Minazou, Japan's only male Elephant Seal in captivity, died recently at
the young (for an elephant seal) age of 11. He was the inspiration for
Merzbow's 2002 album Merzbeat, the flagship album in the on-going Merz-Series on Important.
He was also the album's cover star and the subject of numerous
photographs, paintings and postcards made by Masami Akita. It's
certainly a sad time for Masami and Jenny Akita as they were obviously
quite charmed by Minazo and made frequent trips to the aquarium to
visit Minazo. Photos and links to a couple of great photo sites
of this tremendous animal on Important's news page.
