The live experience
What reaches the room
Ichi The Killer is best known as a ground-breaking 2001 Japanese yakuza splatter film directed by Takashi Miike. While the film itself centers on bold storytelling and provocative visuals, the accompanying music offers a separate, equally influential thread in its cultural footprint. The soundtrack, released in 2003, was produced by Karera Musication—a project led by Seiichi Yamamoto and Yoshimi P-We of the experimental group Boredoms. This page provides a concise biography, highlights from the discography related to the film, and a look at upcoming tour information where applicable. Note: there are no public 2025 live performances under the Ichi The Killer name; this page references the film and its associated soundtrack work.
