結成25周年記念ツアーの千秋楽、今年1月の渋谷公会堂公演が2形態のソフトに。ほぼ機材のみの簡素なセットを前に、〈おどろ〉なプレイ(と表情)でソロもブレイクもキメまくる3人の存在感たるや! なかでも、過去の彼らに縁のある〈ねずみ男〉〈ウンモ星人〉の扮装で登場したアンコールは、この日ならではのおもてなしだけに必見だ。硬派な演奏と対照的なユルさのMCも◎。

Outstandingly unique Japanese metal band Ningen Isu finished up its 25th anniversary tour in Tokyo at Shibuya Public Hall (Shibuya Kokaido) earlier in January and the notable show has been released in 2 formats, - in DVD and Blu-ray. Only with minimal gadget on stage, the 3piece-unit wonderfully handles both solos and breaks by the hallmark play (and facial expressions) that let them create such an amazingly strong presence! Watch out especially for the tour final’s special, the impressive encore in costumes 'Nezumi Otoko (meaning Rat Man/one of characters of Japanese manga GeGeGe no Kitaro)' and 'Ummo Seijin (meaning Alien from the Planet Ummo)' that relates to their past memorable works. Great to see the nice contrast, hardcore performance vs relaxing MC as well.
