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 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.
@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😊
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!
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.
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.
CZcams music suggestions based on my playlist of JP rock and metal brought me here got the DMC vibes loved it did hyperfixation research and well one new favorite band
@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.
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.

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.

thank you! For some reason some kids keep screaming that they stole image from KISS? lol
@@Treychik the funny thing about that is that KISS stole from Parliament Funkadelic wholesale.
