Great choice, thank you for your reaction! The guitarist and the bassist are nearly 60 y. old and they played doom metal together for about 40 y., so their catalogue is huge. They never could make a living out of their music and were more or less unknown outside Japan, being qualified as "Japan's best kept music secret". It needed the recent fräuleinwunder in Jap. rock and metal which caused the YT algorithm to expose them to the world. At the age of about 55 they toured abroad for the first time, namely to Germany and England.
Besides "At The Mountains Of Madness" already mentioned by others I propose two lesser known songs:
-- The MV of "雪女" (The Snow Women; edalow 1999; czcams.com/video/a43QD7QVyYc/video.html); the visuals are taken from a very impressive old b/w movie (1967) with the same name. Movie and song (04:47) are based on a fairy tale: A princess descended from the moon, but could not return. She has the magical power to punish bad people by sending snow storms against them.
-- "Odoru Issunboushi" (The Dancing Dwarf; Live in Tokyo 2014; 08:45; czcams.com/video/fQbIWTVd7qY/video.html ). The crippled dwarf has to dance in front of the visitors of a circus and everybody laughs about him (based on a short story).
In the first two minutes the lyrics tell the story. But then the song turns into so called "program music" = an instrumental in which the instruments tell the story. In the beginning everybody laughs about the crippled dwarf. He fells in love with an acrobat, but she too disdains him. In despair he gets insane, kills her and burns down the circus. At the end it's he who laughs seeing all those who haunted him dead. The last laughter being heard in the circus is his own, when the flames kill him. This explains the drummer's pantomime and the prominent role of diabolic laughter.
Thank you for all this great info!
@@RockCandy-ix3nn -- My pleasure, you are welcome.
To all who want to learn a bit more about NI, I recommend "The Tears Of The Apple" written by Suzuki (bass) already in high school and published on their first disc in 1990. Not the live version, but the fan-made MV by Yatamir. The music is the same, but the MV in addition has an English translation, an interpretation / explanation of the song's meaning, a presentation of their home region and more bonus stuff - czcams.com/video/uVb4E6b8n0s/video.html . Peasants in the cold and poor region have to sell their daughters as maidens or prostitutes so that the family can survive the long and cold winter.
I recommend

By this band
Seconded!
I recommend the 23 albums...
They got a groove going, huh? Fun times! Thx, RC!
Yeah, these guys are awesome and after all these years sooo comfortable with their instruments! As singing is my only involvement in making music, I find power trios very interesting to listen to as they are often doing things that I find hard to quantify that really help to fill out their sound, and these guys do that very well! I look forward to you covering more of their catalog!
They are a great band, no doubt. As others have mentioned, At the Mountains of Madness is a great performance to react to, and is also one of their HP Lovecraft inspired songs. Many of their songs draw some inspiration from literature, mostly Japanese, so diving into their discography can be a bit educational as well.
Another band you may want to consider would be Onmyo-za, who are inspired by Judas Priest and Iron Maiden among others, and have 16 albums to their credit. If you do choose to react to them, "Haou" is not a bad starting point. Interestingly enough, Matatabi from Onmyo-za credited Ningen Isu as a band that helped give them the confidence to sing in Japanese.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 gotta love these dudes they have been hard rocking longer then most of the popular bands of today have been alive please do "at the Mountains of Madness " live version next it is on the official channel
Great choice. I second that.
Great suggestion. I believe, though, the epic performance of At the Mountains of Madness is not on their official channel, but on the coffee mt channel
