Isn't Japan extremely socially conservative?
Some Asian countries also have a weird thing for Hitler.

Thanks for sharing. Also wtf.
In many ways yes. Japan has its own brand of racial superiority which is why I just found it a bit weird they're going for nazi shit. It could also just be that they heard and liked a song, but I kinda doubt that this is the case.
Japan is conservative in the sense that anyone that isn't Japanese can go get fucked. How many Japanese neo-nazis are also multilingual to understand the lyrics? This seems less like nazis in Japan and just people who found music they didn't hate.
Japan literally has rising fascist movements that want to bring back Imperial Japan, I think it's fair to say that they know what they're listening to.
