TWO MONSTROUS NUCLEAR STOCKPILES was a one-off project Kyo formed in 2000, with Kaoru as a support guitarist.

They only have one release to their name, an instrumental electronic-style song called 清水寺 (Kiyomizudera). It was distributed on cassette during the Battle & Love fashion event, held by fashion labels Ba-tsu and Kera at the Laforet Museum Harajuku on March 20, 2000. It was also played that day, most likely the only time that this song was ever played live.

The distribution of the cassette was allegedly limited to 150 tapes, which made this release quite rare and for the longest time, it was not available on the internet. However, you can listen to it here.

The song was later re-released with vocals on the CD 第三帝國楽団 (Daisan Teikoku Gakudan), which accompanies Kyo's first poem book 自虐、斂葬腐乱シネマ (Jigyaku, Rensō Furan Shinema). The re-release is called スカポルトロノ「清水寺ポルノTYPE」 (Sukaporutorono "Kiyomizudera Poruno TYPE") and you can listen to it here.

Lyrics This song is an instrumental and does not have lyrics.

Trivia

The Japanese sentence in the booklet is 渡る世間は鬼ばかり (Wataru seken wa oni bakari), which means "There are only demons in this world". This is based on the expression 渡る世間に鬼はない (Wataru seken ni oni wa nai), which translates to "There are no demons in this world" and means that all humans are good at heart.
