Pineapple Bashed By Swedes

In April 2009, the Japanese pop star Hideki Kaji was beaten up by Swedes while dressed as a pineapple. Mr Kaji, 41, was shooting a music video in Malmo when he volunteered to guard the camera equipment while his crew sloped off for a break. Three muggers busted his lip, knocked loose a filling, and made off with 20,000 kronor’s worth of equipment, leaving Mr Kaji unconscious and with his street-cred in tatters. Mr Kaji’s hits include “My Favourite Tofflor”, “Suddenly Sibylla” and “Ramlösa”.
