According to the Japanese wiki, he's a fascist. Sadistik 04:25, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

As that is a controversial designation of a living person, I removed it from the article per WP:BLP. Does the Japanese article have a reliable source? Can you include it here? Skomorokh ^incite 17:58, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

He has a political history as an anti-authoritarian. That doesn't correspond with fascism at all. However, as I read some sources, he has labelled himself a fascist. The site warewaredan.com (his personal website, according to Wikipedia) claims "Anarchism + nationalism = fascism". According to ja.wiki he originally saw himself as a left-wing activist, but after his prison sentence turned to fascism. However, even if he labels himself a fascist, it doesn't necessarily mean he is it (maybe part of his provocationism). I think people may be too occupied with giving him an ideological label. He seems to be primarily an anti-establishment activist, not really a politician or having a clear ideology. I added some more information but it should be carefully checked by somebody with a good knowledge of Japanese. There are more references in the ja.wiki article. --Sasper (talk) 02:53, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Political prisoner?

In the video about American elections, he claims he was a political prisoner for two years. Is there truth to this? Who was he imprisoned by, and for what? LordAmeth (talk) 11:53, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

His music?

I understand he experimented with different types of music. If he's characterized in the article as a street musician, it should explain what kind of music he has produced. Can anyone find references for that? -moritheil^Talk 09:32, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

He is possibly more of an avantgarde musician than a street musician, but I am not too sure about it, so I didn't change anything. --Sasper (talk) 02:40, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
