That musician was a real sadist in his youth. Making kids eat shit and masturbate in front of other students. This was all well known for years in music circles.

The Japanese pronunciation is two syllables: Toh-kyoh.
In English, three syllables: Toh-ki-yoh. There's no kyo (きょ) sound in English. Likewise with Kyoto.

I’d just got my head round the fact I’d been wrong for decades. I’ll always have those ten minutes.
Thanks for your input

If you were speaking English, you weren't wrong. But, whatevs. You're welcome.

You're all wrong.

Please teach me Japanese. Pretty please.

Back to the thread.

Welcome to the new global ‘woke’ society.

Where talent doesn’t count, just the correct PC credentials.

I dread the day that Japan turns into a clone copy of US culture.

It's already here. We had BLM rallies in Tokyo and Osaka.

While I don’t agree with cancel culture, no amount of talent gives someone a pass for torturing a disabled person and forcing them to eat shit. The “woke society” have actually got something right for a change, fuck this cunt, he deserves to be prosecuted and jailed.

What are you talking about ? How is it PC to decide that a person who has deliberately and sadistically mistreated disabled kids for fun (multiple times and never regretted it) is not a good choice to participate in an event to celebrate global inclusion - including the celebration of paralympic athletes ?

This is not about being PC, it's about being a decent human being.
