These guys have more than 20 albums in their catalog and have never toured outside Japan. They will be touring Europe for the first time starting in February. I think they consider themselves as a doom metal group. They have just released a new album to celebrate their 30 year career. They even have videos reacting to their own MV's. They seem like guys with a sense of humor.
Y T, Yes they are also considered to be progressive as well. riffipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Ningen-Isu I just like there is a sub genre called doom metal. Sounds intimidating.
@@ramair3judge it is an old metal genre inspired by early Sabbath songs. However Ningen Isu don't really cover that territory as a lot of their songs are about old pop literature (the Shinjuku Suicides) and Meiji era/Shinto/Zen themes (the Great Destroyer of the Universe). This song is actually about asking the various dieties of Japanese history to bless them in their career. The entire verse done (ironically) in the dark is about asking the gods to shine on them.
@@SantomPh But that is absolutly Doom Metal. ;) Doom Metal today is hugly mistaken as being slow and whatnot but actually is more about personal emotions and lamenting on the world. "Saint Vitus" songs "White Stallions" or "War is our Destiny" are good examples for what Doom Metal is really about. Also Candlemass. And most Doon bands are somehow Rock bands. Ningen Isu easily fits in the genre but no need to push them in. :)
This group was my introduction to Japanese rock (thanks to my grand daughter) about 30 years ago. Now, my great grand daughter has to put up with 'pa-pa rock' from this group when she comes to visit. Pay attention. These youngsters are Band Maid's grandpas musically, and they along with their grand kids are changing the music world.
Your first huh. These guys have been rocking for 30 years Referred to as the Japanese Black Sabbath. These guys are priceless Old school awesomeness The guitar player and Kanami from Band Maid just posted a video of them having a guitar off .its great stuff Favorite part: the gong haha I have a big ass gong on my kit too He uses it in quite a lot of there songs
After 30 years, it's about time these guys got recognition! Their TV appearance in 1989 was amazing. The bass player, Suzuki Kenichi, has some amazing facial expressions and I love his voice. He writes the music and the guitar player, Wajima Shinji, writes the lyrics (for most of their song anyway). Wajima is a great guitarist and he has some videos on RUclips showing how to play. The drummer, Nakajima Nobu, is their third and has been with them since 2004. I loved their first album from 1989 and they have gotten better since then. Maybe the most amazing part about them is that they have persevered for all those years.
This song works me over. It's heavy to the point of being haunted. These guys obviously have some life experience, so you'd think that they should have it figured out, but in the lyrics they are asking to every god they can think of for just a brief reprieve from lifetime of failure and disappointment. During the bridge, they talk about how everyone has hopes and dreams... The fact that they are still alive suggests that even hardship is worth enduring, and the fact that none of the gods have answered suggested that we as humans must be the source of mercy. We have to care for each other and provide for each other. Your reaction was excellent. Subscribing, and hoping that you'll introduce me to more amazing music.
Imagine if your high school math teacher, Uncle Fester and the guy who taught Miyagi-san everything he knew about Karate got together and decided to record one of the heaviest riffs ever.
@@radamus210 you're kinda right! he's wearing the dress of a Buddhist death cult which I thiiink is related to Kabuki, a japanese theater art where you _become_ the character.
Considering how long this band has been around (after researching them) and the fact I am not only a metalhead but a lover of nearly everything Japanese, I have no clue how I never heard of this band. This is one of the reasons I enjoy Reaction channels so much, getting turned onto new music. This band kicks major ass.
Thanks for this review, they've been around for about 30 years (they're all in their 50's now). Due to YT, they've become popular again, their latest album is charting in the top 5 in Japan now along wiht Babymetal and Band-Maid. Thanks to YT reactors. You would classify them as metal.
I was pleasantly surprised to see this song pop up on your channel. Discovered it myself about a month ago and immediately loved it! Now I have about 10 of their songs on my playlist! Keep it up man! You rock!
Dude, the RUclips algorithm led me to these guys earlier this year and I've been bingeing hard on their back catalog ever since. As an old school fan of Japanese rock/metal groups like X Japan, Loudness and SexMachineGuns, I have no idea how I missed this band. They are effing tight and their riffs just melt my face off \m/. You're right about Japan - they've been KILLING it with so many awesome bands. Check out Lovebites. Those chicks rock hard!!!
This is my hopes of our future. A Spanish guy, watching the reaction of a black man listening to three Japanese guys rocking out some amazing metal....
When I first heard this song I was like, wow, that's like a Japanese version of Black Sabbath. This is cool! Turned out they were inspired by them too, and I like this band a lot :)
LOL,LOL Love the reaction. I lost my shit when I first heard them too lol. These guys have been around for 30 years and have a huge library of music. Scat is not what you think it is a term used when artist like Ella Fiitzgerald Louie Amrstrong used to do when they sang like shooby dooby bop bop that was called scating that's what the part when he goes shaba daba dia bop bop that's the scat part. once again big thank you for the reaction as always keep it real and keep on rockn
I assume that it has a double meaning to "Scat" part, though. "Shaba(娑婆)" means the present world in Japanese. Also this song is about marcy from Buddha, God, or angels...but I don't know. I think that is kinda neat.
Aldious, BAND-MAID, DOLL$BOXX, you about to enter a new world of Japanese metal that has been killing it the last decade. These guys are like Metallica and Black Sabbath had a baby and raised it in Japan.
And then You have Lovebites, Marys Blood, Jupiter, Galneryus, Wagikki Band is interesting.. and a climber Asterism.... And the you have the concept Ironbunny...Lots of awesome Japanese bands to react to.. and yes of course the party band Gacharin Spin. on thimg.. PV stands for promotion vids, MV Musicvids
Hi thank you for picking JPN band! Your pronunciation on the band name is good. I totally agree they are kick ass. Almost cried with yr great reaction around 5:30 solo. Keep it up!
Great pic! These guys have been around for a long time! Reminds me of a Japanese Black Sabbath sometimes. Great, heavy riffs. Really impressive band no-one knows👍
I just discovered this band one day earlier than you :) Today, one day later, I bought one of their albums already. I'm totally pumped at how awesome these guys are and it seems they have been for the last 30 years!!
@@TheAdventuresofTNT unfortunately Amazon doesn't have the latest album as MP3... :( but damn it, pretty much ANYthing I've listened to by these guys so far has been AWESOME! I kinda felt like you did for the first bit (this was the first video I saw as well) like..."hmm, a group of 3 50something year olds... do they ACTUALLY look like that or is that some sort of costume video concept?" and then "HOLY MOLY! Those dudes are F...ing Amazing!!"
@@TheAdventuresofTNT oh btw: the "Scat" in the title refers to the style of singing in the chorus (or post-chorus?) part where he goes "shabadabadiu" and so on. It's mainly used in styles like Jazz for example. Or for a more mainstream example, do you remember the pop-song "Scatman" by Scatman John?
They are amazing aren't they. I love the Great King of Terror by them. Have you listened to any MAXIMUM THE HORMONE? If not you should definitely check them out. I'd recommend starting with their song Yoshu Fukushu :)
There is on RUclips a great battle between this guy and Kanami. It is all done tongue in cheek and presented as some sort of Rock 'em Sock 'em robots duking it out. Kanami won the first skirmish and this guy the second battle with the deciding battle upcoming.
This my first time seeing you, but gotta agree w you my dude, I feel the same way about this song - favorite part gotta be the solos, especially the first one but the outro soloing is great too. This vid was on my recs for like two months, with "scat" in the name and Japan having some strange tastes, I didn't know which scat to expect. So fucking glad it was scat as in jazz vocs, and damn I wish I'd given Ningen Isu a spin sooner. Got a sub from me 💯
OK, I first saw these guys like a week ago, I am still watching their songs on here!!! I have a great thought!!!!! How bad ass would it be if Metallica had these guys open for them?
I had your same thought when I heard 'scat'... I'm a major metal head, but then I heard it and a) for old guys, this fucking rocks and b) the song is about (from my understanding of the translations) humanity's smallness in the presence of God (hence the "bababa" part which is our inability to find words in the presence of God) .. see the songs notes for your own interpretation but.. . anyway.. I was totally and pleasantly caught off guard with this song..
Excellent reaction! I bet you're sorry you waited so long to check them out. Everyone calls them old, but they are actually about a year younger than Metallica.
The Japanese don't pigeon hole themselves into a single type of music, it's all a Mish mash of a ton of different things.... that's why I love living and working here in Shibuya, working in the entertainment industry...it's a very creative country.
These guys rock, another amazing Japanese band Sigh is my favorite black metal band of all time and one of the OGs of the scene. You should listen to In Devil's Arms by them, or anything, they're my favorite black metal band and their lead singer plays every instrument known to man I suspect, and they have a saxophone player, in a black metal band. Let that sink in.
Should've turned on the captions, they have the English lyrics (properly translated, not just auto-translated. They were added recently). And the lyrics are good, they should be appreciated. Also, just to let you know, "scat" refers to scat singing, which is when you sing nonsense vocals as part of the music ("shabadabadia" in this case)
Favorite part starts at 540 5:37 love that groove. All of them separate and it is ominous. So cool. Reminds me of some Ozzie Blizzard of Oz album for some reason - that guitar riff in the background.
Man, you are missing out on so much good stuff from Japan! Aldious (The veterans of the bunch, formed in 2008. Can play anything from pop-rock to full-on thrash metal!) Fate Gear (Formed by Destrose founding member Mina) Lovebites (Formed by ex-Destrose members Rosana Miho & drummer Haruna. Featuring one of the most insane guitar duos in Miyako & Midori!) Nemophila (Super group formed by ex-Lipstick vocalist Mayu, ex-Mary's Blood guitarist Saki, ex-Disqualia guitarist Hazuki, ex-Soramimi drummer Tamu and ex-Holderlings bassist Haraguchi-san. Performed their first international show last Friday at the Whiskey A GoGo.) Hagane (Formed in 2019 featuring two of the youngest gunslingers around, Sakura & Mayto.) Bridear (Another veteran group, formed in 2011. Already toured Europe 5 times and another tour scheduled for fall 2022) Hanabie (I'm not gonna say anything about this group other than DROP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING AND GO CHECK THEM OUT RIGHT NOW!) D_Drive (Instrumental hard rock/heavy metal. Everyone in this band is a virtuoso.) Asterism (Read "D_Drive".) Ark Royal (Young band formed 4 years ago. Picking up fans by the minute!) Unlucky Morpheus (Another veteran group. Should be headlining european festivals a long time ago!) Galneryus (Power metal freaks! Think Dragonforce but better.) Gone but not forgotten (no longer active): Destrose Mary's Blood Telecide The Classics (all of these bands were formed in the 80's and are still kicking ass!): X-Japan Show-ya Loudness Anthem Sabbat ...and that is just the start!
All done tongue in cheek. Kanami won the first round and lost the second round setting up the deciding face-off. What l see in this parody is that a great guitar player who has been in the same band for 30 years is tied with a young lady who has been in her band less than seven and she is already on the same level as one who might have been her teacher. Think about that for a second. In the faux battle both seem to be enjoying themselves and l would say if they weren't friends they certainly were friendly with each other.
Japan has been making killer metal as long as I can remember... (which is really only Loudness and EZO), but IMO, what I've had the honor of hearing is on par with bands from most other countries. Check out Sigh (Doom/Death), Gonin-Ish(Progressive/Death), Asterism(Thrash/Shred by 3 teenagers)....so many great bands... Peace! Cheers!!!
Heartless scat - NINGEN ISU BAND If you, Holy Angels, do exist in this universe Will you bless me on the cheeks?

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.
If you really wanna dive dip on Japanese metal, try Anthem - Evil One/Bound to Break/Eternal Warrior. Really like how the alternate from JP and ENG lyrics in their songs while also a beast band live.
If you like oriental stuff you should react to Seikima II with the singer Demon Kogure . It s old school heavy metal with a great mix of Maiden,Judas priest and bands like that .
Yeah, Japan has some of the best artists in music and film but because Japanese artists are very focused on the Jpanese market you barely hear anything about them IF you don't have a Japan-affinity. Damn, Ningen ISu are more then 2 decades in the business and just NOW they reach the western market. Bloody hell, looking forward to see them life in Berlin 19.02.20. You should check on Chu Ishikawa - Megatron -> ruclips.net/video/4z10AlFDQfY/видео.html
Hi it steve in uk again hope u ok merry xmas as u no im subscribed.see u still not reacted to it tho i no u busy mate .can you please please react to bruce dickinson featuring tribuzy tears of the dragon live at sao paulo .it has to be that version .it amazing and omg what a voice hope to hear you react to it soon thank you mate

Very true
Yes the Japanese artists ARE killing it right now! It's like a time machine back to 70s and 80s rock. Sweetness.

Favorite part: the gong haha
I have a big ass gong on my kit too
He uses it in quite a lot of there songs
You are correct I don't care what the hell they were saying that rocked
Wait til you see the lyrics (subtitled). Makes it even better.
Basicly he is complaining about his life to 3 different religions
When your grandpa rocks out harder than you...... ;o)

You can never be to old for good metal.
Too old for the mosh pit? Someday, yes.

I get the feeling that Japanese guitarists are physically incapable of not playing crazy solos.

Rebirth of 70's hard rock with 80's thrash flourishes

solos & melodies reminds me Iron Maiden, but riffs pure Black Sabbath !! awesome band
Love a great three piece band that plays Metal.
Welcome to the fan club! I just got here in September. And I’m totally immersed!
Yea, I’ve been trying learn as much as I can about these guys
GREAT REACTION 👍👍👍
THIS BAND IS FUCKING DYNAMITE !!!
"He looks creepy as hell!" Kinda the point. He's a death monk. Pure white has the same funerary connotations in Japan as jet black has in the West.
You had the same reaction to them that I did. I accidentally discovered them a few days ago. Definitely unusual but totally awesome.
Damn these guys kick some serious ass.
seybadaba deya!! seybadaba deya!! seybadaba deya!! BABABA BABAH!!
Scat is a jazz term. Look it up!
And featuring Uncle Fester on the bass. Lol 🤣
Hahahahahahaha... I was thinking the same thing! HA!!!!
Most Bad ass Uncle Fester i've ever seen

zeiko biz has a 2 round guitar battle between this guy and Band-Maids lead guitarist on YT.
All done tongue in cheek. Kanami won the first round and lost the second round setting up the deciding face-off. What l see in this parody is that a great guitar player who has been in the same band for 30 years is tied with a young lady who has been in her band less than seven and she is already on the same level as one who might have been her teacher. Think about that for a second. In the faux battle both seem to be enjoying themselves and l would say if they weren't friends they certainly were friendly with each other.
Japan has been making killer metal as long as I can remember... (which is really only Loudness and EZO), but IMO, what I've had the honor of hearing is on par with bands from most other countries. Check out Sigh (Doom/Death), Gonin-Ish(Progressive/Death), Asterism(Thrash/Shred by 3 teenagers)....so many great bands... Peace! Cheers!!!
If you like this give a listen to some of their song "Ghost Train."
ありがとう❤
あんたの動画楽しいね(♡˙³˙)
'life for sale' is another good one by them!They have eng sub in the video if you need.Do it!!
BabyMetal - Rondo of Nightmare.
Legend called forth a Samurai from his retirement and along with an undead Monk and a Greaser, bade them "Make Music"; they did, and it was good.
Nice👍人間椅子✨✨✨
The lyrics...wow
Yup, you said it correctly. ;p
ボブ・サップが人間椅子にリアクション？！とサムネで思った日本人何人いるだろうｗ
right on.....old dudes who rock !!
By the way when I asked you if you could listen to “The instinct” it’s just an instrumental and it’s a game soundtrack from killer instinct
Dude, I've heard that track more times than I can count. It stays on repeat while im in the gym. I fuckn love that track. It's so beastly!
The Adventures of TNT it’s never gonna get old to me
I think these guys are GREAT! I put on the cc so i can see what they're saying other then that, ROCK ON!

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

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

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

They're good
If you really wanna dive dip on Japanese metal, try Anthem - Evil One/Bound to Break/Eternal Warrior. Really like how the alternate from JP and ENG lyrics in their songs while also a beast band live.
Heavensdust is pretty good
Listen Life For Sale!!!!
Love those guys
Yeah exactly how i felt , so glad you understand haha. Fuck yes.
The lyrics are super deep too!
If you like oriental stuff you should react to Seikima II with the singer Demon Kogure . It s old school heavy metal with a great mix of Maiden,Judas priest and bands like that .
These old guys are freakin bad a$$!
I love it Japan heard Rock from America and said hold my sake 🍶🤣
saw you at 19.9k subs, im not a fan of odd numbers so congrats on your 20k :)
Thank you!!!!!
Yup I had the same reaction 😂😂
Yeah, Japan has some of the best artists in music and film but because Japanese artists are very focused on the Jpanese market you barely hear anything about them IF you don't have a Japan-affinity. Damn, Ningen ISu are more then 2 decades in the business and just NOW they reach the western market. Bloody hell, looking forward to see them life in Berlin 19.02.20.
