  1. In a way, this reminds me of what bands like Rage Against the Machine or Stray From the Path have been doing for years.
    Seeing a Japanese artist’s legacy stand in the same tradition feels rare — and honestly, something to be proud of.

  2. Oh, great, so they won’t be supporting any performances of his music in Hokkaido or Okinawa until the indigenous people there get their land back, right…?

    Right…?

    No? They’re only brave enough to call out genocide when OTHER countries do it? Of course they are.

  3. Unfortunately a big overlap between neckbeard Japanophiles and fascist islamophobes as seen in the comments here

  4. Isn’t there a ceasefire currently? I thought that was the goal of all these protests.

    Secondly the Instagram post reads: “This tangible act is just one step toward honoring Palestinian demands to isolate and delegitimize Israel”

    This just sounds like it blatantly opposes a two state solution.

  5. Mr Sakamoto should really consider re-learning history of modern Japan, the chapter about the JCP and JRA in particular
