Toshinori Fukuda

Toshinori Fukuda was a Japanese drummer, primarily known as Dynamite Gero, one of the early members of The Gerogerigegege. He participated in the recording of the band's first EP, Sexual Behavior In The Human Male 7" released in 1988, and a few other studio sessions and live concerts in the late eighties. He accompanied Gero 30 (with his senzuri, i.e. 'on-stage masturbation' act) and Juntaro Yamanouchi on guitar & guitar tuner at Toshima Kokaido in Nov 1987—a 15-min segment of the concert, including a cover of Japanese hardcore punk band LSD (11), was released 30 years later on the 2018 Senzuri Champion Revised = センズリチャンピオン-改訂版- CD. Two more live tracks, recorded in Dec '87 at Baus Theater (with Juntaro on bass and Hironao Komaki/Dee Dee Gero on guitar), and back at Toshima Public Hall in May '88, were remastered for the 1996 Mort Douce Live CD on the Hong Kong industrial/noise label Sound Factory. In the liner notes to a '98 Recollections Of Primary Masturbation (338 Songs CD), Toshinori Fukuda is credited playing drums on "75 Live Songs (1987)," a 31-min long track which is supposed to be a 'remastered' パンクの鬼 (Tokyo Anal Dynamite) album. On the original Tokyo Anal Dynamite, recorded in Oct 1987, the drummer was simply marked as 死にました—in Japanese, it literally means "he/she/they died," an equivalent of 'obiit' or a 'dagger' † symbol next to the deceased person's name. It's quite possible that Fukuda passed away by the time T.A.D. CD was released in 1990 since the drummer didn't have any credited appearances after ~1988.
