I will grant you that. But if they were smuggling/carrying date rape (which is the current thinking) drugs through Japanese customs, they certainly made it free and clear. This type of entrant ("entertainer short term visa" ) to the country of Japan should get triple scrutiny if you ask me--PC be damned, any American Hip Hop/Rap Group and their entourage at Narita Airport, coming in with all kinds of gang "tats" and probably with an attitude of my "s" dont stink, I'll do what I please now that I am over here--should get twice of what the TSA gives US WWII vets, if you ask me. I hope the profilers in the Japan Immigration Agency as well as Tokyo Metro police get a clue over this. There has always been some level of crimes, drugs, rapes, etc. in connection with may US rap/hip hop groups which come to Japan and play these dank clubs, then carouse Tokyo till all hours of the night making asses of themselves, tarnishing the USA image, getting in fights and what not. Enough, say many Japanese and many foreigners here as well.
