Easy way to not have people make fun of your death is to not be a complete piece of shit your whole life.
Well he sure didn't when it came to the DG game I purchased and played.
Our only mission in life should be to act as agents of kindness. Make the world a kinder, gentler place. Respect the emotional makeups of others. Love people for who they are, and only take a stand when they hurt others.
You don't need to be rich or famous to be that agent of kindness.

Good riddance. Dude's a legend, but he's been dead weight for such a long time now. He's been phoning it in for almost 20 years now, with each game relying more and more on arrangements of his old work. Then his abhorrent views were made known to me, and my already dwindling respect just hit rock bottom.
Thanks for the DQ6 symphonic suite. You won't be missed.

Would you be writing in RIP letters to newspapers when Hitler was declared dead after the bombing of Germany? That's an extreme example, but there are truly terrible people in this world who deserve to have their death celebrated and if you don't believe that, you're just naive, in denial or posting in bad faith.
I don't like celebrating death so I won't. That being said, this man is horrible and I won't feel bad that he bit the dust.
He had years to learn not to be a piece of shit yet he continued to do so. Hopefully whoever is doing DQ is better than him. As a person.
He died doing what he loved: Holding on to the music rights of Dragon Quest til' the very end.
Seriously, I don't care what people think of his musical contributions to the genre or which songs in Dragon Quest you think slap; Sugiyama was equal parts draconian in his grip on the music rights to Dragon Quest and heinous in his denial of war crimes (of which he's lobbied to try and remove the teaching of Nanking, among other war crimes committed by Japan) and rampant homophobia. His legacy is largely marred by his own actions and I see no reason to try and qualify how I feel about Sugiyama biting it.
Rot. Burn. I don't care which happens to this monster.
Underappreciated post that deserves to be seen on a new page.
Imagine standing your ground for Sugiyama of all ghouls, jfc. Some of ya'll need to go back to GAF.
If that's all you have to say, why do you even waste your time posting here. I think I saw you post this exact same thing in another thread. It doesn't make you look like the smart guy here, pal.
I imagine during human history whenever a monster of a person finally died there was one guy in the crowd telling everyone to feel bad.
As somebody who only got to play the OG PS4 version of DQXI, I don't know what people liked about this guy. I sure understand the dislike for him though. And now he's dead. So it goes. If only his ugly ideas would die with him.

I just want to add that... I'm reading tweets from Japan and from the rest of the world about this and I've never seen my Twitter timetime sooooo different in my life lol. Is like two different planets.
Like the guy was making it his mission to make LGBTQ+ people a living hell and was denying war crimes to hurt a lot of people.
Some of you really need to understand who the fuck you are batting for.
Similarly, most US presidents out there have ruined lives and killed a lot of people. Are you gonna stop people from celebrating when the ones that ruined their lives and created misery are dead?
