International release of the 2003 classic debut album from Japanese noise punks Kokeshidoll! For the first time on vinyl to commemorate 20 years since their 2004 split. Includes their answer song to the fearless Michiro Endo, "Endo-san, I've forgotten what you look like!”. Features OBI, sleeve art by Jun Hayami and "Tuning Pond's Folly" written by Yumiko Hizumesawa on the insert.
Formed in 2000 with the aim of reviving the hardcore sound of 80s Japanese punk, Kokeshidoll delivered with their debut album ‘Kokeshism’ in 2003. Band leader Yumiko Hizumesawa (Guitar), Kyoki Mixer (Bass), Kimiyasu Akiyama (Drums - later of FORWARD) and vocalist Inundow released 2 albums (being joined by guitarist Kubo Nisesatsuhan for 2004’s major label release ‘Go Go Kokeshidoll’.) Known for their riotous drunken stage antics, frequently in states of undress and semi-incapacitated, Kokeshidoll split in 2004 shortly after a notorious performance with legends Hijokaidan which involved Kyoki vomiting on stage and Inundow throwing pig heads into the crowd. Limited copies available.
