It doesn’t need to make sense for rightwingers, no matter what the country is.
Takaichi is popular with Japan’s right wing for her staunch anti-foreigner stance.
Yet she is constantly fellating an orange foreigner on the daily

It’s like how western ultranationalists often love Japan and are weaboos. I guess in Japan they are Anglophiles lmao.

You do everything at your job you said you’d do during your interview?

Deep purple is perhaps the most loved foreign hard rock/metal band in Japan. They really like the blackmore style of guitar playing

me too! Although I gotta admit I've listened only to the Dio-era. Still, what an era it is: Stargazer, A light in the Black, Tarot Woman, The temple of the King, Sixteenth Century Greensleeves, Catch the Rainbow (+ that sweet JoJo reference), Gates of Babylon...and literally EVERY song in those 3 albums...I could list 100 compliments, so I'll summarize: **THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.**

No one is America thinks of Led Zeppelin as heavy metal except 80-year-old Mormon ladies.
It's Classic Rock.

It's hard rock. Classic Rock isn't a genre, lol.

If it sounds hard it's because you didn't blow the dust off the vinyl.

You are incorrect - I am an 80 year old Mormon *man*. My comment is in the context of '70's and '80's and I ***am*** older than you !!

Seems like a omen when this band shows up in headlines with a world leader around Q1. See below article from 2008:

They’re pretty big in Japan. They did the boss song for Blue Dragon (a Dragon Quest spiritual sequel)

That one dude from Hunter x Hunter had an ability he named Deep Purple. It makes sense to me that their legacy in Japan is larger than I understood.
