If T.M. doesn't want to be a politician, then he should be respected for that.

Can you picture any Japanese performer today who might make a good politician?


Dunno if he's a good politician, but pro wrestler Hiroshi Hase is in the Cabinet

Glad Takanori declined. He should do what his heart tells him.

Just let the man live! If he doesn't want to do politics that's his decision. Let him stick to making great music.

Eriko Imai, former SPEED member, is in politics. And facing a scandal involving a married man (or not-yet-divorced, anyway)...

What would make him stand out as a politician anyway? Is he outspoken for a particular sect of politics or something? Was wondering why a particular political party would approach him...

If T.M.Revolution doesn't want to get involved into politics, he doesn't have to jump in. He should just worry about making good music.

If I was running for American President, my stance would be a very unique one among candidates. It would be addressing issues with American copyright. So, it would be addressing the issues of the retroactive copyright length and even copyright restoration, to call out corporations and estates that advocate for such practices, to expand fair use rulings, and to emphasize Creative Commons.
