There are more important things than money or status.

When you reach a certain point in your life, Ningen Isu finds you. They cannot be found otherwise. These gentlemen went to such prestigious colleges that had a very good chance of getting jobs at prestigious employers. But then, they picked to play music instead. Probably because of their intelligence, they realized that happiness was much more valuable in the long run than working for some "prestigious" a-hole and living a life of stress and misery as a result. 1780s japanese buddist monk, 1880s Meiji period scholar, 1980s yakuza in one video. This band sings about wanting a light shone on them yet they are the lightsource.They're not afraid to use silence as part of their music. I think the philosophical meanings of the song are prone to listener confabulation hence interpretations will differentiate from person to person, an unavoidable liability. I love Ningen Isu!

Life for Sale

[colonela]

Does our life weigh
Less than a feather?
Or more than a mountain?
Is the light of life
Darker than night?
Or brighter than fire?
I want to hear you sing in the angelic voice
As a parting gift for a fool like me
What are we born for, what do we die for?
What do we love for, what do we fight for?

How could I have missed Ningen Isu all these years?!!!

This is the best, most real "metal" band I've heard in the last ten or so years. They are so fucking good...

Тишина, как элемент музыкальной композиции, это интересный ход. Необычный. Люблю слушать затихающий звон колокольчика и миг тишины, в самом конце, прекрасен.

Это открытие для меня.
Ощущение, что я в восторге!
Спасибо!♥
