[@Arielmetalrocker]

AMOR A PRIMERA VISTA!!!!! LA PRIMERA CANCIÓN Y VÍDEO QUE ESCUCHE DE SEIKIMA II. AMO A ESTA BANDA POR SIEMPRE SEIKIMA II !!!!

[@sneezingsparrowhk]

BigTimeChanges is my most favourite Seikimatsu album, and Ace Shimizu is my most favourite guitarist of them as well. The last song called Angel Smile in this album, Ace Shimizu is on vocal without Demon, is so beautiful.- - - Their Japanese Lyrics sense is so great,"mouchou tsurushite kusokurae" can't be really translated into English without losing the original sense & smell, I suppose. And, thanks so much for uploading this!

[@snesfan8935]

The hell with Kiss, Seikima II RULES.

[@赤尾敏-i6i]

この曲のギターソロ好き

[@Dkogure]

Many of these over the top effects were fairly prominent with a lot of bands during this period. But Seikima-II didn't exactly "rip off" anyone else as much as create their own over the top image much of which is influenced by the Japanese Kabuki theatrical style. Anything else you see in an early video like this is merely a product of the 80's.

[@Treychik]

thank you! For some reason some kids keep screaming that they stole image from KISS? lol

[@princesstamika]

@@Treychik the funny thing about that is that KISS stole from Parliament Funkadelic wholesale.

[@sdjslkdjlsskldjslkdjsl8262]

@@Treychik The problem is, this doesn't look like kabuki. I've seen kabuki and this is not all that similar lol. Seikima-II's image looks like KISS's interpretation of kabuki. (The star designs, the stylized dual line "whiskers," etc). Come on man. They're a good band but you're in denial if you think Kiss wasn't a visual influence.

[@PhoenixM252]

​@sdjslkdjlsskldjslkdjsl8262 bruh, that does have that kabuki visual looks coming from me that did research into japan history for years. Just because they look and sound like KISS doesn't mean its a rippoff. Next you'll tell me X Japan is a KISS rip-off. So Yeah, take the L before the fans come after you with pitch forks. Good day😊

[@joeylalonde3458]

​@@PhoenixM252 the denial is real

[@robotface74]

"let it rollin" is the best line in any song i have ever heard.

DAMN ! SEIKIMA ROCKS ! ive seen this for the first time 2 days a go n i just love it

I want the lead singer's hair, I don't care what anyone says. It's either that or a yankii pompadour.

Ace as lead guitarist is rlly cool

[@DesperateAngel]

OMG, I just cant't get enough of that song... Thank you so much for putting it out!! ^^

[@xjapan2509]

エースソロカッコいいですよね

[@Dkogure]

Seikima-II pronouced "Saykeemas" or "Seikimatsu" in Japanese basically translates to "The End of The Century". This is the bands theme and part of what they call the "prophecy" which they are destined to disband in 1999 ending their earth conquest.

[@Dkogure]

I agree, I am a KISS fan myself and I have also seen similarities between the two. The inspiration from kabuki i reffered to mainly relates to their makeup since KISS also very obviously were inspired by that style themselves. It is also a fact that Demon himself has stated in an interview with Kyoji Yamamoto, that " he was never very much into KISS" so it is also possible that the concept behind their personas could have been due to Damian Hamada's inspiration from such bands as KISS.

[@phre3k187]

around and around and around the world!

[@PowerAlejandroLegion]

I fucking love that solo

[@Anamatonamaton]

It was amazing seeing them live.

[@Margatroid]

I've watched this a million times, but I just noticed today that Ace has his guitar pedal strapped to the front of his armor. Sick!

[@Wenautia]

this band is awesome.. now i can say i got a favorite japanese band. W00T

[@Dkogure]

@gurubhai01 It is an Ace Shimizu signature Aria Pro II which uses the same design as an earlier Charvel model.

[@8Apashi8]

@milkjamjuice yes they played at a con and it was the best concert ever! There weren't too many people there but enough to fill up the ballroom in the hotel it was held at. But since it was their first real American concert it's hard to find a bigger place even if it was for a band as big as they are.

[@isabelareis1407]

[@Dkogure]

Yes, they disbanded on December 12th, 1999 at 23:59:59. Their last concert was called THE BLACK MASS FINAL 3 NIGHTS or The Ultimate Black Mass. Since then the band had a short limited time reunion including original guitarist Jail O'hashi. Two different lives were held in late December of 2005 for their 20th anniversary. After this the band has remained inactive but all members currently have active and successful solo careers.

[@desdepinto]

Thank you so much!!! It is not easy to get info about them unless you understand japanese. Greetings from Madrid!!!

[@kisame21]

This clip is totally FUCKING AWESOME!!! i feel like building a CULT around it!! i am , of course, also totally insane! ITS BIG TIME!!!!!!!

Gintama brought me here

+sumo fred wahahaha... wagahai da UNO de aru.

[@Dkogure]

Seikima-II are one of Japan's legendary heavy metal bands. Because they are a Japanese band, their style and image is most likely derived from Japanese kabuki style theatre. KISS most likely also took inspiration from this style as well, thus possibly contributing to their immense popularity in Japan. Many comparisons have been made, but Seikima-II alone are a very unique band.

[@desdepinto]

Seikima II is light years away better than Kiss.

[@kazekaz69]

KISS came first than Seikima-II but Seikima-II is much better in all angles though

[@sdjslkdjlsskldjslkdjsl8262]

But Seikima-II's image is full of things you see in KISS's image and not in kabuki. (The star designs, etc.) So the idea kabuki alone is what influenced their image is incredibly unlikely

[@chanokim]

In terms of visual style, Seikima is a knock-off of KISS. They blatantly copied KISS. Kiss debuted 1973 and Seikima debuted 1982.

[@Runnersfree]

i got curious of this band because of saki from nemophila..very cool man, sounds like motley crue

[@samcro6268]

I just saw them on tik tok. At first I thought it was EZO. Very similar Both are awesome

[@burntvirtue]

@Dkogure Looking back on my previous comment, I guess I found Seikima-II a little hard to process, and take seriously. The current truth is that I LOVE this band, and this is probably my favorite song of theirs.

[@blaynegreiner9365]

A little funny that an older you couldn't take these guys seriously but could KISS. At least you matured lol

[@withlovefalseortrue9839]

💜💜💜

[@lejogador]

come here because YuYu hakusho episode 49, lol '-'

[@rayen1178]

same lmao

[@burntvirtue]

Oh Come on!? E-Z-O had a checkerboard floor in the "Flashback Heart Attack" vid, and they also had a song called "Big Changes". They basically looked exactly like these guys too, only better.

[@theskullkid72]

"ITS BIG TIME"

[@desdepinto]

(Queda poco tiempo) Déjalo rodar y rodar ... por todo el mundo Déjalo rodar y rodar ... por todo el mundo ¡Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaohhhhhh! La tierra está herida y huele a podrida ¡Hay que hacer cambios! La tierra está herida, teme por su vida ¡No te sorprendas! Ve que pasa el tiempo y le hacemos mas daño ¡Nos pide cambios! Si esto sigue así, le quedan cien años ¡Tal vez lo entiendas! Venid a luchar (Oh, dulces guerreros) No hay nada que perder (¡Que tiempos, aquellos) Con todo el corazón (Oh, dulces fronteras) Oh si! ... ¡Estallan cabezas! ¡Oíd la explosión! Vuestros dirigentes son unos farsantes ¡Hora de rupturas! Destrozan la Tierra ... ¡Dejadla como antes! ¡Sacad la basura! Salvad vuestras vidas, salvad el planeta ¡Basta de guerras! el tiempo se acaba y se aleja la meta ¡Salvad la Tierra! Vivir con honor (Oh, queridos emperadores) Crecer con amor (Oh, querido Cristo) Ojos que no ven (Oh, queridos presidentes) ¡Oh, si! ... ¡ !Mejor es cerrarlos, por vuestro bien! Déjalo rodar y rodar por todo el mundo Déjalo rodar y rodar por todo el mundo ... ¡Volved, Godzillas! ¡Esta en juego la vida! ¡Ganemos la partida!

[@desdepinto]

Mas que una traducción, es una adaptación. La letra original gira en torno al concepto de la podredumbre y lo repite una y otra vez en la parte de la letra en japonés, con un verso final en cada estrofa de contenido mucho mas duro que el que he puesto yo. Seguiré corrigiéndolo. Se admiten sugerencias. Gracias.

[@unclenoidentity186]

Japanese KISS!!

[@Nitoryu]

I gotta admit, this song is so fuckin awesome. Thats all I have to say.

[@Xenonas]

Is there an official DVD containing this and their other PVs? This would kill on surround audio. LET IT ROLLIN'!!! \m/

[@Bravilor]

This might be the oldest KZbin upload I've seen. I can't remember ever seeing 2006, only 2007 and forward.

[@FelipeBCS]

Eu também, hahahahahahahhaha. Nem sabia que existia essa banda! Boa dica do Anime! LOL

[@motel213]

WAGAHAI!!

[@leandrotorres3921]

Anybody knows if that tank at the end of the video was part of a live show, or just a footage made for this PV??

[@Margatroid]

I'm sure it was part of their show. Such elaborate theatrics were very common with metal bands at the time.

[@milkjamjuice]

@WebbGnome0 They played an ANIME CONVENTION?! Were there a lot of people there? It's kind of weird for such a huge band...

[@Dkogure]

@HawkBasham Whether some of the members were influenced by KISS is a possibility, but speaking for Demon Kogure, the vocalist, he once mentioned in an interview that he was never a fan of KISS in general. Musically, their influences were most likely European heavy metal and hard rock bands. Certain confirmed ones would be the likes of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and Deep Purple for example. The NWOBHM scene was mostly likely another strong influence.

[@desdepinto]

In my opinion, as far as related to rock music, they pick from everywhere up (as Deep Purple did), but the big difference is that they have created (maybe it is Demon work) a whole universe and a story that let them show incredible shows/performances that the rock audience has never seen before. Every other rock group, now, seems to be boring, compared to them, and their musical skills are on top too. Probably, the best rock band ever.

[@desdepinto]

For instance, this song reminds me of Queen's "We will rock you".

[@CrabMusicCrabMusic]

2:30 LOL WTF???????!!!!!!!!!!! awesome lazer/lightning bolts from the mouth seems super effective against salarymen
