Year recorded really 1988?[edit]

The infobox states this song was recorded in 1988, but the description of the song under it says that it was written about his dissatisfaction with the media, particularly mentioning his 1993 child sexual abuse allegations. Was it 1988, or was it 1993-1994-1995? ToQ100gou! ToQ100gou! Shupatsu Shinkou! (the chitter-chatter) 04:35, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
