Shizuka - Persona In Heaven
From jrawk.com:
Of all the Tokyo underground psych bands of the 90s, Shizuka is simultaneously one of the most connected and, paradoxically, overlooked. Shizuka herself is a Tokyo based doll maker (this will become important later,) and here she’s backed by Fushitsusha’s Jun Kosugi, Miura Maki of Fushitsusha and Les Rallizes Dénudés, and a mysterious bloke who goes by the name of Seven (who may or may not be the former Dr. Acid Seven of the late 60s/early 70s Tokyo underground…research has been inconclusive on that front, although the company Shizuka keeps makes it a definite possibility.)
