The British-Japanese pop star Rina Sawayama has expressed her frustration that her debut album was ineligible for this year’s Mercury prize because she does not hold a British passport, Vice reports.
Welcome to Ingerland
Did you say she’s inedible? Bit stringy perhaps?

Japan doesn’t allow dual nationality, therefore it's Britain's fault

I don't get it. She made a choice not to be British but to live there. She stays a Japanese citizen to be close to her family but chooses to live thousands of miles away. She's not British, so she's not eligible. We all live with our choices. She's lucky to have so many.
Sawayama is in the lucky position to have the choice of 2 x passports. She chooses the Japanese one over the British one. But she wants the benefits of both countries. There are some people in the world who would be extremely happy just to have access to one of those passports.

We've scaled the height of ridicularity.
who cares, don't know if you've noticed but your continued fear porn means this country is in a right state. The first world problems of a musician are not real world problems. you should donate to me and keep critical thought alive.
Isn't she only Japanese though because Japan doesn't allow dual citizenship... There have to be rules for regional awards/prizes & she falls outside of these ones.
She's one of the most talented artists out there and has been living here for years. Deserves better.
