I knew it all along! I mean, it's the worst-kept secret in Japanese music. Gabriela Robin is actually Yitzhak Rabin!

The woman's got balls, plagiarizing a PM's name along with all that music. Respect.

Maybe it's a cultural thing I'm missing here, but I don't understand what the article is even about. Is there something I'm just not understanding or not getting, because I'm more lost after I read the article then before.

Hardly a hint when she's actually stated it was him all along. Rolling Eyes

Yoko Kanno was Yitzhak Rabin? Because Gabriela it's a girl's name, you know.

People are still accusing Yoko Kanno of plagiarism? Please.

Hilarious, I see this news just as I'm listening to "Velveteen" off the first GITS:SAC OST. xD

But yeah, haven't people speculated for years that she was Gabriella, and one or two of the other female vocalists that "guested" in her songs? Just gives me more reason to love the woman, honestly.

I love Yoko Kanno's music, starting back from Macross Plus. I'm surprised there's even still some mystery surrounding the "Gabriela Robin" name.
