Kraftwerk Live in Tokyo @ NO NUKES

Kraftwerk performs "Geiger Counter" and "Radioactivity" live in Tokyo at Makuhari Messe on July 7, 2012. This performance was part of the No Nukes 2012 music festival which was started by composer Ryūichi Sakamoto and included many celebrity musicians and bands. All of the event's proceeds were donated to the anti-nuclear group Sayonara Genpatsu of which Sakamoto is a member.

Here is a truly incredible photo of some Japanese nuclear protesters standing right up against the Japanese police. Notice how some of the protesters are sharing their umbrellas with the cops! Amazing.

Also today the independent parliamentary committee known as the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (FNAIIC) released a highly critical report which concluded that the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear disaster was “man-made” and the result of “collusion” between Japan’s regulatory bodies and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). This report also "blames Japanese culture for the fundamental causes of the disaster" and comes at a time when it could further inflame the overall distrust of the government and significantly empower the anti-nuclear movement in Japan. On Sunday, the Ohi nuclear plant was switched back on against widespread anti-nuclear sentiment and protests that continue in Tokyo.

North Korean Anti-Nuclear Postcard 1989

XXX Large Size

Recently discovered in a garage sale in Berlin, here is a very rare and interesting postcard from Pyongyang, North Korea in 1989. At that time, the "Eternal Leader" Kim Il Sung was in charge and the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union had just begun. This left North Korea completely on it's own and economic difficulties increased as Kim refused to do any kind of reform. Oddly enough, this postcard is anti-nuclear with the slogan "Do Not Spoil the Blue Sky!" prominently featured against the background of a mushroom cloud. It wasn't until 1994 when the DPRK started nuclear power research and production. The rainbow and white doves also indicate some kind of desire for peace and the multicolored hands show some hope for unity. Most likely the regime was really afraid of being attacked and/or nuked by South Korea at that time.

In a similar style of protest art first seen by Tokyo's Chim↑Pom‬, Japan's famous graphic designer, illustrator and film director Makoto Wada recently exhibited his own anti-nuclear poster. And apparently this has created quite a backlash within Japan's social media networks.
