Gipnoza (Russian: гипноза) is the second album by Kaku P-Model.

Overview

The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake was worked in as a plot device for the album's dystopian science fiction concept story, a sequel to the events of Vistoron, in which the reality-distorting Gipnoza nanobots are being planted inside of people through the food and medicine supply. Other story elements were taken from the 1996 album Convex And Concave by the P-Model/Devo tribute band Pevo.^[1]

Yasumi Tanaka, a founding member of P-Model, returned 30 years after his departure from music as a guest performer on "Go for it! Halycon". Pevo's 1go also appeared as a guest musician on "Time-eliminating Light", and performed alongside Susumu Hirasawa at the album's Parallel Kozak live concerts.
