[edit] REVERT

Can somebody revert de article to it's last good format?

Thanks for all the extra info Cam - this entry is looking good now - Greg Godwin

I would like to propose moving the discography to a page called Merzbow Discography, or something like that :) The-dissonance-reports 04:12, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

-- I disagree. I like the current layout. But I'm happy to go with whatever the majority think would be best! Lugnuts 18:16, 24 July 2006

I've put in a lot more releases today (31 july 06), there may be some typos. I'm not sure whether to leave the individual releases as links to stubs or not, and the contents box is too big now. The Richard Ramirez link isnt right (or maybe it is) ---130.159.248.222 15:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)-Run Dna 15:15, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Great job with the extra releases!

BTW, whoever sorted out the visual layout of the article: thank YOU!

Yes, thanks it looks much better now

[edit] Move discography

The discography should probably be moved to another article, since it takes up a fair bit of space and is particular obstructive in the table of contents. 66.229.160.94 04:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I think we've certainly reached the stage where a separate Merzbow discography page would not go amiss. Also, I think we need to cut some of the red-links by making some articles on the big releases in Merzbow's career. Good places to start would be: Metal Acoustic Music (first "real" release in Masami's opinion), OM Electrique (earliest known release), Cloud Cock 00 Grand, Music For Bondage Performance and Music For Bondage Performance 2, Rainbow Electronics, Age Of 369/Chant 2, Merzbeat (beat-oriented album, a departure from his abstract style), Amlux and Merzbuta. That will make it easier to justify making a discography article, too.

Another great way to spice up the discog page would be to insert some album covers or photos in at certain intervals. That would also give potential article writers something to work with.

I've now changed my mind and agree that the discog should have it's own page. I'm quite happy to move it, if others agree it would be a good idea? For example look up King Crimson, and they have their own discog page, and I would say it's only a fraction of size of Merzbows. Lugnuts 13:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

And Merzbow's is only gonna get bigger (and bigger, and bigger). I support the move. MrBook 14:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Yep, it is. I've created it's own page. Lugnuts 17:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question about family

Did he marry someone name Ichiyo or something like that? One of my cousins married some girl who had previously been married to some Japanese rockstar name masami something. Just wondering if this was him. Dinosaur puppy 08:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

His wife is named Reiko A. and she has accompanied him in some of his performances. I presume he's still married to her.

Masami is no longer married to Reiko, and has not been for some years now. His current wife is Jenny Akita, née Kawabata. She is a member of PETA and has been a huge influence on Masami with regards to animal rights themes in his music. 14:38 EST 5 September 2006

No i mean did he have an ex wife named Ichiyo (i think). Dinosaur puppy 03:24, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
