[True punk] Handicapped band, Noseimahi-go breaks barrier with flying wheel chair
It’s not joke, it’s True punk
If you heard the name of this band, you think its bad taste.
This name of Band is Nouseimahi go (Cerebral palsy goes).
But you soon understand your misunderstanding if you know the member of this band is real cerebral palsy.
It’s not joke name. it’s truely punk name.
He is cerebral palsy, so he cannot move his arm, he cannot move his leg. he is difficult to speak.
How cerebral palsy can do music band?
Before that, let me say his story.
Not everybody help him
He is cerebral palsy since birth. It means he had got help from his using home staff every day.
One day he goes outside alone as a school practice.
When he buys train ticket, some people helped him, but some people ignored him.
at that time, he understands he had got help from his family and nursing home staff. But some day I must stand on his own feet.
from them he decline help as possible as he can and try to stand on his own feet.
The People who make barrier is handicapped people?
recently barrier free facilities are increasing.
it means wheel chair can go anywhere.
But lots of wheel chair people still don’t go outside.
at that time, he thinks the people who make the barrier between them and non-handicapped people are handicapped people. and he needs to show how he breaks the barrier by doing something.
And that something is doing punk band. He made punk band with his nursing house staff.
He writes the lyrics with his message. and he provokes other handicapped people. “Shake your head with his punk.”
Welfare reciever should behave properly?
He shows his punk spirit by his live performance and by drinking with nursing staff and band members.
Some people criticize his activity. It’s not good life style as a handicapped people who receive social welfare service…
But he believes the person who decides how to use social welfare service are not you but he.
He tries to break such criticism by his song, his punk spirit.
But sadly it seems to be difficult to continue his punk live because social barriers are still big and strong.
Please send your support message to him or spread his challenges to break Japanese social barrier for all handicapped people!
At live performance, he scream, get wild. but he need helper staff to do so because he is handicapped.
When he have no help, he cannot even stand by himself. just lay down on the floor
He cannot do anything even if he is stomped on
So he ask to help to move behave badly.
He tell his message through his helper because he is difficult speak.
He say his audiance, you are stupid! but this message is told through his helper.
and helper get angry to bad manner for audience. Helper choke him with mike code.
But nobody get angry to his insult word. on the contrary audience get wild with his each word.
Everybody get energy from his word, his act and his performance.
He say he can fly! but how? nobody believe his word.
But he actually fly with his wheel chair
He has True punk spirit!

This is absolutely brilliant! Shizuo Hirayama is a true hero who proves once again that art and punk rock have no boundaries. He now joins a league of legendary artists like The Boredoms (who are STILL together), Yayoi Kusama, vagina artist Megumi Igarashi, aka “Rokudenashiko”, and Chim↑Pom amongst others. All are involved with breaking down boundaries that society sets up in order to maintain the status quo and ignorant silence of various issues that are quite significant in all parts of the world. Indeed, this type of public blindness is not only seen in Japan, such barriers and unwritten rules against the handicap, disabled and other minorities exist in the US, Europe and all over. I truly hope that we can see and hear more of Hirayama’s band “Nouseimahi go” soon.
Hi, Rob,
Yes, this guy is really brave man!
But in spite of his his effort, Japanese people not seem to pay attention so much, and he seem to quit his punk performance.
But as you see, audience are really enjoy his performance and got excited with him. audience is punk too.
punk have no border!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, if possible, it would be a really great move if Shizuo Hirayama and his band “Nouseimahi go” could start a youtube channel or a facebook page. Without a doubt, there are many people who would love to hear much more from them. At first it may be somewhat slow, but with more youtube videos and facebook page blogs, in time the people will come. And there will be many. Very many from all over the world. YOROSHIKU ONEGAISHIMASU!
Yes, it is very interesting what he say, what he think and his performance. Live performance need lots of help, but internet dont need so much help. I wish he open his accout in the internet. i ask them to do something!!
