Beheading Video Shown at Rock Concert

(Urayasu, Japan) For more than ten minutes, a rock band named Klack showed a video of the terrorist beheading of 24-year-old backpacker Shosei Koda at a concert Sunday. It's not clear how many people expressed outrage, however, the sponsoring Tokyo Broadcasting System angrily stated it had no foreknowledge of the stunt and voiced apologies to all who were offended.

If the members of the group Klack believes that a beheading video enhances their concerts, just how bad is their music. Obviously, they're shamelessly inconsiderate of the sensibilities of the public and the family and friends of Shosei Koda.

1 Maybe if he'd shown stills from Nanking during the Japanese occupation the crowd would have been more sympathetic. Today is cheap shot day.

2 That's stooping to an all time low. The crowd shoulda booed and walked the hell out of there.

3 Showing this without warning is just wrong.

4 Incredibly disrespectful. And I agree, how bad could the music be to resort to a sick gimmick like that?

5 so much for the land of saving face. or maybe that was the point, at Shosei Koda's expense.

6 "If Klack believes that a beheading video enhances their concerts, just how bad is their music" As a matter of fact they were the WORST sounding band at that concert. Shows you how sick people will be just for some media attention. If it wasn't for the 11 other AMAZING groups performing that night, I assure you my friends would have walked out. - Kei -

7 Then again it may have made the terrorists a lot of young Japanese enemies. A wake up call they have never seen before.

8 Wow. How could Klack do such a thing? I feel Shosei's own countrymen have betrayed him beyond a point where there is forgiveness. Exploiting a young man's death? ``Congratulations`` to them for helping Zarqawi spread his message of hate! HAHA. The members of Klack have committed a terrible crime against Shosei, and they spit on Shosei on on Shosei's family. If i could be in a room alone with a member of Klack for 30 seconds i would pay like 50 dollars just to pulverise him and beat him senseless. People like these are the reason there is so much suffering in the world. selling your soul for a dollar! Oh well, all i got to say is FUCK KLACK.
