Kusanagi-gate: A Catchphrase Will Set You Free

Japan's already catchphrase crazy media culture can add another one to the list:

What's Wrong With Being Naked?

The slogan has already been transferred to t-shirts and is selling quite well, according to Reuters.

Club T can probably take all of those profits for themselves as Johnny's is unlikely to ask for a piece of the pie, because it just wouldn't look right. (They are in ignore it--and ignore Tsuyoshi--mode at the moment.)

Meanwhile, Tsuyoshi gets all charges dropped (even with a blood alcohol eight times the legal limit)* because the police felt he was sorry enough...and he has fans rabid enough that they would threaten to attack the station and bust him out.

Happy May Day.
* and I still think he had some additional chemical aid.
