As a fan of the Lion King. Was thinking Takumi’s theme song could be to Hakuna Matatata. Something like “football poetry, attacking philosophy, Takumi Minanna. ”.

Clearly going to be the muppet shows “Minamino do-do-do-do-do. Minamino do-do-do-do” and repeat 😂.

The muppet show song used to be McManaman's song. Someone cleverly suggested "I think I'm turning Japanese". got to be.

Should probably leave his ethnicity/ race out of the song. I’m not saying you were being racist or anything, it’s just some could see it that way, especially with a crowd of thousands singing it.

TJ - I’m not aware of any pushback on Egyptian King song so why would there be any issue with turning Japanese lyrics?

Best we stop singing the song about our Egyptian King too them, TjRed.

I'm not sure how referring to a Japanese person as 'Japanese' could in any way be construed as racist. 🤔
We sing about Mo Salah being an 'Egyptian king', I've never heard anyone suggest that could be seen as racism?

should be an automatic ban for people suggesting songs on here. Please implement this rule Ed.

I'm assuming you guys don't know what the song 'Turning Japanese' is actually about?! I doubt our new signing would be too impressed if he found out :D.

unfortunately turning Japanese is mostly remembered for the eye gestures that's why.

I'm still disappointed that the Kop haven't adopted Navigator by the Pogues as Naby Keita's song. That would be so class.

Honestly I’m not of the mindset it is offensive at all, but I’m sure some snowflake will be. That’s all I’m saying.

The image of a bunch of white guys (the band) singing "I think I'm turning Japanese" would be an eyebrow raiser these days lol but yeah I personally don't think this is one is that bad but that actual song would be lame imo lol

Also, why do ya'll only ever make reference to the ethnic background of the 'foreign' players? haha, like ya never hear a song about the anglo-saxons crusading and canibbalizing their way across the middle east hahaha

I like the link to the Despacito song. The crowd can mumble very loudly the rest of the lyrics like the rest of the chants!

The tiniest amount of research, Stoneage, would explain that is an urban myth and there's nothing negative (or Japanese) about the song at all.

When people call something racist when it obviously isn't, it makes me wonder if they've ever been offended by racism.
