ok my first question is why in all of their music videos do they have those pieces of paper stuck to their faces?

Also who is that fat guy in their music videos?

Thats pretty much it really, I know they're stupid questions but i'm curious about it. Thanks to those who can answer my questions.

Taken from US release of BECK volume 3

Q: I just have to ask one more question: What is going on with you wearing character masks and covering up your faces in your photos? Are those characters truly the Beat Crusaders?

A: When I first started Beat Crusaders, I was a businessman in Japanese show biz. Basically, the band was totally my hobby, so I wasn't thinking about being famous in the beginning. Eventually, the omen ["mask" in Japanese] became well known...



I don't know who the fat guy is but he's really funny, especially in "Feel."

Their video for Full Moon on Water really threw me. Those guys have a sick sense of humor. And I don't mean sick as in disgusting, sick as in weird.

Edit: I know that this is an old post, but I actually found an answer to your first question. They do sort of show their faces in their Be My Wife music video.

They dress up as the character from the legend of the monkey king story. I say sort of show their faces because they all wear sun glasses and one has a pigs snout on his nose.
