Unfortunately, Takashi Mizutani passed away sometime in 2019, and we only just got the news today. The phone call from Makoto Kubota to Mr. Mizutani mentioned here, said to be from 2020, was actually from 2019, very close to the time of his death. The reason it is just now coming out is that since Mr. Mizutani does not often contact people it seemed normal that no word was heard for several years and those close to him assumed he was still alive. May he rest in peace, and be remembered for his incredible musical talent and pioneering of many musical genres. R.I.P. Takashi Mizutani 1948 - 2019

After Moriaki left, the story of how Mizutani recruited his new bassist is great. Allegedly he asked the bassist he wanted to meet to go to a cafe so that they could "talk". The bassist was already in a band and wasnt sure he'd join LRD. Mizutani pulled up to the cafe in a van, opened the door and demanded he get in.

After the hijacking, Mizutani was extremely paranoid that the American CIA was after him. I believe he went as far as to make sure he never appeared on the street during daylight for a number of years after the incident. He was never "found" because I don't think the CIA were ever looking for him, but it goes some way to explaining his clandestine behaviour.

@@michealpersicko9531 Bro, he was in close contact with a terrorist, almost a world famous one at the time. Police usually looks into terrorists' friends, that's just usual business. Of course CIA wasn't looking for him, but the Japanese police definitely had a file made for him, and that is normal. The rest is just paranoia probably, but there were confirmed cases of Japanese police surveilling people who were close with (for example) Japanese Red Army Faction. Again, that is how it is in every country. Your comment is pointless, because no one is "throwing groups" into this, literally only two options exist - CIA and Japanese police. CIA argument isn't baseless too, by the way. CIA was working with the Japanese on the Yodogo incident, and had deep roots in Japan, since US was controlling the country until barely 20 years before Yodogo and were on look out for every revolutionary/protest/extremist group that was there acting at that time.

got ina. car crash to one of their songs. thought the squealing wheels were the song itself

This band was actually one of the biggest reasons I picked up bass guitar again after years. The simple yet captivating bass lines in “Enter The Mirror” and “Otherwise Fallin Love With” were easy enough to figure out by ear in 10 minutes and that was enough to get me started on other songs. This band will always have a special place in my heart because of that.

I hope more people will listen to Les Rallizes Dénudés because of this video. They're a truly amazing band.

Longtime fan of this band. Glad they’re getting more recognition thanks to videos like this! According my late friend and bandmate Yuzo Iwata, who shared a rehearsal space with Mizutani in the 80’s as a member of Maher Shalal Hash Baz, the actual reason why they never released any proper studio albums was simply that Mizutani was somewhat insecure about the sound of his voice. He hated the way his vocals sounded on higher fidelity recordings. Hence, the bootlegs. Another interesting detail he shared is that a lot of the younger art rockers in Japan at the time regarded them as kind of corny, because they associated them with the 60’s. Most of the younger people in the scene dismissed them along the typical “punks vs hippies” lines.

Part of me hopes we never hear from Mizutani again. It would be very 'on brand' for them and it would be very fitting. Just never knowing why he hid away, if he lived a good life or not, if he just rode off into the sunset never looking back. No indication that they ever existed bar the few articles and the bootlegs. It would be very poetic in a sense.

For those that don't know them already, you should definitely check out Flower Travellin' Band as well (a clip of their Satori II video is used at 9:53). As best as I understand it, they were another band who played a large part in introducing noise-rock, heavy metal, and psychedelic rock sounds to Japan. Granted their music is quite different from this band's - and probably a lot more 'accessible', as they were heavily influenced by the classic rock sounds of the US in the late 60s/early 70s - but they were also a part of the counterculture movement. A good place to start would be their Anywhere album, where they covered classics like 21st Century Schizoid Man, House of the Rising Sun, etc... And their rendition of Louisiana Blues is out of this world.

Your videos have been a delicious and informative find. I applaud your efforts and encourage you to continue your digging and discoveries as well. The 2020 world reset has provided a unique opportunity for me to spend time exploring new sounds, bands, projects and fantastic events that have remained hidden away until now. There have been profound bands and events that have carved out changes on the world stage that are worthy of being shared. For those who truly appreciate art, music and the creative souls opening the minds of those who dare to listen, I encourage them to spend some time with your many videos and I am confident they will learn a Great deal and find some inspiration as well.

I thought the communist Chinese saw rock’n’roll as an instrument of American imperialism, they’d actively suppress any counterculture movement and rock’n’roll.

It was just confirmed that Mizutani died in 2019. RIP.

is that lucky guy...

this was unbelievably interesting

this is amazing man. this is an amazing channel

Omg please make more content what a great idea for a channel! Love this

The one time I saw Smash Mouth... it was literally at a country fair haha Great doc on Les Rallizes Dénudés!

I learned about this band from reading about the Narita Airport riots.

The fact you had to bleep out words like high and pills, definitely shows the direction KZread has gone and it’s very sad. Other then that, great documentary. I didn’t realize I was already subscribed to this channel and have missed many great short docs. Great channel my man.

Please keep making these vids they are so gooddddd

If you’re reading this, please don’t ever call Rallizes Denudes a “doom psych band”.

Good to know, I thought doom psych sounded cool though

japanese bands are amazing. ahead of its time

man i love your channel please post more often

Thank you, this was great!

You know it’s a good video when you feel like you’ve been watching for an hour but only 3 minutes have gone by.!

how can a video with a title as over the top as that have so few views? Also, Rallizes is beautiful pls listen to them

i would kill for a live les rallizes denudes concert

These are so good. Thanks.
