i'm fond of the jokes along the lines of "you know shit's about to hit the fan when the kazoo comes out" but i just learned what instrument actually makes that noise in the mp100 ost.
it's the seamoons.
they're "machines with lungs and vocal chords"
i don't know what it is exactly, but knowing it's not a kazoo but one of these tall fellas sure brings Something to the experience
- reactions when i've exposed people to this knowledge have been pretty evenly split between delighted fascination and visceral discomfort and/or terror
- the art collective that created the seamoons (seamoonses?), maywa denki, is all about making nonsense instruments and nonsense art
- the gentlemans are people size and have a wide power stance going on
- they're in the ost because the composer, kawai kenji, has used them before and is just wild like that
