Though I'd say it's also their frustration at Japan's depending on the West, and a simultaneous inferiority/superiority complex - they are expressing themselves through a genre that originated (at least partly) in America, after all. ;)
As for fearing their retaliation - to be honest I'm more worried about Japan destroying themselves than attacking anybody else.

i agree. Alot of angura kei bands have this "nostalgic" feeling towards pre-war Japan, and quite a few of them also seem to have feelings of dislike towards western culture. Another example that'd fit in is 大日本意識革命軍狂暴, whose patriotism probably overthrows that of most other angura bands
and yea that whole "OMG SO GREAT" thing is pretty funny
He was influenced TREMENDOUSLY by Kyo. In every CD by Merry, the "Very Special Thanks" section always lists Dir en Grey. This guy (Gara) also used to be a roadie for old visual kei Dir en Grey, Kyo gave him a makeup kit.
<< Kyo is Gara's idol.

Dir en grey and Kyo is the one big thing that got Gara into Visual Kei and all that. Becouse he was a rodie to Dir en grey under the Missa tour in -97. And Gara thought all of the band members (dir en grey) looked really scary. (his is real from an intreview with gara i read somewhere)
