In Japan, people including music writers who have close ties with the
label I left are once again spreading false information about
Xinlisupreme. Many of them seem to be RYM or Bandcamp users. If you
think that playing or listening to underground music makes you
superior, you are wrong. Music is not an indulgentia (indulgence) you
can buy to prove your worth.indulgentia

I made Bandcamp private due to continued harassment from Japanese
people over Anime Hop. I’ve also started thinking about quitting music
and living freely.
It seems that the founder of Pitchfork added one of Anime Hop’s songs
to his playlist. Even so, Anime Hop still seems difficult for many
overseas listeners to understand. But I am grateful to everyone abroad
who understood me at least up to I Am Not Shinzo Abe.
My first crush was a Black anime character. I hope to see more Black
characters appear in anime. I also believe it is wrong for the hip-hop
mindset to dismiss white, Asian, or Vocaloid rappers as fake. That is
why I decided to create a form of hip-hop of my own.
Nowadays, people in the underground music scene around the world talk
as if they have praised I Am Not Shinzo Abe from the very beginning,
but in reality, when I Am Not Shinzo Abe went out of print ten years
ago, a Japanese label and many underground listeners directed their
mockery and attacks toward Xinlisupreme and the album I Am Not Shinzo
Abe. However, there was one person who stood up and fought against them
back then, and recently that person sent me a message on Instagram
saying, "I think Xinlisupreme's music is cool because it doesn't belong
anywhere."
I think I’ll keep making music a bit longer. I’m resuming Anime Hop. The new single will be released on Dec 5.
