 Ichi the Killer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ichi the Killer (2001) (also Koroshiya Ichi or 殺し屋1) is a highly controversial film directed by Takashi Miike and adapted from a manga by Hideo Yamamoto.
Director Takashi Miike reveals on the US TokyoShock DVD release that the semen used in the close-up during the intro sequence, when the film's title raises out of a puddle of semen, is real.
Director Takashi Miike originally intended to have the author of the original manga, Hideo Yamamoto, to write a script entirely in manga form, but the idea fell through when Yamamoto felt he could not complete it due to writer's block.

 Yamamoto Seiichi - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
Yamamoto Seiichi has been an active part of the underground Osaka music scene since the late '80s, not only as a musician, but running the music club Bears and heading his own label as well.
In addition to founding Omoide Hatoba, he has performed with ROVO and the Boredoms for many years (on the noisy end of the spectrum), as well as with more pop-oriented groups like Shonen Knife and the Playmates.
Constantly involved in a myriad of projects, Seiichi has also been releasing solo albums since the mid-'90s.

 1-0 Reviews Boredoms
This is seemingly Yamamoto's side-project, though it has garnered near the praise of his original band.
Yamamoto has played with all the greats, even performing with cool/bop saxophonist Lee Konitz.
Yamamoto manages to tighten up song structure, yet somehow bring an air of naivete and amateur enthusiasm to the mix.

 Splendid E-zine reviews: Rovo
As the Boredoms' fire-breathing guitarist, Seiichi has helped the group to whip up a fierce sonic maelstrom (both live and on record), a devoted fan following and plenty of critical acclaim.
The epic "Kmara" finds Seiichi wrenching unholy sounds from his guitar, while Yuji creates a hypnotic drone with her bow, intertwining with a flirty flute melody as a clutch of drummers hammers away in a vicious percussive uprising.
Fans of Seiichi’s older work might at first be taken aback by Imago's altogether different feel, but subsequent listens reveal its demonically subtle charm.

 TrouserPress.com :: Boredoms
Guitarist Yamamoto, whose thrust- and-parry figures rarely last more than a bar or two, nevertheless demonstrates a prescient improv style, especially when he and drummer P-We YY (aka Yoshimi P-Wee) dive headlong into their Three Stooges slap-shtick.
Omoide Hatoba provides a vehicle for guitarist Yamamoto to mobilize his own set of noise-guitar forces.
Yamamoto expands the band's lineup for Kinsei, and the elusive bleats of baritone sax and tuba give the whole suite (titular translations are not provided) an inscrutable, provocative air.

Fernando Kabusacki, Yuji Katsui and Seiichi Yamamoto To Perf
He is a key player in the underground music scene around the Kansai area, well known for his many sessions with John Zorn, and his activities in the enormous number (more than 10 including Omoide-Hatoba and Rashinban) of bands he organizes.
Katsui and Yamamoto are the founders of the band ROVO, a dramatic and spiritual dance music with a genre-straddling, wide-range groove which includes techno, house, dub, Krautrock, psychedelia, jazz, Latin, progressive rock, improvisation and ethnic music.

 Ground and Sky review - Rovo - Sai
Previous to this band, Yuji played with Bondage Fruit; guitarist Seiichi Yamamoto is one of the principals of Boredoms; drummer Yoshigaki Yasuhiro has played with most of the big names in prog and the avant-garde; bassist Jin Harada played avant punk-prog with Bazooka Joe and is the guitarist for Koenjihyakkei.
This slight diversion lasts better than three minutes (all four of the tracks here are over 10 minutes long) before the band kicks in with a relatively straight, if rapid Krautrock groove ­ drummers fighting in synch all the while.
Of course, Yamamoto seems to be playing with the velvet touch these days, a far cry from his Stooges-come-Melvins skronk of the early part of the last decade.

Eye, Yamamoto and Masonna raced for the microphone and the first one to reach it grabbed it and screamed.
Yamamoto describes the sound as "scum dub"; Yoshimi calls it "fashion punk." Apparently the purpose of the band is to play on other peoples' recordings uncredited.
All that Yamamoto will say is that they do appear on a Boredoms CD, but won't say which one.

 Waiting Out The Plague
Saw Jad Fair Friday night at Bears, the livehouse in Osaka owned by Yamamoto Seiichi.
The Ultra Fuckers opened up with their usual oddness, and their set ended with the lead singer doing a backflip off a ladder, a maneuver I found out later cost him one broken collarbone.
Teem played next, an improv unit with Yamamoto, China (the drummer for Shonen Knife), Nana (who is just Nana -- I can't quite explain how brilliant this guy is, so you'll have to take my word for it), and Canadian Jeff Bell on juice harp and mumbles.

From the spiritual madness of the Boredoms, the psychedelic trance rock of Rovo to the quirky intensity of his own Omoide Hatoba, Yamamoto's tastes and talents are as eclectic as the bands he's played with.
"From organizing concerts at his club Bears to performing in the cult bands Omoide Hatoba, Rovo and Boredoms, Yamamoto has been a central figure of the internationally acclaimed Osaka rock/noise scene since the late 8o's.
For his second Tzadik CD, one of Japan's most original and creative guitarists presents his first ever solo recording, an exciting and wide ranging program jumping from prepared electric to lyrical acoustic.

Listen with headphones for full effect -- there are a lot of sounds here, and you won't want to miss a single one.
Guitarist Seiichi Yamamoto (Boredoms), violinist Yuji Katsui (Demi Semi Quaver, Bondage Fruit), and synthesizer/effects technician Tatsuki Masuko (Dub Squad) started Rovo in Tokyo in 1996.
Originally the group was sort of a space-rock group, before gradually developing their unique style of "man-driven trance," as it has sometimes been called.

 The Squid's Ear
Those early records of screaming energy would not have been what they were without the able playing of guitarist Seiichi Yamamoto.
The Boredoms aren't about showcase, but Yamamoto was the glue that held the manic early discs together.
Later, as the band found form, Yamamoto found side projects that were more about musicianship: the fun but forgettable Omoide Hatoba, then the great trance grooves of Rovo.
