Some people have criticized the fact that the titles of his two albums were each quotations of Sai's slogans, but both were not Sai's first use of the words, but were English translations of some kind of old Indian saying. As this shows, most human words are basically reused or re-edited from someone else's words. Therefore, I think it is almost meaningless to criticize that point.
I totally agree with your opinion!!!!! People don't make a fuss about Japanese artists who sing Christmas songs, saying that they are forcing a Christian event on us😂😂😂 It’s ridiculous that only Fujii-style is criticized🤔🤔🤔
Singer-song-writers write their belief and theme of being. Artists express their convictions and faith through their perspectives. What's wrong about Kaze singing his belief and spiritual faith. I love him talking about the "higher self" as the ideal self and the goal that he should reach while he lives in this life. what a courageous thing to do as a Japanese since Japanese people seldom talk about their philosophy or belief in daily life.simply because they don't want to stick out. He is a rare case among Japanese artists. I want to celebrate his existence. It's none of their business even if he stopped Twitter and deleted everything. It's his decision. As he said we should mind our own business. Thank you, Kyou for sharing your idea! Great👍
Yes, people should come up with their own conclusions. I used to live in a country that has at least 6 religions. And I don't really care what he believes because religion never explains every aspect of the person who belives it. He never forces anyone to believe anything, it shows that he has respect for what other people believe, so I'm totally fine. Btw, there is one thing, I would like to point out. You said "many fans got upset" but I don't think they are that "many" considering the number of his fans, to be honest. In this modern era, we have the internet to search what those album titles mean. So it's a bit weird for me tp see some people insisting so hard he has been hiding.
What if we were slandered more severely than we could imagine, criticizing our parents, whom we respect more than ourselves, and writing things that threaten our family life every day? It's no surprise that you feel uncontrollable anger. It's a pity that many people who didn't know Kaze Fujii on this channel misunderstood his music and his pure heart after watching this clipped video. 私たちが想像するよりももっと酷い誹謗中傷を受けた、自分の事よりも尊敬するご両親を批判されたり家族の生活を脅かされるような事を連日書き込まれたら?それはあの短い言葉では到底収まりきらない怒りを抱いたとしても不思議じゃないです。このチャンネルで藤井風さんを知らない人達が、切り取られたこの動画を見て彼の曲もピュアな心を知りもせず誤解する人も沢山いた事がとても残念です。
I like Fujii Kaze's music message even if some are based on Saibaba's ones. However knowing accusations against Sathya Sai Baba by his critics, I had mixed feelings. I cannot separate Saibaba's excellent messages from his actions being criticized. Is it correct to focus on the bright side only?
Well said. Seems to me that Kaze's a simple guy. He doesn't anger easily and when asked when the last time he got angry was, he couldn't answer. So I'm guessing anger isn't a feeling he's used to and when he feels it, even if he doesn't necessarily blow up, diplomacy isn't going to be something in his repertoire since he wasn't brought up in an environment with deep social complexities. He also doesn't appear on media a whole lot and hasn't been asked a bunch of sensitive questions when he does appear (his limited exposure and extreme talent meant that the media people afforded him a lot of respect) so I doubt he's media or PR-trained either. And truth be told, I'm not sure if I want him to be, because that would mean losing part of his innocence and authenticity, which are things I think we all love about him and hope he can keep as much of as possible. Anyway, I think this whole thing is blown way out of proportion. Fans would usually just walk away if they feel disappointed by musicians or actors that they like (not that Kaze did anything to disappoint anyone but people are gonna feel what they wanna feel) so I'm not sure why it's only Kaze that they seem to insist should cater to their sensitivities when, if he does, he won't even be Kaze anymore. I know people are extra sensitive now due to the whole Abe thing but it's really not very fair to criticize him for who's he's always been because of that and it's really unreasonable what they're asking for when it's a free society and we're all thinking adults here. Still, this is a complex society we live in where worse sh*t than this happen everyday and like it or not Kaze himself is now a part it (he's no longer living in the sheltered place where he grew up in) so I'm kinda hoping Kaze's management will find someway to resolve this without infringing on Kaze's freedom (since it's what fuels his creativity) and, at the same time, allow for others to realize that they should be thinking for themselves. Edit: Apparently, some really mean and uncalled for things were directed at him on Twitter, not just people asking him to refrain (which in and of itself is hypocritical and offensive enough), which is why he got understandably upset and seemed to be restraining himself from letting out his anger.
