abra 40,910 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 News recently came out that producer and song-writer Akimoto Yasushi will be writing the lyrics for BTS upcoming Japanese single. This has led to criticism from Korean fans due to Yasushi's alleged right wing past. In this post I'll take a look at the lyrics of two notable songs that will expose his despicable right wing nature. Exhibit 1: Bokutachi Wa Tatakawanai (the song that started it all) As you can see, this video is extremely violent. The violence and militaristic image cemented his status as a right-winger in Korea. And then we get to the lyrics... And things change completely. Bokutachi Wa Tatakawanai means "We will never fight" and is a pacifist song. We will never fightBelieving in loveWe said we've only exchanged blows Time will never resolve With only a single buttonMismatched which caused a conflict between each otherThe misery till todayLet's forgive each other We will never fightBelieving in loveWith that fist raisedThe day has come to take down everyoneLalala... (Someday)Lalala... (Surely)Lalala... We won't fightWe believe in loveThe day will come when everyoneLowers their raised fists Hatred binds us in chainsAnd so we'll break them Full lyrics: http://stage48.net/studio48/bokutachiwatatakawanai.html Now that we've discussed Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai, let's move on the Xzibit 2: Kaze wa Fuite Iru This song was released after the earthquake and following tsunami hit Japan in 2011 as AKB48 took part in the relief efforts by donating and visiting the ravaged Tohoku region several times for charity concerts. Even so, the wind blowstowards the futureFeel the breath of lifeon your cheekEven so, I will stronglylive onNow, shall we start bylaying down a single brick? The wound of our memorieshave become scarsWithin the pain,kindness is bornWho should Iembrace first?Let's talk about our dreamswhile in our warmth Full lyrics: http://stage48.net/studio48/kazewafuiteiru.html How will BTS' image ever recover from working with such a right-wing extremist?

Bad Boy 334 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL WHAT?!?!?! Aki p about to give BTS a 48 song. How will BTS ever recover their image after working with such a garbage composer of songs like all 48/46 group's discographies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whysoserious? 1,141 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 K-fans are making a big deal out of it 1. He is the main producer for that new IZ*ONE group and nobody is making a fuss about it. 2. His other lyrics might be problematic but it doesn't mean the lyrics he wrote for Bts will be the same, especially with Bang PD's involvement. 3. It's just a side track anyways because they will make Airplane pt2 (where the lyrics will properly be just translated from the Korean lyrics) the title. (I assume this one because I only see Airplane pt2 MV in the setlist for DVD.) trld; Non-issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abra 40,910 Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Are you trolling? Or am I just that stupid? I don't see anything wrong with the lyrics I thought I was clear enough but maybe I should've been more obvious. I was showing that the lyrics completely contradicted the current narrative in Korea. With that said he's written like... 1000 songs or something, some of whom are a bit controversial, but afaik none of them are right wing. I feel like a lot of people didn't read the lyrics. It's a good case study in how many post without reading the OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nip&Hip 2,601 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Is there something specific that kfans are mad about? I tried researching him and the only thing that comes up is the Einstein lyrics and there is songs like that or worse in kpop daily? Or am I missing something about him?
