Hirai Masaya from Beppu (Japan) and Jan Kosyk (Germany) merge together to form the Beppu Punk Cats. An explosive mixture of political content and emotional songs in English, Japanese and German.

Wohlstandszaun (Text by Tobias Schöne) Record Release Concert at KURUKURU Beppu on April 11, 2025.

Accompanied by guitar and piano, the expressive voices explain why Alex expropriated the bear, how to get Nazis out of the house and why people are more important than borders. And while the two use my pen to write the odd lines of music into the listener’s ears, they talk musically about melted ice cream. Just as if they were sitting in the sun – with a beer in their hand – in front of the next late-night shop.
