My birthday is on the 25th November, and I can't tell you how irritating its been my whole life to have to hear "Oh yeah, that's the day an acclaimed 20th century Japanese novelist took his nationalist politics and passionate love of Japan's cultural heritage one step too far, assembled his own private army onto a military base and held their commandant hostage in a vainglourious attempt to return sovereignty to the emperor and recapturing Japan's "national essence", before swiftly being rejected by the self-defense forces and commiting seppuku"
So sick of hearing it. People with their birthdays on Christmas have it easy.
