死ぬのは嫌だ、恐い。戦争反対! – Snakeman Show – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Snakeman Show’s “死ぬのは嫌だ、恐い。戦争反対!” (I Don’t Want to Die, I’m Scared. No More War!) is a landmark in Japanese pop and counterculture. Originally released in 1981, this album is a bold mosaic of spoken word, biting social commentary, and infectious, genre-blurring pop. The group, closely associated with Yellow Magic Orchestra, delivers a collage of experimental tracks and skits that oscillate between playful absurdism and razor-sharp critique of war and conformity. The production is inventive, weaving together synth-pop, radio drama, and surreal audio cut-ups—a testament to Japan’s early ’80s creative explosion. The record’s artistic daring and satirical edge make it a cult favorite, both as a time capsule of anti-establishment sentiment and as a unique listening experience that rewards repeated spins. For collectors and adventurous listeners, this album stands as an essential document of Japanese pop’s subversive undercurrents, inviting you to question, laugh, and marvel at its audacious spirit.
