Japanese pop singer Maki Otsuki was in the middle of a concert in Shanghai on Friday when her performance was abruptly cut short, her sound system was turned off, and the organizers ordered her to leave the stage.
Otsuki was never given a reason for the rude treatment, but it appears to be part of China’s escalating feud with Japan over Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae’s comments on Taiwan.
Otsuki was performing at the Bandai Namco Festival 2025 in Shanghai, an event dedicated to animation and video games produced by a massive Japanese entertainment company. One of her songs is the theme for the worldwide anime phenomenon One Piece, which was adapted into a live-action series by Netflix in 2023.
Otsuki was scheduled to perform on Friday and Saturday at the festival, but in the middle of her set on Friday, the stage lights and music were abruptly cut off. Two crew members hustled the singer off the stage. Her management company delicately attributed her mid-song cancellation to “unavoidable circumstances.”

Gaijin behavior...
China is utterly schizophrenic on this.
Chinese people like Japanese products, watch Japanese movies, listen to Japanese music, eat Japanese food, engage in a lot of trade with Japan and sell a lot of products to Japan, take vacations and study in Japan - all in pretty large numbers
And yet every couple years, almost like clockwork, there must be a government sponsored, top-down ritual bashing of Japan, to remind the Chinese people how much they should hate Japan.
They’ve long done crap like that, but I didn’t realize it was still or again going on.

I was just in Japan again the last 2-3 weeks and it was amazing. There were so many less Chinese then the last 2 times I was there in the past 5 years. Previously they were so rude about line cutting and being noisy. This time it was more like what I remember from the 90s and early 2000s.
My understanding is that the Japanese think of it he absence of Chinese as a good thing
Well in 1937, the Chinese thought that the absence of Japanese was a good thing.
Oh, definitely a move toward less foreigners the better is going on there. The news has been very interesting to watch the last few months and while I was there the whole Taiwain thing hit the front pages, and it was amazing to see them not backing down a single centimeter. First time I’ve seen that in forever.
I just stumbled upon something deep. All my life I wished someone invented tangle-free clothes hangers. For years and years I’ve been fighting with tangled clothes hangers. Pull one out, it’s caught on another and one falls. No matter how careful you are.
The magic solution? Segregation. When all the same hangers are together, there are no tangles and it’s so neat and orderly.
**every couple years, almost like clockwork, there must be a government sponsored, top-down ritual bashing of Japan, to remind the Chinese people how much they should hate Japan.**
Kinda reminds me of my days in corporate America. Stupid stuff would come down from the top with no other motive than to show us who’s boss. Same especially with the military. The lower level managers bore the brunt of the pushback. They basically dared us to quit every morning we showed up to work. With families to raise and mortgages to pay most of us did not have much choice but to put up with it.
Might explain why leftism is so attractive to some. Think about it while acknowledging some workers need a kick in the rear from time to time.
China is trying to economically harass Japan, since they elected a very conservative and nationalist Japanese Prime Minister. China’s economic harassment of Japanese interests is directed at her.
This is 100% the behavior of the old Chinese emperors when they were the top dog in Asia - bullying was alone enough to get the surrounding nations to cow tow to the Chinese emperor.
No one should make excuses for these rotten scumbags the policy should be that we want regime change in china.
That’s what all these pigs like Putin and Xi really fear they know that if their own people ever get loose they will end up hanging somewhere.
And we waste our time listening to them pontificate about Taiwan and all the supposed Injustice done to poor communist dictator china.
Meanwhile you see what heavy-handed creeps they are.
First time I’ve seen that in forever.
......
me too. that’s real news.
chinese may have jumped the shark.
