Whats Nicovideo?

[MonkeysWithFirearms]

It's like Youtube, but Japanese. It has some pretty cool stuff on it.

Go Katsu! Hahah

Also by the way, not that I don't have my guess already but just out of curiousity, where did you get those from? This 1991 live videos I mean.

[MonkeysWithFirearms]

Ah, I just get them from Nicovideo and upload them here. I wish I did own the performance though. That would be pretty awesome.

[Forveya]

Akiyama is awesome... always swingin around by his keyboard.

[CouchingMaster]

Akiyama is cool. Does anyone know what he's doing nowadays?

Also, compare this to live footage from the early 80s, where Akiyama is pretty stonefaced and Susumu is all wide eyed and expressive!

[350125warsaw]

Love that "My Sharona" bit at the beginning and at 1:26. I never made the connection before!

[MangoCakesPro]

Oh, Akiyama.

@CouchingMaster In 1999 he started a solo project called After the rain. He released two albums and I think it's still active. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any of that material.

Saw a comment on another video from this era saying they look bored playing the old stuff but I have to say, Akiyama seems to be having a good time.

[humanplastics]

he's in a band called here is eden. REALLY GOOD alternative with jazzy elements.. idk if he's still performing with them...but you can follow his blog...

blogs(dot)yahoo(dot)co(dot)jp(­slash)voxmarksix...he's going to be 51 soon...

i tried to get an acount there but failed. do you have to have a japanese e-mail or something?

[keiyoru11]

Oh, Niconico.

Most of those there are recorded on tape or CD from TV. We used to have lots of P-MODEL on TV some years back, and A LOT lots during the Part 2 era. And today too, sometimes you can catch a PV or interview on some channels.
