    Again, you are trying to explain the most common sense aspects of Japan to someone who lives and works here for a long time. Police brutality protest = we are talking about the police. Veeerrry simple my friend ﾔﾌﾔﾌ〜♪(∩´∀｀)

    Just making sure, there's some crazies who think all Japanese should repent for things their great grandparents did. 👌

    Making Japan more accountable to its corruption benifits not only foreigners but the locals as well as we all have to work together on this planet ❤️

    Japan, the Japanese police force or the Japanese government because those are three entirely separate things. The citizens of Japan don't have any sins to atone nor do any people of any country that are just living their daily lives. This whole thing about a pseudo-religiousity and all of us alive now have sins because of what our ancestors did is ridiculous. If you're talking about the strong armed and kangaroo court system of law in Japan that's fine, same with you inept governmental bodies, but your everyday Japanese citizen has nothing to feel bad about.

    You do not even know the correct demographic of foreigners in Japan, amd trying to explain to someone whos been here for many years? And as I said before it is each persons personal choice to take that risk. Open your mind and heart. 

    Yes it is, but don't move to a foreign country and expect to be accepted, integrated and to feel like one of them. You could live your entire life in Japan or anywhere else and never been seen as one of them because you aren't the same race, but a discussion on racism in Japan isn't a constructive one. I'll leave it at that.

    You seem to not get the parallel. A blm event being lead by black people is logical, just as foreigners leading protest for themselves is logical, you just said yourself the people affected leading makes sense , is there a risk? Yes. But it is an individuals right to choose to take that risk for themselves. You jump to white but the Kurdish man is middle eastern? In Japan Ive seen and heard of my Indonesian, korean,  and Filipino friends getting equally bad treatment. Those people if they choose to protest it is their right and def I support them. Much better than bootlicking logic. 

    Japan is a homogeneous country, anyone not Japanese will be singled out, especially those of mixed race. The people protesting in Japan are lucky that the police force there is trained in restraint and don't go around beating protesters with batons. I said white people the majority of foreigners living in Japan are from European or north American countries besides the huge demo of Brazilian Japanese. Protest all you want, but also be man/woman/xur enough to accept the consequences and the blowback.

    It is really funny seeing people who are not Japanese use the term gaijin. Like uncle tom level. 

     

    So uh, lets say BLM protest being lead by black people would be bad by your logic? 

    Been living here for nearing 7 years, have terrible experiences with police fucking me over just for being a foreigner. been choked in front of police officers just waiting for me to defend myself, was pretty much told it was my fault by an old countryside cop after finding my ex's body after a suicide. so uhh the people affected by these BS situations leading the protest recently is not strange? Or about"look at me!" I hate those typical english teacher jobber types too, but that Kurdish man who was a victim of excessive force leading a protest for him and others like him is 100% normal. 

    How would a BLM rally being led by blacks a bad thing? A BLM rally led by whites would be a bad thing, and gaijin leading a rally about police brutality is just asking for even harsher treatment. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, especially foreigners. Honestly being a non-japanese in Japan gives white people perspective on how it is to be black pretty much everywhere outside of African and afro Caribbean countries. You'd  be fucked over by cops in any country you're living that you're not a native of.

    @secret_no_03 They haven't specified anything as far as I could see, just that they will release one track each week, for a period of 7 weeks. So either the album contains 7 track in total, or there might be some other songs remaining if they will ever release this in physical format (which they haven't talked about yet).

     

    My hunch is that it'll just be 7 tracks tho (they've been releasing "smaller-size" albums in the past years to begin with), and probably they originally wanted to release them on CD but due to the virus the CD pressing situation is more complicated/delayed for everyone so this is just an alternative way to get the album out there (plus I kinda enjoy waiting for something new every week, heh :D).

    It'd get them more money in theory if bands start releasing tracks as singles rather than charging a flat rate for an album. I mean not in this case since they're $.99 each, but if they released them over a dollar they would get more than the $13 you usually see albums for on iTunes.

    I grew up in the era of nu-metal, then through anime discovered J-Rock and through J-Rock happened upon J-Metal and VK. I was into VK for a good 5 years before the world of Japanese hip hop ensnared me and I stayed with that for probably 5 more years until I came back to VK. My musical tastes are cyclical, I'll listen to something for a while, then onto the next thing, but it's always Japanese, never American or Kpop or anything like that. These days I find myself into the goth and nuwave Japan has to offer and VK is the last thing on my mind as I've replaced the VK on my phone with the likes of Auto-Mod, Roses of Dead Essences, SPEECIES, XA-VAT, ZIZ, Etc. VK is in my blood however and all it will take is a band I care about to bring me back in and the cycle will start all over again. I've never understood the appeal of KPOP, and it's not a language barrier because I loved TRAX and I used to be a big fan of Se7en and Rain, but KPOP is just way too fucking popular, from what I've seen on Twitter it's a fan base of gen Z trolls and it's cringe as fuck and it seems to be based on pushing merch even more than VK and who the hell can keep up with all of these giant groups members anyway? That guy stole the blue hair idea from KOHH first as well.

    but you can? you can ignore signature / posts / chatbox / mentions and/or messages from an user, so basically everything BUT the status updates. 

    You can? That's news to me, wouldn't begin to know how to do that. Also, I guess the ability to ignore topics sounds like an interesting little wrinkle, that way you don't have to mark forum as read all of the time when there's stuff you're not interested in that has new posts.

    That's so sad

    It's part not wanting to see him like that and part ignorance, they had deliberately lied to us and said that he'd only be there a few days, he died there not even a week later. The cancer had gone all through him by then and he had gone outside and walked around and fell and broke his arm and they put it in a sling because it wasn't going to heal anyway and I spent all of my waking hours the last six months of his life taking care of him and the last thing I said to him before I gave him some liquid morphine they had given him for pain was to get some rest. I woke up the next morning to find out that he'd fallen during the night and was taken back to the hospital in the morning; my grandmother having stayed up with him all night when he had woken her up yelling. Clearly I was passed out because taking care of someone with cancer, watching them wither away and lose 100 lbs, literally from 238 to 138 the week he died and looked like a holocaust victim is mentally taxing and stressful, made worse by him losing his mind and wondering where his parents were (obviously they were long dead). I really didn't want to see him like that and I don't think either of us could have stood me having to leave him there; he being to himself and talking up until about a day or so before he died and they sedated him to the point that he never woke up.

     

    The worst part is probably because we had gotten there right after he had died, maybe 5 minutes too late and I never got to say goodbye or tell him I loved him, etc and the man raised me like a son since he had no children (my mother is from another man) and my father had been out of the picture until I was 15 so he was basically my dad. I won't continue to go at it, but man it's so much harder than you realize, you're waiting for them to die, you're just wanting them to be out of their misery and they linger and linger and then, yeah. If you ever have a loved one who's terminally ill don't wait to say goodbye because you might never get the chance.

    Not sure if this was pointed out before but their upcoming 4-track single will be available digitally at a bunch of places:

     

     

    (also you can see the cover art in the above tweet)

    Well thank fuck for that, I was worried since they didn't indicate where you could get it for the longest time.

    The main problem in Japan isn't japanese way of thinking, the main problem is gaijins that really hate Japan but continue living here. I'm so terrified, there're a lot of really aggressive people. 

    They always have to be front and center, there's video of protests in Tokyo and gaijin are literally in the front leading everyone else.

    I wish I would have visited my grandfather in hospice when he was dying and had a proper goodbye. I also wish that I took better care of myself in my 20's (thankfully I'm in good health but still) and I wish that my aforementioned grandfather hadn't worked all of his life to die with nothing to his  name but a 30 year old beaten down vehicle. I don't regret really anything that I've done personally because I'm a strong believer in fate and feel that everything happens for a reason.
