シーモネーター

Alias used by the Japanese lyricist Seamo from the mid-90s until around 2004. Well known for his comical persona, シーモネーター's performances and music heavily utilized innuendo and sexual humor, often performing while wearing only a tengu mask. Debuting as a dancer for the band MAS under the name SEA-MO-NATOR, シーモネーター left the group and subsequently became a resident MC at LUSH THE UNDERGROUND, alongside G-TON and MC W.I.R.E. At LUSH, シーモネーター met DJ TAKI-SHIT, and they then formed the duo シーモネーター & DJ TAKI-SHIT. The duo continued to perform at various nightclubs around Nagoya, producing a few indie releases along the way. The duo then made their major debut with Mastersix Foundation in 2002 with the single 浪漫ストリーム. While シーモネーター and DJ TAKI-SHIT independently worked in various collaborations at this time, the duo's final release was their album シモダス, after which Seamo abandoned the alias シーモネーター around 2004 as he believed he had done everything he could do with the alias at that point. As of late, SEAMO has started to adopt the シーモネーター moniker again for various skits, songs, and live performances. Name source: 下ネタ (Shimoneta, "vulgar humor) + ターミネーター (The Terminator)
