"He describes locking a disabled classmate in a box, taping a cardboard box around his head and pouring chalk inside, wrapping him in a mattress and kicking him, making him eat his own faeces, and forcing him to masturbate in front of other students." 👈acts by #KeigoOyamada

In the interview with @rockinon_com 27 years ago in the ‘90s. The editor of that magazine #YoichiroYamazaki posted a formal apology on their blog, admitting and regretting the decision he has made in publishing the article in the first place.

Reportedly in that article, #KeigoOyamada admitted that those acts were perpetrated, but not by himself. He said, literally, “I just came up with those ideas,”emphasizing that he was not part of those heinous acts, but just masterminded them. As if that would make it any lighter.

27 years ago, #KeigoOyamada was 25. Not a teenager in high-school. Not someone who just finished schooling and started in the real world. He was 25, at the beginning of his blissful career. Both Oyamada and editor Yamazaki could have had better common sense.

27 years later, the story resurfaced to their embarrassment. #KeigoOyamada is now a well-respected artist in his 50’s, a big shot who would be selected as the lead composer of a national pride event. And the reason he would not resign is because ‘they’ve all worked hard for it."

And the 52-year-old wrote in his public apology, “… as a result of careful consideration, I decided to accept the offer because I wished that my music could be of any help.” This from a man who called himself “immature.” This grown man has to be liable to lose his job and title.

He may have the social responsibility to complete his signed contract that legally binds him. But he must also be held accountable and be liable to his actions. He must deem himself unfit to portray the Olympic Spirit and resign, as a responsible human being. #KeigoOyamadaMustGo

Finally, my uncensored literal translation of #KeigoOyamada’s own account in @rockinon_com’s interview from 27 years ago.
