Holy Hungry Devil Reincarnated

A new development! after further sleuthing into the nature of Seikimat-II, i was curious about whether the name had more meaning to it, or, double meaning. i mean, Toshi always says the name like it's one word (seikimatsu), but there is a very obvious roman numeral, hyphenated on the pneumonic spelling, which led me to believe that it must mean more. Toshi had told me that the name (or word, or phrase) "seikimatsu" usually means "the end of the century", but he had also mentioned the incarnation of devils from the underworld, which had made me oh so curious . . .

so i asked him, and here's what i have learned about japanese characters. the characters of the name:
really mean, in, Holy Hungry Devil "the second" or "reincarnate". so, the meaning of the visual name is that the band are reincarnated devils from the underworld, who have retuned to our sphere to eat the souls of the holy. pretty awesome, right? and, if you say it phonetically - seikimatsu - you are also saying "the end of the century"

so, this band was formed from an otherworldy sphere, sent here to rock you. much like Kiss, or Tenacious-D. also interesting is that, according to Toshi, this band was much more interesting in its inception than later in years, as, in the early years they used to do things such as drinking tomato juice out of the severed head of a pig, wich they used to bring on stage. oh, such antics! however, that was in the 80's, which we all know were just the years of endless party and crack coacaine. apparently, in the 90's the band relized that they needed to sell some records, so they toned down the live show a bit, and started doing some songs and shows all in english. thats considerate of them, right?

well, i now have seikimat-II songs on my iPod (no thanks to the iTunes store), but thanks to Toshi, who reasures me that his tribute band definately drank the "pigs blood" on stage.

SEIKIMAT-II!!!!
