Irrational Rising of Stupid Boneheads
Hi, all. I'm a Japanese who knows 'very' well about the Japanese Skinhead scene. I'm afraid The Oppressed and United Front chose wrong Japanese bands to associate with. Because those Japanese UNITED WE STAND (You don't live up to your name. You better change your name into "United Wankers"!) and Oi! VALCANS have a noncommittal attitude against White Power Music and Racism. "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" is a slogan that Martin Luther King, Jr. said on the American Black people's civil rights movement in the '60s but those stupid Japanese bands don't understand what it's all about. And still associate with those Japanese boneheads like The Hawks who think Skrewdriver is pretty cool and who covered a Skrewdriver song on their own CD.
What's the color of your skin, eh??? They should have known better. They're diggin' a hole for themselves. They're such posers... they've never even experienced real racial discrimination outside Japan! Don't mean a thing... Poseur are gonna blunder... They don't care about the score... Tell me, where's yer creed... You're nothing that we need... Allegiance whose frontman is a Canadian declared openly in the "King of The City" lyrics:
Was it out of shame that you rejected your language and race... Did you wish that you were born in another time and place... What's the colour of your skin and what is the nation of your birth... Sang your song but forgot who you were...
Where Is SHARP?
It's a shame that the Japanese Skinhead scene is out of order. Ha, you make me laugh. It takes a lot of grit to do something like SHARP. There're no such advanced things as SHARP or RASH in the Japanese scene. They don't have to put such a fake indulgence SHARP mark on the "Skinhead Unity" CD (Don't buy that CD, I heard it really bites) because those Japanese bands are not divided into Nazis/Fascists or not. It's a kind of a trick only a child would have fallen for.
Offensive statements of a racist or chauvinistic character are almost routine among Japanese skinheads. CD's of White Power bands are being offered on Yahoo Japan Corp's auction site. All the Japanese bands never even have their own says clearly against these facts and, what is worse, there're a lot of stupid boneheads who approve White Power Music and Racism - UNITED WE STAND and Oi! VALCANS just want to avoid complications. This is disgraceful. This is the unacceptable face of the Japanese scene. There needs to be tougher laws against these boneheads.
I've been living in this country for many years, and I still can't read the headlines. Yes means no. Maybe means never. I think it's maybe a characteristic of Japanese people. The lack of public debate surrounding it is a peculiarity of the Japanese. Being down-to-earth is not a characteristic most Japanese bands have. Let's not buy their CDs; they're a stick in the mud.
The Structure of Japan's Dark Side
As you know, Japan is still a hopelessly 'totalitarian' state. In a sense, it might be a fascism that The Oppressed detested as if it were a viper. Also, we have no TRUE "freedom of speech" or no TRUE "freedom of expression" in our Japanese society. If I say something critically toward Japanese bands, they will threaten me with violence (e.g. Jerks at Pogo 77 Records). As a proof of that, The Avoided wrote such a song as "Taboo" ironically:
Read the scandals on the paper... The hidden truth and the plotted news... Whether we become aware of it or not, we're too chicken to accuse... Threat! Pressure! and Violence! (All We Got)... You better keep silence cos it's under taboo... The other side people you see it on the telly... Living a life almost suicide... But there's no much difference between the groups here and the dictator of the other side...
Another Japanese band named Youth Anthem said "No more violence!" on one of their songs but it must have been a lie. Japan could have a freedom of speech, but large parts of it choose not to be that.
A bunch of stupid Japanese bands are eyeballed our website all throughout the internet, looking for even the smallest faults. Those little fuckers are only capable of slandering our website at the internet. I don't get off on "Dokyuso Oi" anymore. They like to hang tough, but underneath I bet they're scared of us. They don't take criticism very well. I think they're too high-strung. They never listen to my advice. They're still so hard-headed. They are just a bunch of prima donnas. The Japanese Oi! cannot make a discussion; it's gridlock. Don't cop out just because you are afraid of getting into a little bit of argument. As a journalist, I want to get the lowdown on them, so the truth can be revealed. I wrote such a thing on the "Japanese Punk is a reign of terror".
Doll, Doll, Doll
This Japanese punk scene is so dinky. It only has one magazine. No TRUE fanzines are available. It was such a letdown when I saw almost all the Japanese bands and labels selling their souls to the "Super Head Magazine DOLL". I hate sucking up to the "Super Head Magazine"! That "Super Head Magazine" was bogus.
The Japanese media are very good at reporting on foreign issues - Super Head Magazine DOLL, for example, makes excellent discographies about foreign bands - but when it comes to our own domestic issues, their coverage is not so good. I think it's maybe a characteristic of Japanese media. Even local media in Japan isn't good at criticizing their own areas. Japanese media tend to hesitate in covering critical issues on their own doorstep. Absolutely, The media must be willing to pursue the truth, because they are the public's eyes and ears. I was worried that the Super Head Magazine would become a PR machine for those bands and labels. But the Super Head Magazine's dictatorship now in place it's even worse than that.
A system of Japanese punk that is unprecedented in its secrecy and in the lack of public debate surrounding it. The Super Head Magazine's tenacious grip on news has led to a steady decline of interest in punk domestically. Fans may spend hours sitting around doing nothing, while waiting for a friendly band or label on the Super Head Magazine to provide them with some scraps of news.
Recently the morale of punk fans in this country has seriously declined. There are many reasons for this, but a number of fans complaining about the Super Head Magazine. Therefore, I wrote such an article about the Super Head Magazine ("Japanese Punk is ruled by the fascism called 'Super Head Magazine DOLL'").
Even those despotic countries like China and North Korea are turning such a Japanese 'totalitarianism' into a joke and making a fool of us. Originally, Japanese ain't got no roots individualism. I'm the one and only Japanese individualist who can have his own say clearly though. Haha.
Who's Who in Dokyuso Oi
If you doubt what I'm saying, you should ask them about it. They can't surely answer it. I don't know why, but those dorks have blind faith in the word "United". They have a one track mind. UNITED, UNITED, UNITED! They're completely clueless, they really don't know what a real Oi!/Skinhead cult is and what a real Racism is. I call those stupid bastards "Dokyuso Oi (Dork's Oi)". The so-called 'Japanese Oi!' you are referring to is, in fact, a work of "Dokyuso Oi". Those don't look like real Oi!. I think it's a scam. Actually, I remember Anger Flares (Ex-UNITED WE STAND) showed off those Skrewdriver record sleeves to sell on their website a few years ago. Hey, you can make a quick buck selling White Power CD's to Yahoo! Japan Corp's Auctions.
If you work together with The Oppressed, you should stop associating with those Nazi boneheads, should stop selling your souls to the Media Fascism and should know the true meaning of the word "Anti-Racism" or "Anti-Fascism". We're not having any bullshit from you.
Oh, yuck! I heard those boneheads invite The Oppressed to Japan but I'm against the plan. That's a cock and bull story if ever I've heard one. Something's not quite right. I can smell a rat. They have no part in this. I wrote such things in the Japanese language on this site. The Oppressed and United Front, your kind respect just one thing. Japan Money. Now, money is all Japan is good for. Right?
So I will translate them all into English and will tell those people around the world in the furure. I don't have enough time to do it now. While I'm translating them into English, here're a few of the translated articles thru a web translation:

Another Lost Decade
I know those Japanese bands, nationalist or not, do not injure a foreigner. Maybe they themselves are good people. However, the big problem is that The Oppressed is the overly-serious SHARP fundamentalist who's spreading Anti-Racism/Anti-Fascism all around the world. Well, so, those Japanese United We Stand and Oi! Valcans are really proper bands for The Oppressed??? I don't think so.
Excluding some of those goddamn Toy Dolls believers called "Oi! of Japan", the Japanese Skinhead scene once had those nationalist organizations such as JM (Japanese Movement - Humpty Dumpty, Bad Vultures, Bull The Dougs, Cracker Jacks, Warmachine, Contraclockwise, etc.) in Osaka and SSS (Skinhead Samurai Spirits - Bull The Buffalos, Cannons, Sledgehammer, Ouka, Ikazuchi, Aggro Knuckle, Eastern Youth, Kabuto, Growl Strike, Worst, etc.) in Tokyo who worshiped Ian Stuart (Skrewdriver) as a god but never ever had such left-wing ones as SHARP or RASH in Japan. Well, how about those United We Stand and Oi! Valcans' political attitude toward Racism and Fascism? I'm sure they never ever say anything about them and never ever take any action to them. What is worse, they are still associating with The Hawks who think Skrewdriver is pretty cool and who covered Skrewdriver song on their own CD. Actually, Skrewdriver is musically good. But do you think whatever bands musically good are OK even if they're singing a song like "Kill those fucking Japs, Yellow Monkeys, Second Class Citizens", eh? You take your jokes too far. Yeah, there's a SHARP logo mark on the sleeve of the "Skinhead Unity" CD. I'm afraid those Japanese United We Stand and Oi! Valcans are using that SHARP logo mark as if it were an indulgence even though they never ever done anything for SHARP. There're some money-making fake civil liberty organizations by Yakuza in Japan but I never heard such a word as "Fake SHARP". I'm too shocked by their stupidity to say a word.
The fact that the Japanese skinhead scene was originally the right-wing (never have been the left-wing like SHARP or RASH). The fact that United We Stand and Oi! Valcans are having a free ride on such a right-wing scene without saying anything about it. And the fact that those Japanese bands released a CD with The Oppressed and will invite The Oppressed to Japan in the future. They will give those Nazi boneheads like The Hawks, Strong Crowd and R.I.P. whose URL contains "88=Heil Hitler" and whose audience boneheads seig heiling on their shows as the support bands for The Oppressed Japan Tour??? You don't really mean it, do you??? Japanese fans understand these bullshit facts well??? The Oppressed is not familiar with the Japanese skinhead scene, so such nasty things will be able to pass unremarked. I'm sure The Oppressed will leave a stain on their Anti-Fascist/Anti-Racist career. But those Japanese bands are utterly confused. I believe SHARP is not such an easy way of life. I myself don't want to horse around under these "Fake SHARP" Japanese bands. Japanese Skinheads are a sign of the degenerate Japanese society.
"Racist Friend" By The Special A.K.A.
If you have a racist friend
Now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end
Be it your sister
Be it your brother
Be it your cousin or your, uncle or your lover
If you have a racist friend
now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end
Be it your best friend
Or any other
Is it your husband or your father or your mother?
Tell them to change their views
Or change their friends
Now is the time, now is the time, for your friendship to end
So if you know a racist who thinks he is your friend
Now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end
Call yourself my friend?
Now is the time to make up your mind, don't try to pretend
Be it your sister
Be it your brother
Be it your cousin or your uncle or your lover
So if you are a racist
Our friendship has got to end
And if your friends are racists don't pretend to be my friend
So if you have a racist friend
Now is the time, now is the time for our friendship to end
GOODBYE
There are a lot of better Japanese bands like Allegiance, Sandiest and Power of Idea who can help The Oppressed. The Oppressed should have known better. In short, The Oppressed was deceived. The true SHARP doesn't belong to UNITED WE STAND nor Oi! VALCANS who have such a "racist friend".
If you have a racist friend
Now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end...Now, The Oppressed is in reduced circumstances. The Oppressed gonna blunder.
"Pogo 77 till you fucking die" by Toshi
Sing a song without the rhythm and rhymes
Make it a record just out of a sense of duty
Sell your soul to the Super Head Magazine at any time
You're always getting ready for earning pocket money
For the punx
Up the punx
Pogo 77 till you fucking die
In the wonderfull world of Dokyuso Oi village
Where those personal considerations rule
My freedom of speech has been pillaged
Just like bullying in junior high schools
For the punx
Up the punx
Pogo 77 till you fucking die
The Japanese punk scene is a reign of terror
They have no freedom of speech
It's the same as China's or North Korea's
They are now standing in the breach
For the punx
Up the punx
Pogo 77 till you fucking die
A con man called "Sweet Bitter Generation"
He always gives your bullshit work a good write-up
We don't wanna see such an open masturbation
Put that Super Head Magazine on the scrap heap
For the punx
Up the punx
Pogo 77 till you fucking die
"THE AGE OF INNOCENCE" By The Griffin
They said,
"All you punks, back to the street"
"All you skinheads, walk the beat"
Wondering who you are, sitting in the park
I think you know you're just a jerk
If take home anything
Let it be your will to think
If you want to sport your fashion
Cut the parody, wear them with passion
See my shining Doctor Martens
Wore my feet down just to get them
So you've got some great rare records
Your friends all come but your gigs are weird
Know the jacket colors but not the song's name
Nothing to say but you feel no shame
If take home anything
Let it be your will to think
I never sing about how to kiss
I don't give a toss
I never write about working class
The age of innocence has passed!
They said,
"All you punks, back to the street"
"All you agro boyz, walk the beat"
The streets aren't where I was born and bred
Don't need you to wake up and go to bed
Each man himself, no right, no wrong
If you believe that, then ignore this song
If numbers really say it all
This song may be off the wall
"OUTLAWS" By Allegiance
DOCTOR MARTENS, MA-1, BRACES AND STA-PRESS
WILL TODAY BE LONSDALE OR FRED PERRY?
PUTS YOUR INTELLECT TO THE TEST
LAST YEAR'S MOHAWK COME AND GONE, NOW IT'S CLOSE-CROPPED HAIR
FOOTBALL GEAR'S OUT ON DISPLAY
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I FUCKING CARE
77 OR 82, IT'S ALL THE FUCKING SAME
69 OR 84, THEY'RE NOT YOURS TO CLAIM
THE DIFFERENCES PASS YOU BY, INSECURITY BRINGS PAIN
BUT YOU WANT TO HAVE A LABEL, NOT A NAME
OUTLAWS, THE RULES OF REBELLION
OUTLAWS, THE YOUTH OF TODAY
AND THIS YEAR'S TREND WILL NEVER LAST
RE-CREATE YOURSELF, DENY YOUR PAST
JUST WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE
WE COULD NEVER TELL
DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE UNDERSTOOD?
MAYBE IT'S JUST AS WELL
LAST YEAR'S BLACK LEATHER COME AND GONE
NOW IT'S RED, WHITE AND BLUE
WELL IF YOU WANT TO WEAR A UNIFORM
THERE'S BETTER THINGS THAT YOU COULD DO
