Song of the Revolution

The Fourth Nagomu Total Uprising Assembly (第四回 ナゴム総決起集会), held at the Toshima Public Hall in 14 May 1987, was an event by independent label Nagomu Records intended to "escape from the hive of catalog concerts" through a special one-of-a-kind lineup. The Mortal World's Paradise Kameari Eternal One Pattern Band (此岸のパラダイス亀有永遠のワンパターンバンド)—billed as "Kera + ?" (ケラ＋？) —was to play that day, but their set was cancelled as vocalist and Nagomu president Keralino Sandorovich had a sudden bout of chickenpox. Acts that performed include:


 * I-Joe (愛情), a unit led by TackQ of Zin-Säy! (later on Takkyu Ishino of Denki Groove);
 * Kinniku Shojo Tai (筋肉少女帯), then in its 15th lineup, the same that recorded the then just released Legend of Takagi Boo (高木ブー伝説) mini-album: vocalist Kenji Ohtsuki, bassist Yuichiro Uchida, drummer Minosuke, keyboardist Edozo "Eddy" Mishiba and guitarist Shoichi Tomomori;
 * Uchida's solo unit;
 * Mishin (ミシン): guitarist-vocalist Kida, keyboardist Zien, bassist Mouri and drummer Konno;
 * Mokugyo (木魚): vocalist Tsunewo, guitarist Kaishu, bassist Nyanko and drummer Shintaro.

"Song of the Revolution" was the main event of the day. The main vocalists were the concert's audience; Kera was originally meant to conduct them, but in his absence the song's writer TackQ took over proceedings. Nagomu announced that the event would be recorded and included in a mini-album to be released that July, but it was instead included in the various artists compilation album Festival: Nagomu Omnibus III (おまつり　ナゴムオムニバスⅢ) released the following year. Credited to "Nagomu Gals & Boys with Nagomu All-Stars" (観客 WITH ナゴムオールスターズ), the track is a combination of takes by the audience and band members, mixed by Susumu Hirasawa.
