Kingdom Of Noise - Japanese Noise Selection

(1993, 98 minutes, VHS) released by Endorphine Factory

I think this video “Kingdom of Noise” is a perfect example of [a] successful catalogue of [the] Japanese noise scene. Japanese noise players are getting more popular all over the world, being introduced by various kinds of media or the live appearances abroad. Taking this into consideration, I’d like to recommend this video catalogue of Japanese noise for foreign people. […] This videotape is full of quite straight visual images. No professional technical support to make it nice looking. The visual effects are all by the artists themselves. It is one of the best features of this videotape that many of the content were “live”. This is the evidence of the reality of the contents. Here we can find Japanese noise as it is. Feel noise by your own eyes, ears and souls. This video will present you several answers about Japanese noise, visual image is the same as sound image, much more than expected, very disappointing, very unexpecting, or…” - Jojo Hiroshige (Hijokaidan)
