Japanese pop star dressed as pineapple beaten and robbed

Pop star dressed as pineapple robbed
Three men in Sweden beat up Japanese singer who was filming videoSTOCKHOLM - Police say a Japanese pop star dressed up as a pineapple has been robbed while shooting a music video in southern Sweden.Police spokesman Bo Paulsson says three young men beat up 41-year-old Hideki Kaji and robbed him of camera equipment worth around 20,000 kronor ($2,500) late Saturday.Paulsson says the pineapple-clad artist had been left alone with the equipment while the camera crew went for a break. He was left with a cut lip and lost a dental implant.A longer article is here -> http://www.thelocal.se/18680/20090405/----I love Kaji-kun and was shocked much when I read this... but I admit it made me laugh a little. orz I never expected he gets popular worldwide because of this funny but terrible incident and not his music. (>_<)For those who do not know him, he is a shibuya kei / swedish pop artist since the early 90's. Recently, he contributed in the live action of Detroit Metal City (he sings in movie's start and negishi's and tetra-pot melon tea singles).

Maybe those guys hated Spongebob Squarepants & when they saw him/her they mistook him/her for Spongebob's house so they beat him up.Sorry, just a dumb thought.

i really wonder why do he dress up as a pineapple in the middle of the night..... it cant be a video shoting since they have a place for the actor to change.

well, maybe he was asked to guard the equipments while the crew took a break, Union rule of some sort. and maybe it was low budgeted and they cant even hire some place to store those cameras and even a decent security.

Just out of curiosity, who else finds it strange that you dress up as a pineapple in public?

That's why my Spongebob reference, because I too found it odd, eccentric or even deranged at best.

It's still dumb on both points-dressing as a pineapple...people make enough fun of people of people in suits-but the dude should have been on a closed set!As for the robbers-I hope the union for costumed actors come after you guys...To think a pop star, no matter how obscure, no matter what time, no matter how old gets this crap!But it does prove my dad's theory in life-the japanese have a warped sence of fantasy...Not that I'm worried (continues watching Takeshi's castle, while "maximum the hormone" is played).

What did Spongebob do to those Swedish guys?

I lolled. XD

what next mcdonalds dressing as a clown.

too dumb. he was already a clown when he was a child...

The popstar will never record on that country again.
