What’s up with the German flag one with the Japanese flag on top of it? World War II runner up edition?
There was this really weird moment in the late 80's and early 90's when both Germany and Japan were really "cool" for some reason. The Berlin wall had fallen, Japan was becoming well known for cool, futuristic electronics, and heavy metal was becoming big in both countries as well. It's a weird mash up, but it sort of makes a little sense for the time.
