Ascending the Peak: M.T. Fuji’s ‘Human Transport’ (CI-18)
Today’s entry explores an early release from the Japanese heavy metal scene: the album “Human Transport” by the band M.T. Fuji, released on the Continental label (Teichiku Records) with the catalog number CI-18 with obi.
Issued in 1984, this 12-inch vinyl LP captures a band operating during the formative years of the J-Metal explosion. “Human Transport” delivers a potent dose of early 80s heavy metal, characterized by powerful guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and strong, likely high-pitched, vocals typical of the era.
This album holds particular significance due to the musicians involved. M.T. Fuji featured members who would go on to achieve greater fame in other prominent Japanese bands. Notably, the lineup included vocalist Nobuo Yamada whom would later be part of the band Make-Up, famous for providing the theme songs for the hugely popular anime series “Saint Seiya.” This connection adds considerable historical weight to the album.
CI-18 is therefore more than just an early J-Metal release; it’s a crucial document capturing future stars honing their craft. For collectors and fans tracing the lineage of Japanese heavy metal and its connections to anime culture, M.T. Fuji’s “Human Transport” is a valuable and fascinating piece of history.
