Gauze performing the song "Genkai Wa Doko Da" at club Citta in 1991, opening for Discharge when they toured Japan, according to the video, the singer seems completely drunk, and a fight erupts on stage between him and an audience member, then with a guy from the club staff tring to separate them and end up the fight... Pretty pathetic and funny at the same time...
"Genkai Wa Doko Da" was Gauze's third album, back then they were already one of the oldest Japanese punk band still running but they didn't achieved to get the cult status of nowadays, the band was quite controversial due to some of their lyrics and their violent attitude on-stage.
Got this lp back in the day through the services of MCR U.K. mailorder, not many people gave a shit about Gauze in Europe back then, a friend of mine got the chance to see them live in London during their short 1989 U.K. tour ( see the picture above ), he tried to exchange words with the band but the Japs were rather cold and distant. No matter the cultural gap and the band un-politically correct attitude, the mediocre production values of this record, amidst the pathetic stage of the punk HxC production from 1991, that was one of the best kept secret Lp of that shitty year. Don't know about how many copies were pressed, but it seems it's the most difficult Gauze's album to find... Any further info is welcome.

10 songs and a 1989 Scotland live set, ripped from the original vinyl:
