I'm no scholar on Japan, but I know this: strange, over-the-top things happen there, culturally speaking. I mean, hentai? C'mon now! Also, the hand-painted toy market. It's almost as superficial as fashion, only less useful in one's day-to-day life. Hey, at least those damned Ugg boots hypothetically keep one warm-- what do these do aside from look good on your shelf?

But I digress. I also don't know anything much about Japanese thrash and hardcore aside from names like Disclose, Death Side, and G.I.S.M. I can only assume from the little bit of Death Side footage I've seen that they and other such Japanese thrash were influences on Organism, a speed-of-light hardcore quartet who also hail from the land of the Rising Sun. They have no US distribution and, on a whim, I bought one of maybe 12 copies of their Hope... album that Tony Pence brought back to Celebrated Summer Records after a trip to Japan. 8 songs in just under 17 minutes. Need I say more? THRASH LIFE! NO DEATH!
