Freakz’ Identity T-Shirt

I blacked it out because I thought it was cooler

———-Well, this is the second shirt for the Freakz brand.

It will be. And that means that this cruel picture is the one I drew.

———-Did you black it out from compliance?

Hmmm, I kind of hate the word compliance.

It’s a word that seems to be over-hyped these days.

I blacked it out because I thought it was cooler.

Nothing more, nothing less.

That’s why the cost is the same

———-So what about this version?

I thought it would be interesting to see what they are and what they are not.

For example, I only used the blacked-out logo on the album.

Stickers and stamps too.

But sometimes it comes out like this.

I think it creates a sense of premium that this guy is really a scary guy.

———-That’s why the price is high.

Yeah, that’s why the cost is the same.

Famous skits was called “Gorenjai”

———-Last time, you said you came up with the idea of a “man-eating” character, but was there anything else that inspired you?

Well, the first composition of eating a person came to mind, and at first I had it as “e” eating, not “a,” but it didn’t seem right.

So I re-composed it with “a” eating.

The image of the person being eaten is probably that one.

There used to be a TV show called “Downtown’s Gottsu-ee-kanji,” right?

One of their famous skits was called “Gorenjai”.

I don’t remember how many times it was, but Hitoshi Matsumoto appeared as a character called “Akarenjai-eater”.

The monster-like character had a big mouth on his stomach, and the body of the eaten Akarenjai was sticking out of it.

I laughed so hard my stomach churned, but I think it was definitely influenced by that.

If it’s not good enough, artists can’t express anything.

———-But nowadays, such extreme expressions tend to be avoided.

I guess “Akarenjai-eater ” would probably not be aired nowadays.

This cannibalistic logo was initially used on a Facebook profile page, but it was instantly frozen.

———-Frozen account?

Really, it was frozen in the blink of an eye.

Anyway, everyone is overly sensitive to extreme expressions.

But I hope they’ll at least forgive this cannibal logo.

If it’s not good enough, artists can’t express anything.

I understand that you don’t like this kind of thing, but don’t try to kill it off.

You’re doing the same thing as Putin.

———-Instagram and Facebook was brought under the jurisdiction of the same company, so be careful or you’ll lose your account.

…yes.
