There are more artists using this name:
1) Boris. The cult-favorite experimental trio Boris is known to regularly switch musical genres between albums. Drawing from a wide variety of musical styles including psychedelic rock, punk, sludge/doom metal, minimalism, drone and more. Boris takes its name from a song on the Melvins’ Bullhead album.
Boris formed in 1992 and consists of guitarist Wata, bassist/guitarist/vocalist Takeshi, and drummer/vocalist Atsuo. They made their first recorded appearance on an obscure 1994 compilation entitled Take Care of Scabbard Fish, released only in Japan and now out of print. Absolutego, their full-length debut, came out in 1996 on the band’s own Fangs Anal Satan imprint but was unavailable in the U.S. for years, a situation that was remedied when the Los Angeles-based Southern Lord label reissued the album in early 2001 along with a bonus track and new packaging. Their next album, Amplifier Worship, came out on the Mangrove label in 1998 and was also unavailable in the U.S. for several years; San Francisco’s Man’s Ruin had planned to reissue it in the fall of 2001, but the label folded before that could happen. 1998 also saw the release of the Boris/Keiji Haino collaboration, a live disc entitled Black: Implication Flooding, which came out on Japan’s Inoxia Records. In 1999, Boris issued a split CD with fellow Japanese band Choukoko No Niwa, More Echoes, Touching Air Landscape, which also came out on Inoxia and featured Boris weighing in with a brief (for them) 28-minute contribution. Their third full-length album, Flood, was released two years later on the MIDI Creative label.

I think it's very cute that Jengaship considers himself to a fan of Boris when his play history makes it rather clear he doesn't listen to them first and foremost for their drone material.

Some old dude got 20 years for lolicon in the US (see: NewYorkTimes), so it's actually probably more illegal there than it is here in Canadiania. I think the only person who got arrested for lolicon here was already a sex offender.
