• ... that the first line to STU48's "Hana wa Dare no Mono?", which imagines a world without borders, is often misheard as wishing for a world without Tokyo? Source: "A number of people have been saying that the part sung "If borders disappear from this world" sounds like "If Tokyo disappears from this world," and a number of people have been posting on social networking sites that they heard it wrong and found it "provocative," "shocking," and "too much hate for Tokyo". A record company official pointed out, "People who were wondering who was singing the song are searching for the song and listening to it again as if they were trying to find the answer to the question."

  • ALT1: ... that Hiroshima-based group STU48 released the song "Hana wa Dare no Mono?" ("Who Does The Flower Belong To?") in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the threat of nuclear war? Source: "This message song was created in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in February. The song was entrusted to STU, which is based in the A-bombed city of Hiroshima, amid the rapidly growing threat of nuclear war in the world." [2]

Converted from a redirect by Petewarrior (talk). Self-nominated at 17:37, 13 July 2022 (UTC).

• A day late is standard and fine for this, so I will accept. Otherwise new enough and long enough redirect conversion. No citations on plot is acceptable. (The first paragraph in Reception doesn't technically end in an inline citation, but it contains two within for the two charts.) AGF on the Japanese-language sourcing: the translations would seem to support the hook claims as well. No textual issues. Strongly prefer ALT0 over ALT1.
