THE MASTER OF SHIATSU formed a brief comeback during a creative lull that would last from 1984 through 1994. An audiovisual equivalent of the titular high-intensity massage form, ISHII made it, in his own words, "for therapeutic reasons".

About Gakuryu ISHII
石井岳龍
Gakuryu (Sogo) ISHII was born in Fukuoka in 1957. His dystopian punk rock musical BURST CITY (1982) made him one of the precursors of the Japanese cyberpunk movement of the 1980s. Since then he has worked with renowned Japanese actors and international punk bands on numerous short and feature films. NIPPON CONNECTION dedicated a retrospective to his work in 2013.
