Kazuki Tomokawa
Tenji Nozoki (born February 16, 1950), best known by the stage name Kazuki Tomokawa, is a prolific Japanese musician, active in the Japanese music scene since the early seventies. He is often described as a "screaming philosopher" due to his idiosyncratic singing style. His music has been used in the films of cult directors Takashi Miike and Koji Wakamatsu, and he also appears in person in Miike's Izo (2004).
Japanese poet Satoru Nozoki is his brother.

1976 - Nikusei (Human Voice / A Natural Voice)
Kazuki Tomokawa - Nikusei ['76 Japan Avant-Folk]
second album by avant/acid folk singer Kazuki Tomokawa, one of my favourite japanese folk singers next to Kan Mikami
the title Nikusei means Human Voice and what an emotional voice this guy has! sometimes you wonder where he gets all that air from Kazuki Tomokawa is a prolific Japanese avantgarde-folk singer, poet, and often described as a "screaming philosopher" due to his idiosyncratic singing style. His music has been used in the films of cult directors Takashi Miike and Koji Wakamatsu, and he also appears in person in Miike's Izo (2004).
from popsike:
Tomokawa Kazuki: Nukusei (Harvest YC-8006 1976) (Record: Mint/ Jacket: Mint) Comes with 4-paged booklet. This was Tomokawas second record he released. Great copy of this early Tomokawa record. He is undoubtedly the unequaled master of possessed song-spirit. Here the young Tomokawa wails and screams emotionally hard enough in order to strip the paint of the walls. Nevertheless at times he gets quite emotional and laid back in order to hush his haunting demons to sleep. Just a splendid piece of Japanese acid folk and chant exorcism. Tomokawas music is violent, emotionally charged with insane screaming modes, piercing sensitivity, cathartic rhythmic purge, thrashing acoustic guitar aesthetic and harsh, reflecting the atmosphere of the bleak northern prefecture of Aomori. Hardly turns up these days. Stunningly great psychedelic-acid-avant-outsider folk music. For fans of Mikami Kan, Jandek, acid folk, Iuchi Kengo, J.A.Seazer, psych heads all around and adventurous music geeks. Highly recommended original pressing in top condition. Very rare early (2nd) Tomokawa disc. Hardly, if never, resurfaces. Act smooth and swift. This record will certainly enhance your sorry ass existence.
