The lyrics are quite touching on a few levels, actually; the narrator for the first two thirds is only considering himself, but upon thinking about how many people have wishes "under the millions of stars" - he changes his tone and asks for all creatures to find happiness, not just him. All three members are rather learned people - their educational background is shocking. The guitarist / singer sometimes even writes lyrics in medieval-Japanese style on purpose so that it sounds slightly "alien" to the native modern Japanese speakers. Glad this was the song that "made them big" (relatively) in the Western world, as it's a great sample of both their lyric-writing and songwriting. Thanks for doing these guys - Japanese metal continues to surprise and amaze me - and y'all's honest reactions are awesome.

They are dressed as three Japanese caricatures: death monk, professor, yakuza. They are my age (58). I love the back and forth of the movements in this song. The final solo is sooo good.

Én már sok éve szeretem őket. :)

Great band - formed in 1987, with a great back catalog. 🤘

Ningen Isu f’ing rock! Been listening to them for a while-I wish I’d heard of them earlier.

Also it's fun to note that Ningen Isu means "human chair". It comes from a very dark short story written by Edogawa Rampo in the 1920s. And famous Japanese horror comic author Junji Ito has also adapted it.

The never ending bag of Great Bands in Japan. It never stops. Whether its Metal,Rock,Pop,Jazz,etc.... Japan has many artists that will enchant you. I'm pissed we in the West weren't really aware of this long lineage of Bad Ass music until recently. Japan has artists going back years and years that Easily contend with their Western counterparts.

人間椅子は日本のメタルバンドの宝

ありがとうございました。ファンとして感謝します。そして、また人間椅子を紹介して頂ければ嬉しい！

"he's not saying anything" That's what "Scat" means, in the context of music. The shabadabadia kind of nonsense words and vocalizations is the Scat part in the song's name, usually most often found in old Jazz songs.

They are known to be the Black Sabbath of Japan.

You guys have to react to a group call Asterism… a three piece Japanese metal band with an incredible talent that I think you guys would enjoy very much… I would like to recommend a song called “Gunfire” Live in Studio

Thanks for the video, I hope to see you react more to this band, they have tons of albums and have kept true to their style pretty much the whole way. The other guys sing too, my next recommendation would be "Namahage" and "AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS". Scat is a jazz technique, using your voice like a drum fill, hence all those Shabadaba lyrics, and the 'Scat' in the song title.

For anyone who wants some popular intro to scat singing, look up "Scatman John" He had a hit a with "Scatman's World" in the 90s (yes, before many here were even born ;-))

The bassist also sings some songs, like "Neputa go home" which is a good song, with a (cartoonishly) gory animation, based on a mythical story/festival. It's only a little over 3 minutes.

Japanese people are very smart and talented

the clothes are from a 1780s japanese buddist monk, 1880s Meiji period scholar, 1980s yakuza an 80s band in three different timelines, literally

Their new song goodbye to the world is 🔥🔥🔥

I love the fact that dude on the bottom left was neutral for the most part but even he was moved by the end. Great react video!

Good video! I've watched several reactions to this song. Just about every time, someone says something like, "Look at how old these guys are!" It cracks me up. Has any checked the ages of the pioneers of metal - many of whom are still playing? Metal isn't the creation of the younger generation. It is a gift that has been passed down by an older generation. Thanks again for the video. I have subscribed!!!

Do "Colour Out Of Space" next.

I love the music, but that cinematography is gorgeous.

Hi from France: NINGEN ISU started in 1988 and during the 90s they played rock metal influenced by King Crimson, much more than by Black Sabbat or other similar Anglo-Saxon bands. Besides, their covers of this band ("In the cost of Crimson King" or "Lark's tongue in Aspic" live) at that time were among the best played by other bands than KC...

👺👹👺 Ningen Isu!

Japan#s SABBATH ... LOVE😁🤩

Great band!

I'm a fan of Ningen Isu (人間椅子). You pronounced the band name pretty good, actually 😊 As a Japan native living in the US, I really appreciate you apologizing for possibly butchering their name and soliciting comments so you can pronounce correctly❤️ Thank you. As their fan, it's delightful seeing you guys jammin and lovin the band! They got known in the early 90s (late 80s?) and this Budgie cover ↓ with their original lyrics (about Hari no Yama -- the needle mountain of the Hell) was a hit. I believe they play this piece live regularly. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X36kpJKtndLZoto.htmlsi=Fe9URhAwagPSeV6I (There are other live youtubes. The song was studio recorded so can listen on their albums and streaming.) Wajima, the guitarist, is a SG-only guy and one of his SGs (which is no longer playable so kept in a case) was a gift from Tony Iommi 😉

Nice reaction. Thank you. More Ningenisu！

Соло гитариста напомнили мне Джимми Хендрикса.

This band is great. But since you guys seem to love some growling vocals, it's time to try some Maximum the Hormone. These guys cover the whole range of extreme vocals. I'm not a big fan of death core screens so it took me a while to get into them and now I can't get enough of them. "Shimi' is probably one of their tamer songs that Nemophila has recently done a cover. 'Zetsubo Billy' is another cover. These guys have no formula. Every song is different in every way possible like a roller coaster ride but always fun, Highly recommend you to give them a listen. Probably both the Nemophila cover and the Maximun the Hormone originals. You won't be disappointed.

@Roger Chance TBH, since most of their songs are titled in Japanese, they are not easy to find. They style may be death core but they really defy genres. It may take even the hardest core listeners to give into them initially but once they catch on, they are hard to shake loose. I'm not hardcore by any means but they got my attention every time now.

Thanks! 😉

Ken-ichi Ken-ichi Ken-ichi! "Ningen Isu" = "Human Chair"

I like how as soon as it starts, in synchronization all 4 dudes have a pleased reaction and i believe 3 of them leaned forward as if to really pay attention after hearing this because they know its about to fuck.

Love this grandpa metal

huh, i’m surprise you guys never heard of these guys.

Vocalist or lead guitar post as samurai,bass player post as evil monk and drummer post as yakuza boss

It seems that the video is played at a faster rate. It's supposed to be slightly slower.

You got the call right on the Black Sabbath connection. Their main influence has been cited as being Tony Iommi/Black Sabbath. Shinji Wajima plays Gibson SG, the same as Iommi, and in fact he even has a hand autographed Tony iommi SG. I don't know why anyone would not pay attention to lyrics as the lower left guy stated. That's like saying I don't read the words in comic books.

so old? they are under 60 yet,,, they are young compared to most 80s bands

🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽

The Shaba daba deeum is scat. lol

These guys are pretty good. Recommendations until your next Lovebites reaction. 😀 Still Remains - White walls live 2005 Power Trip - Executioner's Tax (Swing of the Axe) OMV Metal Church - Needle and Suture 🤘

🖖🖖🖖🖖

we need an interpretator

For a moment you'll almost forget that weed is super illegal there.

A little late but you were reasonably close on the name. Neen (rhymes with spleen) gen (hard g) ee (that "i" in Japanese is always a long i, hence "neen") soo ("u" in Japanese is always long, too. think of how you say the name Suzuki (soo-zoo-kee) Neen-gen ee-soo

The bassist from this band is actually Bo's (KamiBand/Babymetal bassist) dad.
