Simon Wiesenthal Center Urges Producer and Sony Music to Apologize over the use of Nazi-themed Costumes by Japanese Girls Group, “Keyakizaka46”

October 31, 2016

The Simon Wiesenthal Center expressed its disgust over the use of Nazi-themed uniforms donned by a girl’s music group “Keyakizaka46” at a recent performance in Japan. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3873790/Japanese-girl-band-cause-outrage-dressing-NAZI-style-outfits.html
“We are calling on Sony Music and the group’s producer, Yasushi Akimoto to apologize for this inappropriate and deeply offensive presentation,” charged Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. “Watching young teens on the stage and in the audience dancing in Nazi-style uniforms causes great distress to the victims of the Nazi genocide.”

“This is a time when the Simon Wiesenthal Center is struggling against increased anti-Semitic attacks and burgeoning online hate around the world. Even if there was no harm intended by the group, that performance cheapens the memory of victims of the Nazis and sends the wrong message to young people in Germany and other countries where neo-Nazi sentiment is on the rise. We expect better from an international brand like Sony which has caused embarrassment to Japan,” Rabbi Cooper added.

Rabbi Cooper, who will travel to Japan in November for the opening of The Courage To Remember: The Holocaust 1939-1945 — The Bravery of Anne Frank and Chiune Sugihara Holocaust exhibition in Okinawa, urged Sony Music, Mr. Akimoto, and members of “Keyakizaka46” to visit the exhibition.

Background:

The Courage To Remember: The Holocaust 1939-1945 — The Bravery of Anne Frank and Chiune Sugihara was jointly organized by the Soka University and the Simon Wiesenthal Center and is based on the SWC’s educational exhibit, “The Courage to Remember.” The new version of the exhibit focuses on Japanese diplomat and hero Chiune Sugihara as well as on the life of Anne Frank. It provides a compelling historical account of the Nazis’ murderous campaign in which 6 million Jews and other victims of the Nazis were targeted and killed between 1939 and 1945, according to organizers, and uses documents, photographs, items which belonged to Holocaust victims and other rare objects to tell the story.

〇Group, Keyakizaka46, wore military-style black capes and peaked caps
〇Fans have taken to social media to discuss resemblance to SS uniforms
〇It's believed that the similarity to Nazi clothing was purely coincidental

A Japanese girlband has caused outrage after their outfits for a Halloween concert were compared to Nazi uniform.

The group, Keyakizaka46, performed on Saturday at Yokohama arena in Japan wearing military-style black capes with wide collars. They also wore peaked hats featuring a bird symbol akin to the formal Nazi symbol of an eagle atop a swastika.

While video footage shows fans screaming in adoration of the band - whose young members range between 15 and 21 years old - others have taken to social media to share their disapproval of the girls' choice of attire.

Many saw a strong resemblance to the uniforms worn by Nazi soldiers in WW2, sharing pictures of the girls posing in their outfits alongside black and white images of SS soldiers.

Some, however, thought perhaps the clothing choice was nothing more than a publicity stunt.
'This is shock marketing,' one Twitter user commented.

The band has yet to speak out about the comparisons being drawn but it is believed the semblance to Nazi uniforms was nothing more than a coincidence.

Keyakizaka46, which has 22 female members, was formed in August 2015 as the sister group to fellow girl idol group Nogizaka46.

Both groups were produced by Yasushi Akimoto, a well-known Japanese record producer, lyricist and television writer.

As of yet Keyakizaka46 - who sing J-pop music - have only produced two singles both of which reached number one Billboard Japan Hot 100.

How old are those girls. 13? They look about 13. They look incredibly thick as well. But what else would you expect in Japan.

This article tickles me. The girls are described as dressed resembling SS uniforms. Would it make a difference if they wore real German uniforms, absolutely not. If such things didn't offend those who actually fought against the Germans, or the widows of those who died fighting the Germans.Some people just like to be victims and create industries out of others experience of being a victim.

Why does nobody get outraged when people in Japan dress up as the Imperial army that rampaged and raped their way through China, Korea and other parts of Asia? Remembering Nanking?

The German uniforms of that period were very smart and stylish, especially compared to the cheap rags our soldiers wore.
