My only response: Why, Tanihchi, why?!

Considering how Japan companies takes this kind of problem, there could be a chance of Madhouse not hiring Taniuchi for anymore projects... Which would make a great shame for Akagi Season 2 and/or Kaiji Season 3, if/when they happen, since Taniuchi's music for both shows were amazing.

Yesterday, I actually vocalised my hope that Mad House would rope Taniuchi into doing some of the music for the new HUNTERxHUNTER.

And as if by divine intervention...!

Why waste their tax dollars on this shit? Banning weed cannot, does not, and will not stop people from smoking it!

Also, Japan needs to stop that barbaric custom of blacklisting people for something as little as this! Why cling to such an outdated cultural practice? Ditch it and adopt superior Western values!

$110 for less than 2 grams? Seriously?

It's not even enough to make a nice joint.

The saddest part is that one of his homeboys snitched him out.

You don't need a whole farm. You could grow like four plants in a small closet and get well over 2 pounds, which could last months.

High grade weed would cost you that much in the US.

Japan is more tough with drug posesion and using, so is a bigger risk and therefore more expensive....
