yeah - I knew Japan was still a Reefer Madness sort of country but didn't know it was to this extent. This is a really weird situation because A) Denki Groove have been an institution for 30 years, from what I read their music is still everywhere, and B) Taki isn't *really* the main guy in the band anyway, Ishino writes all the music and (I assume) gets most of the royalties, so it's kind of fucked in that sense too. It seems like there's a big backlash to this, Ishino's tweets are getting 70k likes (up from say, 100) and Ryuichi Sakamoto publicly came out in his defense. It's just obnoxious, a great example of why streaming services kinda suck, especially since copies of all DGs stuff just went up 150% overnight on Discogs and eBay. R. Kelly is still on iTunes, by the way.

Sega pulled a game off the shelves because he plays one of the characters. Disney pulled Frozen off the shelves because he voices Olaf in Japan.
They don't play around. Screws everyone.

Used to walk around blaring Takkyu Ishino's DJ-F400 mix in my headphones all the time in middle school, it was in its own league. Everything he did around that time was killer. Voxxx is tremendous.

I found a vinyl copy of Voxxx on discogs for 40 bucks!!!! But because of the stupid pandemic it would've cost an extra $64 to ship!!
