REVIEW

Updated May 16, 2002

"GOUKAI Na GOJIRA (GODZILLA)" (G.R.F.0800), released in 2000, contains vocal versions of music from the first Godzilla film, as well as many of the native-chant pieces from "King Kong vs. Godzilla", "Varan", "Atragon", "Mothra", "Godzilla vs the Thing", etc. The vocals are sung by a male vocal chorus consisting of Takeo and about ten of his friends, without instruments - even Godzilla's footsteps and roar (Track 1). Sometimes the vocals have words, but more often they are just sounds, as if the voices are instruments themselves.

Bukimisha CDs are available to non-Japanese buyers through BOOTH (The International Indie Art Marketplace) by using a proxy service or other intermediary: https://bukimisya-maal.booth.pm/

Q: What is Bukimisha?
A (from Takeo Yahiro): It is a very difficult question to answer.
There are two answers in this, and one is long, and one is short.

The long answer is...
"Bukimisha the Weird Secret Society" is the ordinary gathering of the creator well versed in each field, such as music, an image, and molding. As you felt, all of us are SF fans. Since the members who belong to "Bukimisha" are working by their category, respectively, the goal changes with member individuals. And my goal is practicing my idea "music's being the lingua franca in the world."

The short answer is...
I am sorry that I can't teach to you about our ultimate philosophy. Because we are the "Secret Society".
