I recently discovered a whole bunch of really good hardcore bands from Japan, for a significant part through a youtube channel called japandcrustpunk. Apparently there's a really good punk scene in Japan with bands like Nemesis, Azarashi, Acute (might be two with this name cause heard albums with female vocals and albums with male vocals), Fuck on the Beach, Death Side and Think Again. Anyone else know some more? And does anyone know whether there are any leftist ones? I don't know Japanese and can't find lyrics for most of them anyone so I honestly don't know what they sing about at all

I think The Stalin was sort of leftist (not stalinist though). Japanese punk in gerneral was never particularly political though.
