This isn't something that only Japan does however. No doubt you could find plenty of examples of Americans (or whatever country you live in) borrowing and disrespecting images from another society or religion.

AHS really is not the place for such a discussion though. If this thread doesn't get back on the topic of Gackt's new release it will end up being closed.
I couldn't agree more.

And there is a huge difference between someone listening to J-Pop or a sushi restaurant opening and someone taking important religious symbols that are supposed to be sacred and using them as fashion or to be ~trendy~.
