* SEIKIMA II, the group lasted over 17 years. It was a brand new kind of band with a hitherto unknown lyrical and musical style. They were also well known for their flashy stage personals and on-stage antics. His Excellency was especially respected for his insightful on-stage social commentary as well as his quick satiric wit. HE often used black humor in his stage shows and television/radio appearances, which has garnered him respect in the world of comedy as well. |
