Junsuke Kita, pianist, Japan
... Shame on you Junsuke Kita Borbone ... you are a disgrace to the world of music ... you are a disgrace to the good Japanese citizens whom you are victimizing ... you are a very young man and you should know better how to invest your energy ... what a criminal you are!
Junsuke performed for us his own transcription of Tchaikovski's Nutkraker ... a terrible performance ... hower he claimed to come from a poor family and could not afford music lessons ... he was self thaught ... therefore we offered him the possibility to further his studies and to perform again for us the following year ... but then something absolutely outrageous happened ... he claimed to be the IBLA Competition Winner ... he forged documents ... Junsuke Kita assumed a fake name ... Junsuke Kita Borbone ... or Maestro Prince Junsuke Borbone of Sicily ... Prince Junsuke Peace Foundation ... thus starting criminal activities around the world ... we have records of it in Ireland, Russia, Crete, Japan, Malaysia, Finland ... under false pretense and false documents ... we have proof that he has even forged the signature of the Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and the signatures of Dr. Salvatore Moltisanti and Lady Dewi Sukarno ... along with a team of criminal accomplices such as the 'fake' Grand Duke Anatolii Vittorio Borbone and another 'fake' Grand Duke Sergey Nikolaevich Volkov of Russia and a 'fake' Finnish Grand Duchess Tarjia Vittoria Borbone ... they have organized 'fake' royal investitures and concert fundraisings all over the world ... preferred victims are chosen in the Osaka area, Japan ... we have reported these activities to the authorities ... if anyone knows more about this case please do not hesitate to report it to your local authorities and inform us if possible ... only working together we might be able to stop these international criminal activiteis conducted under the great spirit of classical music and peace ...
