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.
