"Cosmic Pigs vs Invisible Ameba Men" was recorded in 1979 and 1980 at Horyuji Sound House and R.E.P. Studio (i.e. in Kawabata's room). At the time everyone in the group was in thrall to progressive rock, electronic music and musique concrete. Those obsessions led us to create a science-fiction story called "Cosmic Pigs vs Invisible Ameba Men" that within used as a theme for improvisation and effects manipulation. We thought we had come with a progressive rock masterpiece, but the only reaction from those who heard it was 'I don't get it.

The story goes as follows. The Cosmic Pigs, who live on Planet Pigsty, awaken to a sense of self and they start a rebellion against their rulers, the Invisible Ameba Men. The rebellion is crushed by the appearance of the Giant Ameba deity, and its leaders are sent to the guillotine. The remaining Cosmic Pigs are enslaved, but thanks to the magical intercession of their savior, the Lord of the Cosmic Pigs, they acquire Diamond Eyes. The Invisible Ameba Men want the diamond eyes for themselves, so they slaughter the Cosmic Pigs until they are wiped out. However, once the Invisible Ameba Men have the diamond eyes, they lose the ability to become invisible and they in turn are attacked and exterminated by a new invader, the Mitochondrian."
