NINGEN ISU Heartless Scat Reaction (人間椅子 / 無情のスキャット) 

3 old dudes. 30 years as a band. 22 albums. *THIS IS GOLD*

The legend!! They have been playing for more than 30 years and are still rocking. Sabbath is still alive...you didn’t know??

New Info: This band was formed in 1987. The lead singer is dressed as a literary master from Meiji era. The bass is dressed as a Buddhist monk with white face (white color in Asia is correlated to death or after life) and drummer is dressed as a Yakuza gangster.

英語分からないので何を言ってるか分からないけど絶賛してるであろうことは分かった。 海外の方の反応ははっきりしてるから観ていて凄く楽しい❤️

These guys are in their sixties and play like GODS

They went hard! My face hurt from smiling so hard the first time I heard this song.

That SG tone is so good

it's been said that once one reaches a particular level of mastery with one's hands, musical instruments are played mostly by facial expression. bass face. i saw this lyrically as a story played in three acts; the protagonist asks for the things most commonly hoped for- life, love, and success, and then unexpectedly achieves enlightenment when at the end, they wish those same things for everyone. i'm happy you enjoyed this as much as i did! cheers, mate =)

日本語で申し訳ありません。 確かに日本では、一方で子供がBABYMETALでメタルの壁を突張して、もう一方で老人がメタルの底を上げていますね。 これは偶然ではないのかも知れないですね。 面白いリアクションでした。 有難うございます。

Because we're in our 50's and 60's we're supposed to suddenly develop a taste for what kind of music after years of listening and playing Scorpions, Kiss, Megadeath, Iron Maiden, Foriegner and all the other metal greats? Naaaahhh, ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!! These guys are AWESOME!!!!!! Thanks for introducing them to me!!!!!!!!

This track is a musical masterpiece... & also the lyrics tickle my soul very hard! !!

Ningen Isu, the old guard of Japanese Metal :) just great! And hey, Japan has plenty of good stuff in between the 12-year old girls (that are now around 18 or something) and these guys over 50 ;) Just check out Band Maid, Gacharic Spin/Doll$boxx or Maximum the Hormone! All of them fall in between those 2 and all of them are great :)

Very intelligent and creative high skill level

Japan has a fantastic metal scene, these guys toured with Kinniku Shojo Tai a few years ago, another band out of Japan that is hardly known outside of the country. Cool song.

Try their song Life for Sale and Namahage. Guitarist and Bassplayer is Born 1965. The drummer I don't know. Cool fact: This is sort of prayer to have success. And what happened? This video got viral and they did their first tour outside Japan starting in the end of last year. Was going to USA but Corona got in their way! :-/

Love their Colour out of space, as I had not heard of them till recently too.

Brilliant song and great to see Lulu get a mention

my new favorite power trio these guys rock !!

Welcome to the world of Ningen Isu, I hope you enjoy your stay, and rock on.

They are as old as the guys in Metallica, a few years younger in fact, and have been playing for nearly as long. All the greats of the 70's 80's and even 90's are grandpa metal by now, yet many seem to get hung up on the age of these guys in particular for some reason.

FUCKING FINALLY I SEE SOMEONE REACT TO THIS!!!! These gentleman make some really great fucking tunes. Love seeing them get more exposure outside of Japan. (They are quite popular in Japan)

Great reaction, they're amazing right? :) They're 22 albums in, but only blew up worldwide a few years ago when youtube started spreading this video. They have a ton of great songs by now as you'd imagine. Maybe try Namahage (nah-mah-ha-geh) or The Colour out of Space next :)

We may getting old but we were around (i'm 58) when it all started! Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, UFO, Budgie, Mountain etc! Why should we suddenly stop loving and playing Heavy music? I will never forget hearing Sabbath's Vol 4 as a 10 year old in 1972.

Splinter, Fester, and Japanese Elvis... They are increadible

A Japanese Uncle Fester, a Japanese Elvis and a Japanese Buddha Monk walk into a bar...

lol great reaction thanks for the video :)

my fav so far is caterpillar, but im only 3 albums in :) kenchi (the big baldy monk) is my fav bassist. one of their vids has a 75 year old dancer and i love how they prove us oldies can rock hard af :) ps the name ningen isu means human chair

ありがとう！！

Love the flag, Greetings from Glasgow

THIS is what Rock USED to be! :) Shame we have to get our fix out of Japan :)

Aww, shame it wasn't The Colour Out of Space, but oh well. At least it's a Ningen Isu reaction. :D

Didn’t expect heavy metal, good, but surprised.

You should also check out their song Colour Out of Space. Also, it'd awesome to see you react to Dog Fashion Disco- War Party.

Grandpa Metal? My grand daughter introduced me to them in the early '90s. These youngsters still rock! Thanks for making me feel old while covering music that makes me feel young (in my 50's at least) again.

I didn't see it in the comments, so forgive me, but Ningen Isu means The Human Chair.

Ningen Isu [neeng n ees] {silent 'g,' muted 'u'). Not a "new" band -- been around for 30 years. They are new to the west however. They are awesome I love them.

Hey, I am glad you liked them. They have just done Europe tour right before this COVID crisis. And too bad all shows in Japan were cancelled. But let us look forward they will start touring again. If you have a chance to come to Japan, let me know. We all welcome you! Again thanks a million you liked them!! BTW, it is pronounced “Nin-gen-Isu” meaning human chair.

Good reaction and comment!

Dude that was fucking rad!

Check out these 2 songs from Ningen Isu (Take note: Live version with good sound quality is hard to find for this band.)

There are some excellent official recordings from this years EU tour live at The Underworld Camden.

New... Since the 80s

4:43 beautiful bass distorted

ありがとう❤ あんたのReaction大好きだよ。(　＾∀＾)ｹﾞﾗｹﾞﾗ

They've become one of my favourite bands, they're very talented. Check em out on Spotify and have a listen to their albums!

Just awesome!

Exactly my reaction when I first watched it.

Old? The guy rocks he will go down in history as the ranks of Back&Beatovin Shabbadadia ba ba ba ba.

Namahage and the Color Out of Space are also very popular tracks by Ningen Isu :)

They are old guys now but they started out young together. You definitely should watch them do the live version of Nama Hage. My favority part starting just after the 4m mark. Cheers

Japan is like uhhh last paradise on this planet.

These guys are an ass kicking machine!

I like how they are in to H.P. Lovecraft. Would like them to play with Voivod and come to GA. I'd be there.

Namahage is a great song to check out after this one. Also, the name is pronounce Nin(as in Nina without the A)gen(rhymes with hen) Eees(rhymes with geese) (you almost never pronounce U's when Japanese is written in roman characters If you want more evidence that Japan is producing some of the wildest rock music on the face of the planet, I would also strongly recommend the following MAXIMUM THE HORMONE - MAXIMUM THE HORMONE BAND-MAID - Don't You Tell ME (live)

Grandpa metal is what we're listening to over here these guys are in the 60s and 70s

Thanks PG!

new band? they prob play together longer than you are alive lol

The prononciation is : NIN like Ninja and GEN like game but with a N and you tstop on the N, and ISU like you said. It's mean Human Chair, referencing a Japanese book.

メッチャメタル。（　´∀｀）

Do "Life For Sale" by them next! "Odoru Isshunboushi" even..

NINGEN ISU! They're the trailblazers of Japanese Metal, their Black Sabbath/Led Zeppelin. They were knew by few outside and even inside Japan but are on the road for 30 years, many albums. Baterist is sick, Vocalist/guitarist shereds the heck out of the guitar. They're legendary! PS: Ken-ichi Suzuki is the best bass player I ever heard. He uses distortions, runs and slides no one does or expects. REACT TO NINGEN ISU "The Colour Out Of Space".

All three of them is 55 years old in 2021, born 1965 and 1966.

The band formed in 1987

How many seconds would it take to google them and find out they’ve been playing for over 30 years?!? Check out their earlier stuff.

They just a few years older then me, so Im a granddad too?

Apparently Ningen Isu did a song that is like "Catch Me If You Can' by Babymetal. In the Babymetal version they're hiding from an Ogre who is saying 'Are there any naughty kids?' But in the Ningen Isu version they're the ones saying that :)

They are around since the eighties and just got their world wide break, hahaha...

Btw, the Drummer is the oldest in the band, they're in their early 50's.

ありがとう！！ 「リンゴの泪」も是非聴いてください

The G in the band's name is hard, not soft. So that GEN should be pronounced like in "eigenvalue".

He'll yeah don't judge a book by its cover

人間椅子、niceだよ＼(^ω^)／

Didn't you know that nyn-ghen-iss was Band-maid's dads? Lol They look so old though.

Neen-gen ee-soo

I love them so fking much

they born in 1965 - 1966 :D

When you look older than three old Japanese men

Now check out what's going on in Norway with Wardruna Kvitravn. Not metal but loved by metal fans.

Fkn brill dude, they didnt come to fk spiders did they!?

Oh now do the Hu and Heilung (who do the soundtrack for hellblade 2)

日本の田舎津軽のサウンドだ！

I will give my like but i won't ruin the 666 likes!!!

Its always nice to see a reaction video when the guy/girl does not know what's coming! Thanks! :-D You could try Wakaggiband: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_uxpHq3inUA.html You're welcome ;-P

NEEN-GEN EE-SU

You should listen to Love Suicides at Shinagawa by the same band, too. For that one, they incorporated at least two shamisen melodies and it turned out amazing. (Unfortunately I don’t think there are English subtitles since it’s an older music video.) m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OLNmIk5yNG0.html

I belive you are ready for the Idol Metal group Broken By The Scream - 'Ai Hakamino Mono' - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DBKt5x-WxX8.html .. Yes, that is HER voice ..

'Not that old' is right.

You have to do Mingo Fiishtrap “Got mo betta”

何でしたら、着ぐるみのメタルバンドもありますよ～。 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GpKuagodq8g.html

わせいぶらっくさばすのじっりょくをしれい!

HEARTLESS SCAT (NINGEN ISU Band) 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 Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa 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 Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Shabadabadia Shabadabadia Babababa Countless stars are twinkling in the sky Every one of us is under them With a thousand wishes in each heart Lululu Lululu 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 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
