			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I recently learned that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiyoshiro_Imawano">Kiyoshiro Imawano</a> died last May, from a cancer at age 58. Most people outside Japan don&#8217;t know him, but he was a very famous and very controversial pop singer. He was unique, talented, funny and sometimes engaged.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He is famous for his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1hNnPoX_Jg">punk version of the Japanese National anthem</a> Kimi ga Yo, that became banned and can no longer be aired on Japanese media. That reminded me of Gainsbourg&#8217;s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLq7EcvRaf0">reggae version of La Marseillaise</a>, very controversial too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What I want to share today is a song about North Korea. To a US audience the part about world peace may sound a bit cheesy, but you have to understand that how Japanese people hate North Korea. For most Japanese thinking about friendship with North Korea is just insanity, and this is truly a courageous song.</p>
