Yo, you edited and it's just what I thought. Wtf! You hope some kid gets bullied? Are you listening to yourself?
Eh, no, dude. Being bullied in school was one of the worst experiences in my life, and it's frankly more vile in Japan because they know no one will do anything about it. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
That's my take! And my thing is that this article, even in an underground magazine, was around the same time he was popping and getting international love from the mid 90's to aughts, how the fuck this get buried but gets unearthed in goddamn 2021
After Yoshimistu126's failed attempt to an edit of a disgusting reply to still a disgusting reply, now watch his presence never exist in this thread again

Not really sure why you think someone should be bullied for the sins of their grandfather. Might want to rethink this.
And the Olympics committee is a ok with somebody like this representing Japan. Idk how long ago the shit he did to these individuals was and with how unsympathetic he seems to be (according to those tweets somebody posted from an interview from the 90s) it shouldn't be waved away or seen as "kids being kids".
What a vile, disturbing person.

I can't do that since it's been longer than 5 minutes since the thread was made. But I've made a report so a mod can do it.
I'm dying at you editing the post to this thinking it'll make things better.
he did fucking what.......?
thats one artist i've wanted to check out more that i now never will.
i dont like punishing people for dumb shit they did decades ago when they were young... but i mean, there are limits. totally psychotic torturous behavior goes waaaayy beyond dumb mistakes.

I knew Japanese bullying was on another level, but I wasn't expecting THAT. I can maybe buy that he's changed and feels horrible regret and all that, but apologies shouldn't absolve him of all responsibility for the horrible acts he committed, and he should not be given the spotlight like this.
Man, that fucking sucks. I used to really like his music, had no idea he pulled this kinda shit when he was younger.
Yeah he's in his 50s now but there'd need to be some real genuine reflection and action taken to try and right the kind of wrongs he talked about doing before I'd say he's not an asshole.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Downplaying concerns around a history of abuse, prior related ban
you can change a lot in 30-40 years... what he did was absolutely horrible, but we can't really judge who he is now based on such old events! Maybe he's still a piece of shit today, but you can't really know unless some things he said or did recently is still terrible
It's a shame he didn't get any consequence or that nobody criticized him and dropped him when he admited to it back then though

Parts of the magazine interviews translated

Seems there's translations of parts of the interviews here:

There's a bunch more in the link, but not all of it. The thing in Quick Japan seems to have been a 22 page article in all. There's a few scanned pages floating around if you can read Japanese too.

Even if you were to chalk up the (laughs) as nervous reactions, he's pretty callously dropping personal details about his victims, like physical information, and he's talking about it like he still thinks it's funny. The guy seems like a straight up psychopath.
When he says he doesn't feel bad talking about it and he's just speak to them as he did before, it doesn't sound like he genuinely wants to apologize or make amends.

Well he should definitely get punished for that, sounds absolutely terrible. I know Japan is very bad with mental health so maybe it was normalized so maybe it is a good idea for Japan to reflect on improving stigma against people due to this incident.
Just…ummmm….hmmmm
That translated article is kind of a sad read, and he definitely didn't feel an ounce of remorse

I only had a few altercations with bullies growing up but they were fucking milquetoast compared to this. Regardless, I still think about the altercations I had with bullies to this day. Not often, but it comes to mind when I'm feeling nostalgic.
Imagine going through this. You don't forget eating your own shit.

Fucking disgusting monster. I posted about this in the Japanese music thread a couple days ago, and I was really hoping some western outlet would pick it up. I want Oyamada completely villified. He should never work again. I've listened to Cornelius so much before now... what a completely out of nowhere sucker punch. It's been decades since the interviews, but he was an adult and completely remorseless. I have a really hard time believing he gives a fuck now, because he sounded like a psychopath then. I'd only believe he really changed if he revealed he spent the last couple decades trying to make things right and using a great deal of his time and money to assist his victims and disabled people in general. I get the sense he hasn't regretted his actions until now.
I can't see more of the Telegraph article, so I don't know how much they talk about, but here's the blog I posted in the music thread with lots of quotes from the interviews. It is really horrific, and I can't state that enough. You can use deepl to translate it pretty accurately into English if you don't know Japanese.

小山田圭吾における人間の研究 - 孤立無援のブログ
ミュージシャンのコーネリアスこと、小山田圭吾ですけど。 雑誌のインタービューによりますと、彼は、和光大学付属の小・中・高校時代に、いじめる側の生徒だったようです。 「ロッキンオン・ジャパン」（1994年１月号。編集長は山崎洋一郎）の小山田圭吾２万字インタビューによると。 「あとやっぱりうちはいじめがほんとすごかったなあ」 ■でも、いじめた方だって言ったじゃん。 「うん。いじめてた。けっこう今考えるとほんとすっごいヒドいことをしてたわ。この場を借りてお詫びします（笑）。だって、けっこうほんとキツいことしてたよ」 ■やっちゃいけないことを。...
Wait, why would you hope for more innocent kids to get bullied? That's fucked up. Let's not hope for that.
Off-topic to an extent, but I've always wondered if the Japanese high school experience as portrayed in their media is anywhere close to being real. Like the level of bullying portrayed is eerily similar to what he says he did.
I'd be interested to see if he's done anything recently in terms of atoning via charity work etc.

I've only seen some proper details in that Telegraph article, other ones have been more vague and focused on the apology, like AFP:
Olympic Opening Ceremony Composer Apologises Over School Bullying
A composer for the Tokyo Olympic opening ceremony has apologised after an outcry over old interviews in which he discussed bullying disabled schoolmates, the latest scandal for organisers.
Telegraph article doesn't go into more details than what I posted in the OP.
That blog you've posted seems to be the one that's been translated in that blogspot blog post.
Terrible and idiotic post, you're not on the moral high horse that you think you are. Completely gross.
What, a sorry isn't good enough for you?
I mean, he's sorry. That should be enough for doing this to another human being.
Oh, good. I didn't see the threadmark until now. May as well just quote that post in the OP so people are sure to see it.I've only seen some proper details in that Telegraph article, other ones have been more vague and focused on the apology, like AFP:

Fuck me, reading the interview was beyond heart-wrenching, what those kids had to go through by his hands. This motherfucker was clearly a truly, truly vile fucking sadist who admitted to torturing disabled classmates psychologically and physically and then still laughed about while describing it in detail years later. Fuck this goddamn monster and the Olympic committee.
1st off. LOL at thinking this edit is any better than what you wrote previously.
2nd, why stop at one grandkid. If this is your thought process why not make it oh I dunno 5, no 10. I mean, he bullied multiple kids. Really gotta make sure it balances out ya know. But then, what if he doesn't have 10 grandkids? And is 10 even really enough? If its just even stevens that's not really a punishment is it? Let's go 20 to really be sure and include great grandkids too, just to be sure we get all of em yeah. Good stuff.
So any chance the music community will tell him to go fuck himself? At least the international community. Then again, the Tokyo Olympics committee hasn't been the best about anything. They are actually trying to find a Ugandan Athlete who ran off after saying he wants to stay in Japan. Not to mention that they're having an honor system set up for people not to leave their hotels in Ginza. Apparently Athletes, theIOC and others are not doing Quarantine.
Not to mention the French Father who is on a hunger strike and is gonna meet with Marcon when he visits Japan. His wife (a Japanese citizen they married in France while she was there working) took their two kids. So he's been on a hunger strike to get the authorities attention on this during the Olympics.
This shit head on top of that, and s bunch of other political issues along with a state of Emergency set up. This is some level of BS that they can't at least replace this guy or at least say, we won't put his songs on official Olympics merchandise or something.

It is the same bullying you would find else where. Just couple bullying with a lot of studying and you get health issues.
Wow! Extremely disappointing, I was a big fan of his music in the 90s when Fantasma came out. As far as bullying goes, that is extreme behaviour against a vulnerable population, it's really beyond bullying. His age doesn't excuse the behaviour there at all.
