[Tragic News] Mrs. GREEN APPLE's New Song Sparks Outrage with MV Featuring Columbus Civilizing Indigenous People Dressed as Monkeys

最初から最後まで全部アウト。
ちょっと酷すぎて、何から突っ込んだら良いのか。
事務所もレコード会社もこれ見てヤバいと思わなかったの？そもそも何でこの企画が通るの？
世界史を少しでも勉強した人が関係者に誰もいなかったの？https://t.co/HRMt8I8uDA

Everything is out from beginning to end.
It's a little too harsh, so I don't know where to start.
Didn't the agency and the record company see this and think it was dangerous? Why does this plan work in the first place?
Didn't anyone involved study even a little bit of world history?

This is gonna become global news in no time.

They probably don't know Columbus's reputation has completely flipped.

Making monkeys pull rickshaws is so insane that I kinda like it.

EXIT got bashed for just one line about Columbus, and this goes way beyond that. LOL

They're gonna get scolded by HQ for sure.

They lack both education and ethics.

This band doesn't even suit this direction, so why did they do it?

I thought it was just the usual noisy people making a fuss, but this is pretty straightforward. LOL

If you don't think this is bad in this day and age, you're seriously dumb...

This is seriously not okay. LOL
Why didn't anyone stop this at some point?

It's not even funny. LOL

If the song itself isn't the problem, can they just blame the MV director?

If the monkeys and these guys were on equal footing in the PV, they might have had an excuse, but they made them slaves. LOL

If it's meant to be ironic, it's well done.

And the media is openly writing positive articles about this...
What are they even doing...

Why are Japanese people so unaware of their status as people of color?

Is this going to be spread around the world as another common perception of Japanese people?

That's rock 'n' roll.

It's already bad from the thumbnail. LOL

Even if a staff member thought "This is bad...", there's no way they could stop it.

This is seriously messed up.
Did these guys not go through basic education?

Columbus was considered cruel even by the standards of his time, and they almost cut off his support. There's no excuse for this.

They're doing more punk rock than ONE OK ROCK.

Did they not research Columbus at all when making a song about him?

Well, if Mrs. fans think it's good, they should definitely spread it worldwide.

There's nothing scarier than unconscious discrimination.

I have a lot of songs I like from them, so this is sad.

These guys are well-known and probably asked a decent company to make the MV, and this is what they got?

Even metal bands wouldn't do this nowadays.

The fact that the title is "Columbus" makes it even less excusable, but also kind of bold.

People say it's strict nowadays, but this wouldn't have been okay even 10 years ago. Probably not even 20 years ago.

They probably didn't mean to provoke, but then why did it turn out like this?

Mrs. is a JPOP band with no rock elements, so the members probably didn't intend anything.

They've been on media non-stop lately, so they must be exhausted.

Is this the real Inferno?
