Here is Hanatarash's 1992 EP titled The Hanatarash and his EYE. Wildness.

ナチの金属をサーフする酸

Aids-A-Delic

The fourth album from Hanatarash came out in 1994 and was affectionately titled Aids-A-Delic. My favorite Hanatarash album by far.

無し 陽物

Vomit Eat Shit Noise Music

The second album from The Hanatarash, sometimes called "Maw" bears the provocative statement in the liners "Kill all noise artists! We hate Whitehouse. Piss off N.W.W. Asshole C 93. Suck P.T.V. Fuck Coil. We love disco sound. Vomit eat shit noise music." Indeed.

Cock!

The snot-nosed, machete-wielding, molotov cocktail-hurling noise beast known as The Hanatarashi was formed in 1984 by Yamatsuka Eye, who later gained more notoriety as the singer of The Boredoms. The "band" quickly became infamous for their completely destructive and over-the-top live performances. These early shows are the stuff of legend and myth. Did Eye really destroy a venue with a bulldozer at a Hanatarshi show? Did he really almost cut his own leg off with a circular saw? Well, I'd like to believe so.

Hanatarashi's first album is a harsh, toxic wind of pure power electronic nastiness, and oh so so much cock! Not their most interesting work by a long shot, but it was their first so it's a good place to start. Later the band shortened the name to The Hanatarash and released albums way into the '90s. The momentum picked up when The Hanatarash experimented more with noise collage and the manipulation of pre-existing sounds, many from early hardcore and grind albums. The Hanatarash seemed to have an extreme reverence for hardcore, be it the makeshift graphic aesthetic or just the chaotic, anti-everything ethos of the genre. Even their logo is reminiscent of Negative Approach. The Hanatarash lived to go too far. Violent beyond the senseless, The Hanatarash were about as real as it fucking gets. Fuck You.

Cock!

Punk Yappie Cutting Tree

Here we have "Fatanarchy On Airtube", the collaborative aural assault from Japan's Hanatarashi (the pre-Boredoms noise group of Eye) and the U.S.A.'s Evil Moisture. The two entities share a love torturing the ears of their listeners with over-blown distorted noise. What we have here is a nasty collection of fast edits culled from a wide array of sources, samples (including Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger"), feedback, drones, screams in quick jabs and blasts. One of the songs is supposedly an Exploited cover, but how anybody could tell is beyond me. The whole thing conceptually seems to be a tribute to/piss take on punk. If you could imagine the clip-art collage aesthetic of a wall full of punk fliers transformed into sound, you might get an idea of what this is like. It's probably best to just experience it for yourself. Oh, and I swear I heard a milisecond of "Circle A" by the early Swiss grind band, Fear of God in there.
