I think it is a side project to his solo where they perform reworked versions of his solo stuff.
Thing is, I have no idea who the third dude (the other apart from Yugami) is. No one I've talked to knows either. He's never mentioned. It's so weird. or maybe he is but it's really unnoticeable.

You would be right and we can crack the mystery of the third man once I get my hands on their album... that is IF the vendor ever gets back to me first. :/

I wouldn’t call them remastered tracks at all but completely reinvented ones; I was very pleasantly surprised and awed. Kozi has redone the vocals and delivered a variety of really stylish music ranging from posh to smashing, cutthroat stuff in the vein of what he did when he first debuted solo. I daresay Babylo is the strongest, but the opening of Ism by Hora is an apocalyptic reckoning befit of the end of this album.

I’m so grateful this became available again, so if anyone is interested you can score one here: http://www.teknopolice.com/phone/product/6627
For those who don’t understand Japanese, there is an order form for international customers and customer service was very kind in assisting me.

And yeah, this is some of the cheapest packaging I have ever seen on a Japanese album, but what we lack is repaid and then some in quality music! So go on and support the man so he can keep being drunk and fueled. ;P

It's been a while since I listened to this (via internet thievery), but Hora's "ISM" remix seemed to me the only track on there that wasn't a ghastly joke.

I'll give you that Honey Vanity and Katharsis left me a bit disappointed, but there are some tracks that really gets my blood pumping. What can I say? Different tastes.

Ok... So that's what the hubbub was all about. Googletranslate wasn't working for me for some reason early this morning. I just saw a screenhot of a lengthy post of from ZIZ (in Japanese) shared on Facebook and someone posted a picture of Jiro in the comments, and I assumed the worst.

Are there setlists out there for any of these? I've always been curious what exactly the E-Z lives are about.

There should be, somewhere on twitter possibly. I believe E-Z is mostly Kozi-solo remixes? I could be wrong as i've never seen it tbh.. also still deciding if I'm going to see this one, as 3,500¥ seems a bit much for a livestream.

Here's a video he shared earlier this year from an E-Z live, playing Rebel Rebel
