HEAR ME OUT: odasaku and tsoi parallel.
viktor tsoi is a legend of underground post-punk, in the 80s he was literally the voice of a generation. but i'm not gonna give you a whole history lesson right now, because my goal is just to explain where i found the parallel.
he had his own core values, and based on them, he wrote about the world around him, about its pressing issues. for him, rock music was a perfectly natural and organic form of self-expression. according to him, "only you and your conscience are your chief critic and censor." and this position wasn't something to flaunt. it was something that simply needed to be lived out.
in hard times, largely deceitful and cynical, he was the one who managed to preserve in his art a vibrant life, individuality, a rejection of conformity, and a protest against pseudo-values...
most of his thoughts expressed in interviews were along the lines of:
"all of us changed, and not always for the better. life goes on. but in this process, we have to lose something, to make sacrifices... honestly, we sacrificed too much."
"someone can think of themselves as whoever they like, but that doesn't mean others will see them that way."
if you still don't see the connection, you should definitely listen to his songs, feel the vibe and look up the translations.
p.s. i could tell you way more about the band kino, but i wanted to focus on him as a person.
