I agree with Tsuyoshi. What’s wrong with being naked?
It’s unfortunate how in Japan (and other Asian countries) celebs lose the right to do their job for something like this. It’s not a “real” immoral crime..unless he also attacked someone or tried to sexually harass someone. No one was harmed in his nakedness! ..In America talentless Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Mel Gibson, etc..have even more publicity and still work in films despite the things they’ve done in the past. And their acts are far worse!
When I read this story Tsuyoshi Kusanagi became my new hero. “WHATS WRONG WITH BEING NAKED?!?!” Let this be our rallying cry!!! XD I feel sorry for the cop who responded to Mr. Kusanagi. But you know how the media is. Have to make a big deal about every little thing. It’s not like we don’t all get so drunk we black out and strip nekkid and rampage around public places screaming at the top of our lungs. Yeah. Seriously though Tsuyoshi Kusanagi really is my new hero. This guy is so chill that when confronted by the cops for being nekkid all he has to say is, “whats wrong with being naked?” Like up yours cop I’m nekkid and I don’t give a shit! That’s too cool for school.
