"First ever DVD release on PSF. Eighteen tracks of screaming philosopher-poet Kazuki Tomokawa, recorded at the Apia folk club in Tokyo. Tomokawa has been playing at Apia for over thirty years, and his shows there are legendary for their honesty and human-mystery. This DVD compiles the highlights from four recent gigs, including stunning new tracks used in recent films by cult directors Takashi Miike (
Audition
,
Ichi the Killer
,
Visitor Q
) and Koji Wakamatsu (
Violated Angels
,
Sex Jack
,
Endless Waltz
). Tomokawa's impassioned acid folk stands as one of the greatest shining black stars in the post-war Japanese underground firmament. Whether suffused with bittersweet joy and lyrical insight, or rank with bitterness and self-directed bile, Tomokawa animates each and every song with an incomparable sense of life that has to be heard to be believed. A truly beautiful thing." -- Alan Cummings. Color, 4:3, NTSC Regions 1 & 2 [for the US, Japan and a bunch of other places like Greenland].
