Keigo Oyamada said he was ‘very sorry’ after embarrassing details of him bullying schoolmates resurfaced, but organisers say he will still contribute to the Games’ opening ceremony

Oyamada, who is better known as Cornelius, sparked fury on social media after reports resurfaced of magazine interviews he gave in the 1990s when he discussed, apparently without remorse, bullying at least one disabled classmate. Onlinein English and Japanese said Oyamada, 52, had forced one boy to eat his own faeces and masturbate in front of other students.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

This article contains false information. The source the writter showed is unreliable. Did you read ARAMA! JAPAN's disclaimer? It says their articles are 'not guaranteed to be true.' Only you and NBC used this UNRELIABLE blog. Others are more cautious. I sent my complain on this,

Please help everyone. Discrimination against persons with disabilities still exists in Japan. Since 1900, Japan has a law that locks in people with disabilities. And Japanese police are allowed to abuse people with disabilities.

Oyamada 'Whenever I played the guitar in the middle of the night in the hospital. Then,the electrocardiogram of the terminally ill patient beeped. When I was rejoicing 'whom died again' , the nurse was angry to me.'

I have to say that what disgusts me even more is that he bragged about it as a 26 year old. Obviously he was a very disturbed boy but to show no remorse as a man is so fucked up especially as his music of who I'm a big fan had a child like innocence which is now lost forever

Keigo Oyamada will be in charge of the music for the Tokyo Olympics ceremony. Japanese think, If Oyamada's music will be adopted, this mean is contrary to the spirit of the Paralympics/Olympics. Please coverage to expand this issue.

Ужасно. «Кейго Оямада, композитор Токио 2020, издевался над одним мальчиком и заставлял его есть свои фекалии и мастурбировать на глазах у других студентов.»

It makes me nauseous just reading this Guardian’s report. I believe this composer committed a crime, but he is trying to get away with it by playing it down. I’ve never listened to his music, and I hope that I don’t have to listen to it during the Olympics.

Don't be fooled by people all over the world. The Japanese are only blaming him for being reported by the Guardian. They do the same at school in primary education. Rather, a social system has been built in which oneself is at risk by not actively participating in abuse.

At the time of his debut, Keigo Oyamada was popular in Japan for his songs based on 'British music'. 'After the breakup of The Flipper's Guitar, he continued his activities as Cornelius. The first overseas report of this issue appeared in a British newspaper! Thanks.

One of the most shocking things is that he was in his mid-20's when interviewed, and said then what he had done could be described as 'crimes against humanity'(rough translation), but he did not seem to show much remorse then, so the public are sceptical he is truly sorry now.

The composer forced disabled to eat feces and masturbate in public. Is it just bullying? It is not what human being can do. Surprisingly the organizing committee seems supporting this kind of act.

Sincerely thank for your reporting and justice.

His severe abuses were deserve crime.But not still judged.Who is going to try this case

Including such things, the current Japanese government is rotten

Another thing Keigo Oyamada aka cornelius said. I made 3 tweets include this, these are just some of the things he did and said

I can't believe that he won't resign. It's absolutely unacceptable. CancelTokyoOlympics Tokyo2020 Paralympics

I want more people to know that there are many Japanese people who want to boycott him. Why did they appoint him? It's a mystery.

Tokyo 2020 is not started yet, but it has already many problems. After started it would have huge problems

No one thinks he really apologized.

This guy must pay the price.

US drug overdoses soar to record number in 2020, fueled by pandemicCDC data shows over 93,000 died from overdoses, a 30% rise from 2019, mostly triggered by pandemic-related stressors Fueled by the WarOnDrugs and the lack of regulations in the drug market. Just like when alcohol prohibition was in effect and booze was poisoned with methanol, heroin today is being laced with fentanyl to increase profits due to it's profitability compared to pure heroin. So, what this shows is that when mental health treatment is not made available , people will self-medicate. 3 things are necessary- more dedicated free NHS mental health clinics, more liberal prescribing, with extra monitoring, and tapering programs.
