[@gabrielcabianca9686]

"Hard Rock Otaku" is going to be the 2020's equivalent to the "Grunge" 1990's! Go Ningen Isu!

[@magneticintrusion]

It is nice to get to know them a little. Thanks for helping the interview Leo. I hope they come to USA soon, so they can see their American fans too!!!

[@desmeerbuedel6466]

When i first listen to Ningen Isu, my Reaction was like "wooaah" When i heard that they will play in Berlin, my Reaction was like "hell yeeeeahhh". Guys i cant wait see you soon! Have good Journey!

[@Cynder44]

They are just too cute!

[@おはぎ-j7w]

何故か泣いてしまったw とてもハードなスケジュールだけどもお身体だけには気を付けて、これぞ日本のハードロックだと見せつけて来て下さい

[@AnUtterSimpleton]

Never heard of these guys til just recently, but they're awesome. Really happy they are accessible here, although it would be nice to have their music physically more available. I like how you can pick out the drummer just by his speaking volume lol

[@xsveron1287]

you guys are true legends , all the best for the next 30 years

[@ricdale7813]

Sadly here in North America we rarely even get a glimpse of World Class Overseas acts. Japan is overflowing with World Class Entertainment. Here is a prime example of Progressive Rock/Metal Excellence. Bad Ass in Any Language. Hope this is the tip of an iceberg of many World Wide shows.

[@shannon6569]

Would love to see these guys in Australia! Would also love to see this interview with English subtitles. My Japanese is very poor....

[@twoffo]

Look forward to seeing you in the UK and the US!

[@Funk5Punk]

We love NINGEN ISU! Please put on Spotify the name of your songs in English characters beside the Japanese you have now, in order to be easier for us in the rest of the word to know the name of the songs! Arigato!

I'd love you guys to come to Australia

[@ahorseinahospital]

[@gerardsandee1520]

Brilliant interview (and a couple a months later the pandamic strikes, and we do not get to see these heroes...). Still, great interview with a great band. It's a shame I do not understand (or read) Nipponese, but all your excitement tells all. Thank you.

[@SibylWhisp]

Just found this band while listening to a Japanese radio station and I was immediately in love with the sound.

[@Timbolus97]

So i find this band 4 days after their last tour date... Guess that's just my luck!

[@JudgeLazar]

Wow awesome, excited to learn more about you guys.
