The Disappearance of Nipponia Nippon: An Internet Mystery
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Today we’re looking into a Japanese rapper who created one single in the late 90’s before going completely missing. Nipponia Nippon disappeared so suddenly that even his producer does not know his whereabouts.
Nobody knows to this day.
Lets looks into why this happened and where this talented attist could be today.
The LP can be heard here: • ニッポニア・ニッポン - ニッポニア・ニッポ...

thx this video for my county's culture🙇♂️
Dirty Blood is a song about drug-induced AIDS, and Lazy Man is said to have sung about the realities of homelessness.
As for the blog that appears in the latter half of this video, Nipponia Nippon describes her disappearance without receiving her fee in the middle of the recording session.
He is rumored on the Internet to have taken the choice to end his life on his own.
It used to be in the 100 yen record section, but was later reevaluated.
Thank you for elaborating on this information! Japanese is certainly not my first language and I really appreciate the comments I receive from those native to Japan!! ☺️
I had a recent music searching experience. A friend had found a 'song' called Kigi wa Haru, but there were no lyrics. When i tried even looking on niconico when i put in the japanese writing of '木々は春 -友川カズキ' only two videos showed up. One that was the video my friend showed me and the other was a lyric video of sorts there were two songs on it and the picture weren't too bad but did put me off. When googling the japanese writing I could only find three websites with Japanese lyrics (no english translation) and two of those sites were blog posts and the other had different lyrics. Finally had someone who lived in japan help translate it and they told us it was some old poetry due to dialect. I just find it weird how sort of obscure this was considering the artist had other songs more readily available to find.
I just searched "木々は春 友川かずき" and tons of results showed up. Maybe you didn't get many search results because you had "kazuki" spelled in katakana instead of hiragana? I looked at the lyrics, and although they are poetic (as most song lyrics are), they're written in pretty typical Standard Japanese. Very good song though!
@@mattvsjapan thanks! I think it was because i was using romanji at first and then just using the writing from the one video we had i didn't think Katakana would've affected it too much but I guess it did. As for the lyrics even translated they're a bit strange. As for the poetic part, it was because we had someone in Japan and who was fluent in Japanese translate and that's what they told us.
After 1year btw this is my definition of tomokawa kazuki.

Probably irrelevant to the mystery itself but fun fact, "Nipponia Nippon" is the scientific name for the Crested Ibis! In Japan though, their common name is トキ.
Super interesting, considering that at the time, the ibis was endangered in Japan. They went extinct in 2003, but Japan is collabing with China to repopulate them. I did find that Japan used to consider the ibis a pest to their rice paddies, so Nipponia Nippon's songs about being sick and a burden seems on brand.
My theory is that Nipon went to a studio session with Far, did a track or two and went “Yeah this might not be for me”, and just dipped with no warning, either without paying Far for the session or just not getting paid for the two tracks he had laid vocals on
I’d love to read a full translation of those two songs. The second song manages to have an impact that even Google translate can’t tarnish.
Have you used DeepL?
"Dirty Blood" and the distaste for the medical profession, gave me an almost instant idea.
HIV, it's a song about someone with HIV/AIDS, at least that's what I think, a VERY Taboo subject in Japan, to the point where I think the artist himself later succumbed to this.
Great video (as always)! :)
About the lyrics; maybe they (Niponia Nippon) were using "dirty blood" as a reference to being hafu or burakumin? Burakumin (and okinawans to a certain extent) /are/ discriminated by Japanese as "lazy", "useless" and "stupid", and as somehow "less" than the """pure""" (bleargh, eyes rolling back into orbit) Japanese. That would fit thematically with the 2nd. song; job discrimination (compounded with the other sorts thereof) meaning that no matter how hard one tries, they'd still be seen as disposable at best and useless at worst.
I mean, imagine being discriminated not only because of your origins, but maybe also because of some sort of illness? Being treated as disposable, so also as a "study subject" for medical purposes, since they wouldn't be "as dignified or important" and thus not deserving of proper care. That'd be pretty rich in polisemy/layers of meaning, and doubly so in suffering :(
BTW, I'm of Japanese/ainu/okinawan descent, and have some memories of nikkeijin here in Brazil long ago (late 1990s or so) referring to mixed descent people as having "dirty blood".
Do you think that means the song is autobiographical in nature? If Niponia Nippon is a hafu, Okinawan or burakumin then the songs could have his way of expressing his frustrations at society. Of course this is just my theory based on your comment. I hope he’s around and has found fame despite any obstacles he had to face. If we had a voice sample and compared it to other J-Rap singers maybe we could identify him. He deserves some recognition no matter what.
@@mirandagoldstine8548 I don't really know, but I guess it's always possible that it is biographical in nature, or at least that's my hunch; thematically it might fit, haha; but the idea that it might be about depression also fits; it could be both, it could be none. Since I'm not fluent in Japanese I wouldn't risk affirming anything ._.
@@mekarum True. It could be possible it’s able the depression he feels due to be isolated by society based on his ancestry. That’s just my thought.
Yeah I sorta thought this might be the case too...
Sad, though not especially surprising to hear how much discrimination Japan has against people I’d consider ethnically Japanese... most of what get covered in the West is the attitude towards foreigners and people of mixed race.
Cool you have such diverse Japanese ancestry, though! The Ainu in particular I find fascinating...
It’s important to note that most of the early Hip-Hop scene was based around Yoyogi park and they were heavily influenced by Run DMC and the Zulu Nation. This is around 1987. The furyo that hung around there were yanki / bosozoku types and they did a lot of coke and heroin according to DJ Yutaka who I met a few years back. Hip-Hop (in the late ‘80s) was actually a positive influence, and it got them out of the destructive cycle, but I’m sure gangsta rap influences brought the drugs back in the ‘90s.
Hope that bit of context helps :)
Yutaka actually toured with Ice T and Rhyme Syndicate, which had a lot of influential rappers like Everlast from House of Pain, and when he first came to the US spoke very little English. By the time the tour was over his English only improved by profanities and copious use of the N word. It was funny listening to him speak in English because it’s still very hood, but when he speaks Japanese it’s much more formal.
This is incredibly fascinating! Thanks for sharing this!
@@SakuraStardust Thanks for reading! Thank you always for the well put together content!
@@dooshmasta Thanks for that insight, way more informative than the video, I have tried to find clips or documentaries on the early Japanese rap scene and their personal experiences in English but no luck. Hard to locate good stuff like that. If you know anything good like that lmk !
@@sipsdrewshin9169 Most of this account is from the book "Can't Stop Won't Stop" by Jeff Chang (which I coincidentally read travelling in Japan in 2007), but I was also in a global fraternity founded by Hip-Hop pioneers which is how I got to talk to Yutaka when he was living in Los Angeles a few years back. As far as I know, that book is the best source on the beginnings of Hip-Hop in Japan (in English)
The second lyric track "namakemono" or lazy person is a song about the hardships of surviving in Tokyo city as a homeless person or on the brink of homelessness. The chorus describes how he wants to break free from that way of living. Though he wants to put effort into escaping from the homeless lifestyle, there are many hardships. He is frustrated about his situation, but also understands why society might perceive him as "lazy" and a waste of space. To me it sounds like a helpless plea, but I also sense a sliver of ambition to improve oneself.... Music can be strange and wonderful at the same time.
Your videos are soooo good! The effort you out into your videos is very evident and it’s amazing! Ur so underrated
Thank you so much
I know we don't have enough information to make a decent guess, but I think he just dipped. The fact he left mid recording and that "no payment" comment makes me think he didn't pay some kind of fee the recording studio was charging him. Maybe there was a misunderstanding and didn't know he was supposed to pay to record his music (or the amount, or maybe he thought he could pay them after the recording was done and the album was on sale), or maybe something happened and suddenly wasn't able to pay it, so he ghosted everyone. Either he gave up music after that or is still making music under a different name (which would be a ballsy move considering the previous recording studio knew who he was). Just because his lyrics dealt with very depressing subjects doesn't mean he was suicidal. There's plenty of musicians that make music with similar themes and they're just fine.
Personally I think they might be autobiographical in nature. Japan was, and still is, quite xenophobic in nature so if this rapper was an outsider, whether Okinawan, Ainu, hafu or even a burakumin he might have vented what he felt into his lyrics. Of course I can’t take credit for this theory. A previous commenter on this video suggested it. I’m just adding the possibility he might have Ainu ancestry if he wasn’t a native of Tokyo. The hopeful part of me suggests he is still alive and is still active in the entertainment industry, perhaps not as a rapper but maybe as a voice actor but the pessimist side of me thinks he might no longer be with us.
I personally find the theory of blood disease to make the most sense, thanks to the lyrics. This theme could also tie the two songs together; “I’m sick, I hate doctors, and I feel useless to society”. I think he may have written these songs to cope with AIDS or some other blood disease, panicked at the realization of what he’s doing (lots of these diseases have stigma around them), and decided to back out last minute only to pass away due to health complications, hence why they could not reach him. It’s also possible he was not writing about his own experiences but experiences of a friend or family member, in order to cope. It’s possible that this friend/family member passed away mid-production which explains why he left so abruptly. Perhaps the pain was too much, so he never went back to finishing the track..Hopefully I’m wrong, and he just wanted to be angsty and then decided that it was dumb and went back to his normal life.
From what other commenters have said, I *hope* that these songs were meant as commentary on the state of the scene at the time, which seemed to be very grim. From the lyrics Sakura shared, though, it seemed like the artist knew he had a blood borne illness but didn’t know what it was as tests were inconclusive. Maybe in the course of making the album, the doctors figured it out? If so, it could have been better, or worse than what the artist expected as an outcome, which might have led in either case to a change of heart midway through production. Well, that or they didn’t have the money for the recording fees, and realized this most of the way through production (maybe they originally had the money, or thought they would have it at some point, but something happened and they had to skip out on the bill?)
If the latter is the case, maybe they didn’t go back because they couldn’t pay the bill, and never figured out that, surely, their royalties would cover it at this point.
All speculation of course, for all we know this person was a perfectly normal, rather promising rapper who one day in the middle of recording stepped out for a smoke and got hit by a delivery truck, and woke up in another world...
Love hearing mysterious Japanese stories love this one thanks sakura stardust.
ギャラ = appearance fee or payment made to artists, producers, etc., for specific creative services rendered. Different from 印税 (royalties), and not the same as what a label would pay its own artist, so I don't believe this is about Nipponia Nippon receiving or not receiving payment. (Although I'm sure they've never been able to pay him any royalties or cut of the record sales either since he went missing...) Nipponia Nippon probably should've been the one who paid Farr/Calm for producing the record, as he was most likely the one who commissioned the work, but Farr/Calm wasn't able to receive this compensation after Nipponia Nippon disappeared.
Necessary disclaimer: I'm non-native, but I do a lot of music-related translation and this was how I read it.
I just listened to the album via link in the description & my GOD this is some PHAT Boom Bap. Wish he was able to release more music like this, such good beats
really do feel the intensity on the dirty blood track. So much anger and sadness... Judging what he says in the lyrics
(illness that came in overseas) probably he contracted AIDS the health system at the time most likely didn't know what to do...😰
The underground rap scene tended to be more dark, nick named “Karato-Kei” (spoken word) and “aishuu-Kei”(melancholic). The overground music tended to be more positive.
"Nipponia Nippon"
This is like an American rapper naming themselves "Americana America"; either they're extremely patriotic or they're really bad at lying.
I think its the scientific name of a bird
@@platinumpotatochip8612 Yes, the Crested Ibis (Toki in Japanese), which is found in East Asia and was gravely endangered a few decades ago.
@@soko4710 I thought the whole point of scientific names was to make things _less_ confusing between regions and languages. Givingg a bird the same name as a country sounds like a gag you'd see in a Roadrunner cartoon.
@@soko4710 interesting!!!
"This is like an American rapper naming themselves "Americana America"; either they're extremely patriotic or they're really bad at lying. " Given the biting social commentary of the lyrics, I very much doubt they were patriotic, it seems more like a cynical satirical leaning to me.
Part of me thinks the track dirty blood could be discussing frustration with having a lesser known condition or illness and being constantly screwed over by the medical system. Doctors just writing it off as several idiotic conclusions and when they are actually getting tests done they yield no results which causes more poking and prodding by medical staff. Maybe he or someone he loved had these problems and he had to suddenly vanish because of things related to it.
Can I just say, your delivery has improved so much! You sound much more confident in this video, keep it up!
Music producer here. I assume Calm is referring to not getting payment for the music production/recording that he did for the artist. That is what it sounds like to me from context. This is sadly a pretty common thing to happen to music producers, especially ones just starting out, so it's not at all surprising that it would happen to Calm at the start of his career too.
That said, if they don't know anything about the guy and he just dipped, it's almost certainly also true that he never got any money back from record sales either. That's pretty obvious.
Sometimes the lack of proper research on stuff like this on the Japanese side of the internet is frustrating. You'd think they would have more thoroughly asked Calm who the guy was or like just any information, but oh well I guess.
It’s so funny to see this still popular as I found this record on UA-cam and was obsessed. The record still holds up
I can clarify on “the payment was never received” it basically translates to Nipponia Nippon disappeared before he could get his paycheck. He probably didn’t even receive a single yen for the music sold
The album is honestly really good, the three instrumental tracks especially
I hope this one goes viral too! Your videos deserve the attention. Thanks for another great one!
Makes me wanna record a random guitar solo and sing, burn it onto a cs and then spread the CD round town to see if people will check it out
This is one of the best channels I’ve come across in a long time!
I theorize that he might have been in a gang or yakuza. Considering the lyrics about the medical system and blood (maybe doctors couldn’t save his injured friend) and the song about being lazy (maybe he didn’t put in enough work for the gang and felt useless) also he just disappeared in the middle of production so maybe the was an issue and he never made it back
on this note he could have been in debt to the yakuza relating to health issues considering the lyrics. the whole "he never paid" thing seems incredibly fishy to me.
@@rowboatmiami pulling a Crater on the Yakuza? Interesting.
The blood disease theory does make sense with the lyrics and could explain the sudden disappearance. I'm kind of leaning toward that being the answer.
M. Mekru has suggested it refers to hafus and burakumin due to the stereotypes surrounding them. This has lead me to theorize he might be half Japanese or else a burakumin. The song could be interpreted as autobiographical in that nature as Nipponia Nippon could be voicing his frustrations over a society that is xenophobic in nature. Apparently the term dirty blood and the medical experiments could be referring to the treatment of hafu and burakumin as below Japanese. I hope he’s found success as a musician and is in a better place, still making music that makes you question everything.
@@mirandagoldstine8548 That would make sense too, it just still leaves the matter of his disappearance up in the air. That's the main reason I lean towards the disease theory. Especially if it was HIV/AIDS, there was so much stigma and misinformation at the time, and it was pretty much a death sentence. So he could have either gotten too ill to continue with his music, or he could have stopped due to fear of being outed and facing the reaction from society. On a lighter note, nice Nico Robin avatar.
@@LaydiNite Thanks. Yeah it could be possible he had AIDS. To me the lyrics seem autobiographical in nature and metaphorically focus on his feelings towards a xenophobic society. However I’m not fluent in Japanese exactly so I can’t tell. If he is out there still hopefully he started a new life outside Japan, in a place he wouldn’t see quite as isolated as he felt in Japan.
@@LaydiNite I'm with you on the blood disease personally, as there was a scandal in the 1980s about the Japanese government bringing in blood products that were tainted with HIV and infecting hemophiliacs. There was a lawsuit in 1989 and is known as the HIV tainted blood scandal. Nipponia Nippon may have been in the 40% who were infected this way and in the song specifically, he calls something "the disease from overseas". Japan had a high stigma of foreigners carrying HIV as well. There are mentions of needles too, so another possibility is that he was doing drugs with a friend, shared a needle and contracted HIV. That could explain why he sings that he can't trust anybody. In the second song, there is mention of "blue fruit", at least according to a translation I found, that gave him a lot of dreams, in addition to wanting to be the corpse at the station. There's a lot more to allude to homelessness. While I want to think he's ok, I really do fear he is gone.
I only know so much about Japanese Rap and its history in general, so this was actually a really cool introduction to a topic I'd love to learn more about. Thank you!!
My japanese is very barren but I personally understand 汚れた血 being about drug addiction.
I catched many topics of succumbing to illness, medication withdrawls and being as paranoid as your relatives you left behind, plus I understood 怠け者 as being about having nowhere to go, not even being able to couch surf and the feeling of not having anyone, or anywhere to go once you are deemed unwanted.
Maybe the two tracks talk about drug addiction and how many the japanese society is built around not paying attention to drug addiction and homelessness?
Although this is on my on scattered understanding of it all, it is genuinely hard to parse the meaning and structure of the sentences but it seems like a coherent message and something rap music addressed since its beginnings aswell.
Could do a story about the Japanese mysteries the monster of 21 faces.
YESSS
I've considered it, ngl!
@@SakuraStardust I actually have a theory on that case and it is inspired by Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train.
for anyone searching for the nipponia Nippon full album here it is ua-cam.com/video/p7SdZZ4gv1Y/v-deo.html
It probably won't popup since the name is written in Japanese
Based on the excerpt of the second track I was wondering that maybe... the song is about substance addiction as well? Hence why it mentions something such as "injection" & blood being "unclean". Just my hunch, though.
I really like where your channel is heading, keep up the good work ❤️
LoFi HipHop (beats to chill/sleep/work/study to) is drenched in JRAP heritage and I love it. Please make more about the JRAP scene it’s not covered on UA-cam really. I know it’s a bit out of your style but it’s not to far off seeing all your content is about Japan :) actually that sounds like a channel I should start haha.
I’m looking forward to part 2 of the “do not search iceberg”, that being said please take as much time as you need to work on it/ get it out on to UA-cam, I enjoy your content so much that I would wait forever for it! I loved this video it was very interesting! I did not know much about J-rap (especially the early-ish days) before watching this video.
I noticed you had a spike in subs recently and saw that your iceberg video went viral! Good job Sakura! :D
Thank You!
UA-cam algorithm does its job and shows me another great channel.
Did you maybe narrated some Blameitonjorge of Tats video before?
Your voice sounds sooo familiar.
been waiting for the next vid, these vids are real fun to watch looking foreword to the next!
First song is about AIDS. I recommend "The Domestication of AIDS: Stigma, Gender, and the Body Politic in Japan" by Joanne Cullinane.
8:41 idk I don't feel an unhappy vibe with that instrumental
I truly liked this video, keep on the amazing work.
👍💕💕💕 🎶🎶 good stuff! was lookin forward to this vid. also the record, has a very Menhera vibe.
I believe the mention of no payment is for studio time. To be in a studio that isn't yours you obviously have to pay. So it's most likely Nipponia Nippon just left the studio without paying for Calms studio time.
This mystery was definitely an interesting one. I still can't believe it only sold for 100 yen. Btw, I like the stack of plushies you had in the background.
14:50 Kuro-ovi is the main MC of キミドリ. Real name Keita Ishiguro, you should try and listen to their songs! The vocals of Kuro-ovi are very similar.
Oooooh, okay! I was a little confused since I saw people say both Kimidori and Kuro-Obi separately :o Thanks!
Well that’s the things with 90s rap. Back then rap had meaning and messages in it. And the messages are usually not happy.
This sounds like Dir en Grey lyrics, damn.
It do be that way tho 👀
I’m assuming that “he hasn’t paid yet” means he just didn’t pay to work with Far and the studio that they recorded in. Recording studios generally expect you to pay for their usage.
honestly.....I think the Lyrics sound like he was saying he has either a terminal illness.....or HIV
Yay! New video! I love that u cover music mysteries such as this one. Great video and I also can't wait for the next iceberg video~
I LOVE YOU AND YOUR CONTENT SO MUCH!!
Loved the video. Thank you.
Edit: if anyone wants to listen, someone uploaded the entire EP here, ua-cam.com/video/p7SdZZ4gv1Y/v-deo.html

This music is very calming to me.
Dirty Blood by Nipponia Nippon is a certified hood classic 🔥👌
i wonder if nipponia was keyed into what seba jun / nujabes was working on at around the time - that sort of lo-fi hip hop that was so ahead of it’s time.
Nipponia Nippon is a Band, not a rapper,
Nipponia Nippon is made by 2 vocalist 1 main Vocalist, and a other one, like a back vocalist,
A Bassist, Pianist, Drummer
If the man actually disappeared before paying any fees, did CALM or the label not file a police report?
Met Dan the automator a long time ago when I was spinning records overseas
He disappeared I wonder, he definitely sounded very troubled.
Dirty blood is about heroin for sure... that's probably what happened
Love the outro, sounds funky
I really think this artist was struggling with drug addiction. That ties together the homelessness ideas, hiv/aids, and dirty blood/needle themes
Didn't know they had a whole underground Hip hop scene over there. I'd love to see what other music they made at that time, looks intresting.
Damn, that took a dark turn
I wonder if the needle and dirt blood in the first one doesn't relate to drug abuse?
also I always call 2chan Nichan, as Oni-chan it always made more sense to me but idk if thats the right way either😅
also no need to rush on the "don't search" video, the quality will speak for itself and the algorithm will be sure to find you again \o/
I wish music was preserved better
at least the mystery of the sample of 怠け者 is solved :) ua-cam.com/video/HzoWINK7qrQ/v-deo.html
not part 2 of forbidden search terms but.... @21:45 my bad
good video tho, hopefully they find him. how do the japanese handle rap battles? if it were an anime, there'd be body counts or talking dogs. do you think their rhymes were fire enough to mistake for being in violation of their weapons laws? im giving you a lot of leads here.
good work, keep it up
Lmfao rapper shounen when
@@platinumpotatochip8612 his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, there's vomit on his yukata already, momma's curry
deffo watch that anime tho
holy shit its produced by Calm
yay a new video!
What an awesome and interesting mystery!
What is it with Japanese artists that make one fire track / album and then vanish? First the lady who made Love Trip and now a J-rapper
Wake up son... a new sakura stardust upload has arrived!
this one was really sad.
Strangely, the species name/noun-phrase "Nipponia Nippon" seems to have been a watchword in Japanese experimental music circles, particularly in the '80s and '90s: It was the title of the first track on the rather unsettling 1987 album Mammalia by the duo of Sakevi and Jojo, respectively of the extreme punk/metal band G.I.S.M. and the noise collective Hijokaidan; while Nipponianippon (all one word) was the name of an early project by the psychedelic rock guitarist Makoto Kawabata, later of Acid Mothers Temple, which was active in the mid '90s. Perhaps this is merely a bizarre coincidence, but I think it's at least interesting enough to point out. Not sure why so many marginal musical figures had this bird on the mind at the time.
I bought the lp off discogs when Dante thenu posted the music last year. Maybe vybe music will reprint the vinyl since more people are interested now. Tainted blood makes me cry, you can feel his emotions through the music. Other people gave excellent theories. I personally believe he is likely dead by now, if he didn't die around the time he recorded.
I guess from Google translate, I got more of the idea that medical malpractice led to him being infected by accident. If he was a burakumin/hafu dealing with homelessness or drug addiction, he wouldn't have been someone the doctors would really care about admitting their mistake. But that may have been me mistranslating. I like the burakumin theory someone else posted better.
Another theory of mine is he got caught up in some secret eugenics thing. He made a record about it as a sort of expose, but perhaps he got spooked at the thought of discovery (Yakuza or hired private investigators may have been able to find his real name from the record company) and he vanished before he could be apprehended.
I notice for the tainted blood song, the two verses seem to cut off rather abruptly at their ends. It's a bit eerie and kinda fits the whole mythos of him disappearing suddenly while recording.
havnt listened to some new j-rap in forever ty for pmo
you had me at avaiable
thamk you
A sacrifice for the algorithm
the outro track sounds alot like an outro song to a tv show, maybe its supposed to be the outro of the artists life?
Wait, have you showed your face before on UA-cam!? You're super pretty, and super jealous XD
Anyways, keep it up! LOVE your content!
I used to a lot more years ago ^^; Thank you so much, though!!
like the face cam!!
Love it
You still got my attention 👀
This was indeed quite the tale
at 13:09, as funny as the spelling is, it says "suidcide," just to let ya know
ugh theres always one type D: Thanks lol
Is this the same person as redbard? She sounds exactly like her
This just made me think is there any drill rappers in japan
Reply is for notifications
If there are drill rappers there, there seems to be a lack of drilling there
is Creepy Nuts a drill rapper
@@stang9806 that is true
most likely yes since korea has their own set of drill rappers. drill has really went international
At this rate we’ll have all the do not search iceberg videos by January 2023 😭😔
My goal with that series is one tier per month :p
It could be possible that they are dead
If the blood disease or suicide theory is true, then its unfortunately likely that they’re no longer alive
J-Rap is straight fire 🔥
dope
Lets goooooo
Oh damn.
