渡る世間は、みな何かに化けている。
時に労働者として、時に表現者として、時に消費者として。
それは奥行きの無いキャラクターの様にみえる。
明治時代、井上円了は日本を西欧化する過程で妖怪を非論理的な現象とみなし、論駁し、撲滅していった。
しかし、戦争が終わってからも、妖怪はキャラクターとして姿を変え、今なお消費され、生存している。
皆何かに化け、化かされていないと生きてはいけないのか。
この世界は化けるものを優先している。
現代の妖怪は私が撲滅する。

bakeru
Mizuirazu
Taking themes of Yokai, Incels, cities, and characters, and incorporating elements of Indonesian Kecak and Japanese folk songs, this is an extremely strange work that is old and brand new, yet avant-garde and pop.
Artist Profile
Mizuirazu
Formed in 2016, Mizuirazu is a four-piece indie rock band based in Tokyo. Their music is rooted in conceptual approaches such as composing from ideas and philosophies, reinterpretations of Asian folk traditions, and a standalone complex ethos, resulting in a sound that is both experimental and deeply personal. The band released their debut full-length album Almost Empty in December 2020, followed by su-mu (2021), bakeru (2022), and uturu (2023). Through these works, they have developed a distinctive approach that integrates Asian rhythms and scales into a band centered sound, drawing increasing attention from across Japan's alternative scene. In February 2025, Mizuirazu expanded their creative scope by composing runway music for the 2025-26 Fall/Winter collection of fashion brand amok. On August 8, they released a 12 inch single uturu / bakeru, featuring remixes by Ben Nobuto and Cwondo. Later that month, on August 29, the band will release their long awaited second full length album Throw Away the Water, Go Back to Intimacy, their first in five years.
