About Ningen Isu
Ningen Isu (which translates to "The Human Chair") is a Japanese three-piece hard rock band. In 1987, the band was formed by Shinji Wajima (Guitar & Vocals) and Kenichi Suzuki (Bass & Vocals), who were classmates in the same high school in the northern area of Japan.
In 1989, they made their first appearance on the popular TV show Heisei Meibutsu TV Ikasu Band Tengoku. They attracted everybody’s attention for their weird hard rock music and Suzuki’s attire of a popular manga character, Nezumi Otoko (Rat-man) from GeGeGe no Kitaro.
In 1990, they did their major debut with their first album Ningen Shikkaku (No Longer Human). In 2013 and 2015 respectively, they participated in the Ozzfest Japan, a rock festival organized by Ozzy Osbourne.
In 2019, their 30th anniversary year, they released their 21st album Shin Seinenn (New Youth). Now sales of the album have reached the highest-ever level in the band’s career. So far, the band has released 21 full length albums and 7 singles.
