From the related Wikipedia Entry:

According to Chinese mythology, the Five Great Mountains originated from the limbs and the head of Pangu (盤古/盘古 Pángǔ), the first being and creator of the world. Because of its eastern location, Mount Tài is associated with the rising sun which signifies birth and renewal. Due to this interpretation, it is often regarded as the most sacred of the Five Great Mountains. In accordance with its special position, Mount Tài is believed to have been formed out of Pangu’s head

The noisy pop of Japan’ s My Way My Love sounds to me a lot like Boredoms, but with the jerky rhythms smoothed out a bit. That’s a compliment. This Collection is an archive of their US and European shows over the last few years. Give MWML a listen here.
