Arise Young Lions! - Mishima Record
Just found this listing for the ultra-rare Mishima record. Out of my price range, but someone who reads this site should own it…
Several songs on the German ritual-folk band Golgatha’s 2005 “Kydos – Reflections on Heroism” album were dedicated to Yukio Mishima. The songs “Icarus” and “World Serpent” were particularly inspired by Mishima and his “Sun and Steel,” according to Chris from the band.

A headlessgod.com reader passed along a link to a Mishima tribute by Latvian heavy noise electronic band ZAHNRAD.

MISCELLANY: “Zahnrad” apparently means “gear” in German. I found the image above on the Wikipedia site for “zahnrad.”
The gear reminded me of the wheel in the Tatenokai flag.

Philip Glass Wishes He Had Time to Take a Four-Hour Hike
by Greta Stetson, http://www.telluridewatch.com/
Glass discussed the challenges of composing for Mishima – which he calls a personal musical turning point – during a presentation on Friday night. Writing themes for the film’s complicated narrative developed his “technique of film scoring in a very special way.”
