DTR - Voices from the Dead (Taiji Sawada's 11 minute epic)

[adropofcolor]

Great vid but PLEASE change your description. He was murdered. He did not commit suicide. Please show him the justice and respect he never got when he died...

[theindiefanclub]

@adropofcolor He wasn't murdered... He hung himself and then turned into a vegetable.

[KoreaxxLove]

@theindiefanclub That is very hard to believe seeing as his birthday was the next day AND Taiji had many health impairments...Meaning, I think it would be really hard for him to climb anywhere to be able to hang himself. He couldn't even jump with the other members of X at Yokohama...

[theindiefanclub]

@KoreaxxLove You don't need to climb anywhere. No jumping is involved. Quit trying to glorify it and turn him into some kind of martyr, you're just bullshitting. Who the hell would have tried to kill him? The prison and the police said it was attempted suicide, and then they pulled the plug to stop him being a vegetable. It's more respectful to just let him rest in peace, and stop making crap up.

[KoreaxxLove]

@theindiefanclub The police there have a long history of police brutality--especially towards Asians. Look it up.

I'm NOT saying that it wasn't suicide. I'm simply saying that I find it hard to believe. Who knows? Taiji could have had an epileptic outburst, and they could have done him in during a struggle.

EVEN IF that didn't happen, it should have been noted he was epileptic and needed special care elsewhere. They are at fault either way as far as I'm concerned.

[theindiefanclub]

@KoreaxxLove But just because there have been incidents of police brutality doesn't mean this is one of them. This is a celebrity death; it has been investigated thoroughly. You know what else there is a long history of? Japanese committing suicide. Look it up.

There was no reason to "do him in" it's an insult to people to think that they would do that to someone for no reason; he had committed a crime and was going to be tried. And at the time, restraining him so he didn't hurt anyone else

[theindiefanclub]

@KoreaxxLove Was the main priority. His health would have been considered after his first hearing when he was not in temporary care. Do you really believe all the doctors, and investigators, and his family, and the police are ALL lying about this? I find that hard to believe.

[KoreaxxLove]

@theindiefanclub His health should have been considered immediately. If he had been in Japan, they would have treated him with more respect....

I think it's a possibility the police lied about it, and no one else knows, yes. Not that everyone is lying...Just misinformed.

[theindiefanclub]

@KoreaxxLove Not if considering his health put other people at risk; a normal person who had assaulted a flight attendant wouldn't have people waiting on him hand and foot just because he had epilepsy, and Taiji isn't a celebrity in America. And why would the police even do it? There's no motive there. To them he's just another dude who got a little crazy during a flight.

[KoreaxxLove]

@theindiefanclub I know that's how they treated him and that he wasn't a celebrity in America--but he should still have been treated as one. He should have had more care (and this goes for everyone) because of the epilepsy.

Why did they do it all the 50+ times in the last decade?

[theindiefanclub]

@KoreaxxLove There would have been reasons, they didn't kill people in jail, and they certainly didn't do it to look like suicide, it was brutality. The kind of people that did that wouldn't try and make it look like a suicide and lie. What you're talking about is police brutality. Beating a dude up on the street is very, very different to hanging someone in a jail cell.

And no, he shouldn't have been treated as a celebrity. People should all get the same treatment.

[theindiefanclub]

@KoreaxxLove And there's every chance that he declined the extra provisions if he had suicide on mind. They didn't even necessarily know he had epilepsy.

[KoreaxxLove]

@theindiefanclub He wouldn't decline extra provisions. He wasn't in the right state of mind to, even if he did.

I'm well aware of that.

[backfire1853]

RIP Taiji! Never forget you!!

[inknsk]

One of the most under-appreciated musicians of our generation. He lived an extremely hard life, but never swayed from his true passion. His legacy must live on.

[AkuKira]

RIP Taiji..♥♫

..with hide, forever in our hearts.. ♥

[InnerBetrayer]

Taiji, gracias a ti me hice bajista hace ya 9 años... es tanto lo que estalla dentro de mi que mis lagrimas son tal vez la única forma en que puedo explicar esta enorme tristeza que hoy me invade.

Algún día habré de superar esta infinita perdida, cómo encontrar la manera, es una ardua tarea; cómo renombrar la memoria y su efecto es una labor un tanto lujuriosa, pero no dudaré un solo segundo sin recordar.

Gracias por ser una de las razones que me llenaron de felicidad.

Descansa en paz.

[LktXimena]

At least you'll be again with Hide. RIP

Rip Taiji

[rizikm]

It makes me happy that, at least once, all of Taiji's talents joined in one perfect song.

He was a true rocker from beginning to end. R.I.P. Taiji.

[AsianDramasRule]

Taiji, I love you forever. You are the greatest bassist and guitarist ever. Forever love. Thank you for all the great music. May you rest in peace and rock with hide!! Look over your fellow band-mates, family, friends from Heaven. Bless us with your smiling face. Forever love...
