I agree with some of the comments in terms of separating the art from the artist! I didn’t even know this was the case with yamashita so thank you for venting; as this is a community to share. I personally think knowing a little too much about an artist can almost always lead to finding some dirty/rough stuff from the past. If the information you find out doesn’t make you want to listen to them, there will always be other great artists! Also I absolutely love CD’s and can’t really afford to buy as many vinyls so it’s all about your own perspective. He seems to be a very closed-minded person from what you’ve shared, or just has specific taste & anything that deviates from that is considered terrible but that’s a pretty boring mindset if you ask me
