解体工事の現場ではない。1985年に都立家政スーパーロフトで行われた、山塚アイのノイズ・ユニット 「ハナタラシ」 によるライブの模様である。過激なパフォーマンスによって観客に危害が及ぶ可能性があったため、入場者は事前に誓約書への署名を求められた。この日、山塚は点火した火炎瓶をステージに投げ込もうとして、ライブは中止となる。会場の修理費用は約60万円に及んだ。 数年間に亘る激烈なライブの末にハナタラシは多くの会場で出演を拒否されたが、山塚がステージ上での破壊行為を行わないことに同意したことにより、1990年代に入ってようやくライブ・パフォーマンスの再開が認められた。
Hanatarish - Cock Aktion VHS
Hanatarish was a first wave Japanese experimental/noise band and first musical project of Boredoms founder Yamatsuka Eye.
Cock Aktion is a document of their explosive and very dangerous for the audience live show. Definetly worth a watch.

In 1985, Hanatarash frontman Yamantaka Eye drove what was reported to be a bulldozer (actually an excavator) into a Tokyo venue, destroying it and cementing the band’s reputation as the most dangerous force in the Japanese noise scene. A set of photographs by Gin Satoh remain the only visual documentation of the event, capturing the moments and aftermath of one of the most infamous performances ever staged by a noise band. Formed by Eye, Hanatarash operated at the extreme edge of Japan’s underground noise movement. Their performances pushed the idea of noise music into something closer to physical spectacle. The band quickly gained notoriety as audiences were required to sign waivers before shows, and performances often involved smashed glass, flying debris, and dangerous stunts. In one incident Eye strapped a circular saw to his back, which slipped loose and nearly severed his leg. The escalation peaked on August 4, 1985, at the Toritsu Kasei Super Loft in Tokyo. After throwing metal objects into the crowd, Eye briefly disappeared from the stage and returned driving an excavator through the venue’s main doors. Despite not knowing how to operate the machine, he smashed equipment and punched a hole through the building’s wall while drummer Ikuo Taketani attempted to continue playing. The excavator eventually tipped, spilling gasoline across the floor. Eye then attempted to ignite it with a Molotov cocktail before venue staff restrained him, ending the show minutes before disaster for the roughly 100 people present. The incident helped cement Hanatarash’s reputation as too dangerous to book. A later performance opening for Psychic TV was stopped by police before it could occur, after it was discovered that Eye planned to blow up the stage using dynamite. Venue bans followed, eventually pushing the group out of the live circuit. Members later shifted toward a new project, Boredoms, which focused more on sound than destruction.

Hanatarash
After having an interest in j-rock for a while, I eventually discovered the Japanese punk and noise scene. I found out about Hanatarash, which famously had their founder, Yamataka Eye (who now goes simply by EYヨ, I believe) drive a bulldozer (or excavator) through a venue, causing quite a lot of damage. Obviously, I was intrigued by this. I've been looking out for any of the noise they've recorded on CD for a while, and I eventually came across this:
It is a collaboration between Hanatarash and Evil Moisture. I listened to it in full and I found it had 5 extra unlisted tracks. Track 14, which I believe is called fingertip believer is the one that stood out to me the most. It is a collection of mostly short clips of various sounds, noises, and samples, ranging from around 8 seconds to 2 minutes.
I think this is really interesting and I want to do some research into this cd specifically. The visuals are really interesting and I'm really happy I get to own this
