News Presenter Mr. Yamanaka: The Russian Baltic fleet that left the Baltic Sea in September, 1904 for Japan has just entered Japan's territorial waters near Tsushima Straits today. The Sea of Japan battle will begin any time soon.  Ms. Tashiro. Will you present our breaking news in detail?

News Presenter
Ms.Tashiro: Since our Imperial Japanese Army for the first time exchanged fire with the Imperial Russian Army on February 8, 1904, our army has been achieving brilliant military results in Port Arthur, Houten, etc. on the Liaodong Peninsula. Our victory will become almost certain only when the Russian Baltic fleet is destroyed in the Sea of Japan. Now, we will be getting the latest report of the Russian Baltic fleet movements from our reporter Mr. Ebata now at Tsushima Straits.

News Reporter Mr. Ebata: As you can see now , a large formation of warships is moving toward us.　It appears that there are 40 battleships in the formation. But there is also a report coming in that a total number of the enemy ships are 38. We have not known any details yet. Our Imperial Japanese Navy fleet looks moving in formation with a majestic appearance.

News Presenter Ms.Tashiro: Mr. Ebata, we have just received a report saying that upon the」confirmation of the Russian Baltic fleet passing through Tsushima Straits by the Imperial Japanese Navy, our Admiral Togo has wired a message to every battleship under his command. Do you have any idea of what his message says?

News Reporter Mr. Ebata: His message reads "Weather is fine but waves are high today." Our naval fleet look ready to fire at any moment. I am Ebata reporting from Tsushima Straits.


News Presenter Ms.Tashiro: Thank you very much for your report. Whenever you have any new development, please report to us. What does Admiral Togo's message mean? Mr. Yamanaka.

News Presenter Mr. Yamanaka: The message sent by Admiral Togo can be broken into two parts. The first part is "Weather is fine.", suggesting that since visibility is good, we can clearly observe the movements of our enemy ships. The second is "Waves are high.", meaning that our battleships are expected to demonstrate better maneuverability than the Russian ones do because our formation is smaller compared with the Russian one.

News Presenter Ms.Tashiro: If our naval fleet wins this battle. what will happen then?

News Presenter Mr.Yamanaka: It will be an epoch-making event because no Asian and African races have ever won a battle against the white race in the modern times. So, our Imperial forces will achieve the first victory over the white race since the colonization of Asia and Africa began. Not only  the Empire of Japan will be joining the club of major powers but also India and Southeast Asian states now colonized by the western powers will gradually resist their domination. This is a kind of picture we can see now.

News Presenter Ms.Tashiro: Many of the colonized Asian and African states may seek their independence from the western colonialists if the great achievement of wining over the Russian empire is made today.


News Presenter Mr.Yamanaka: That's right. So, I sincerely hope that our Imperial Navy will defeat the Russian Baltic fleet.

News Presenter Ms.Tashiro We will interrupt our regular programs and report any new　developments whenever they come in. The whole world is now watching this event and Japan.

Note: The above is only a tentative translation of what's being reported. Please contact The Imperial Headquarters of the Empire of Japan for more precise information。

 

South Koreans seem to have stepped on a photo of Anne Frank

On March 1, 2014, South Korea held anti-Japan rally in Seoul, during which some Koreans seem to have stepped on not only PM Abe’s photo but also a photo of “Anne Frank” for unknown reasons. Her photo found on internet seems so identical with the one Koreans have stepped on. For confirmation, please watch the attached video of the rally

Defacing “The Diary of a Young Girl” at public libraries across Tokyo

 

Some suggest that defacement of about 300 books  (The Diary of a Young Girl and other related books) seem almost impossible at libraries across Tokyo where quietness is required unless someone inside is involved. Defacing of the particular books seems to be very systematic, possibly indicating involvement of a well-organized group  and/or some international plot to impair the image of Japan by intentionally relating Japan to the Nazism although Japan has consistently denied the Nazi’s racial discrimination practiced against Jewish people before, during and after WWII.

In the recent years, South Korea has employed every possible means to fabricate a story that Japan was as brutal as Nazi Germany during Japan-Korea annexation despite every historical evidence denying such a Korean claim as being non-sense. Therefore, many regard it as “grave distortion” of historical facts and dismiss it just as a huge political manipulation.

107 books (written by members of Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform) were destroyed by librarians not in accordance with discarding criteria set for the public library by the city of Funabashi but based on their own political thinking during the period of August 10, 2001 to August 26, 2001.

On July 14, 2005, the Supreme Court ruled that destruction of 107 books infringed the authors’ moral rights, thereby ordering five female librarians to compensate for the damage caused by their illegal act. This particular case is also related to deprivation of the authors’ rights in connection to the public library, freedom of expression, and denial of the users’ right to know.

In an area of Funabashi city, Chiba Prefecture, some concentration of Korean population is seen along with branch office of South Korean Organization.

Nishi-Funabashi Library has been closed since it was seriously damaged by multiple quakes that occurred on March 11, 2011

 

 

India donated an elephant "Indira" to Japan in the chaotic period after WWII

India donated an elephant "Indira" to Japan in the chaotic period after WWII, which many still remember because "Indira" gave Japanese children dreams.

Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India presented Ueno Zoo with an elephant named after his daughter, Indira, in 1949. In a letter he sent to the children of Tokyo, Prime Minister Nehru said, “Indira is a fine elephant, very well-behaved. . . I hope that when the children of India and the children of Japan will grow up, they will serve not only their great countries, but also the cause of peace and cooperation all over Asia and the world. So you must look upon this elephant, Indira by name, as a messenger of affection and goodwill from the children of India . . .”

An old document on "Korean Comfort Women" 朝鮮の伝統文化-慰安婦

Those who occupied the ruling class called "Yangban" during the Joseon period of Korea (1392-1910) were neither obliged to work nor to pay taxes.

They enjoyed not only "exploitation of the lower class" and "unproductive life" but also affairs with Kisaeng (also spelled gisaeng), sometimes called ginyeo (기녀), were officially sanctioned Korean female entertainers or sometimes prostitutes.

Women of the Kisaeng class performed various roles fully recognized by the government of Korea.  They were trained to entertain those in the ruling class at the special facilities established by the government of Korea. Not only serving to function as entertainers or prostitutes to the ruling class, they also performed diplomatic and military roles whenever necessary.

Major roles performed by the women of the Kisaeng classs:

1. They entertained the ruling class.

2. They entertained the Chinese missions with sexual services.

3. They were often shipped out as gifts to China.

4. They were ordered to live in the remote areas to entertain the Korean soldiers defending the borders.

The government of Korea had been viewed as "a large scale brothel" by China during the Joseon period of Korea.

Japanese leftist rascals are miserable maggots!

      

石平太郎 ‏@liyonyon                1 Nov       

日本の左翼連中は実に身勝手だ。普段は「反天皇制」だが必要な時は天皇陛下を政治的に利用する。「米帝国主義」を目の敵にするが米国の押し付けた憲法を守ろうとする。人権を重んじるふりしながら拉致問題には無関心。国内で「反権力」と叫ぶが北京へ行けばいつも独裁権力に媚を売る。卑しい者たちだ。

 

Japanese leftist rascals are really self-indulgent. Although they routinely instigate moves against The Emperor of Japan, they politically exploit The Emperor of Japan when needed. They hate and regard U.S.A. as their enemy while desperately clinging on to the current Constitution of Japan imposed by U.S.A. They pretend to perform the role of "human rights activists" while totally neglecting those abducted by North Korea. They hate "Authority" here in Japan but once they enter Beijing, they love to flirt with "Dictator". They are really miserable maggots.

The hottest topic on the internet in Japanese: Japan's petition law enforced in 1947 may have been violated.

Moments after Taro Yamamoto, a member of the House of Councilors handed over his petition to The Emperor of Japan

The Emperor of Japan remained calm and silent even after the petition was handed over

Taro Yamamoto handed over a petition directly to The Emperor of Japan, thus possibly violating "Petition law" enforced in 1947.  The law prohibits anyone from directly petitioning The Emperor of Japan. Every petition has to go through the Cabinet. It serves to prevent anyone from politically exploiting The Emperor of Japan. Yamamoto may have to resign from the Japanese Parliament no matter what execuses he may come up with.  Some sources say he is closely related to DPRK terrorists.

A photo below shows the good citizens of Japan demand Taro Yamamoto to immediately resign from the Parliament

What will you do if we win the war against Japan?日本に戦争で勝ったら日本人をどう“処理”する？

百度Baidu(a Chinese search engine for websites) allows Chinese internet users to open web forums for such topics as "Will China win against Japan if the war breaks out between Japan and China? , "What will you do if we win the war against Japan?", etc.

Typical responses found in the thread "What will you do if we win the war against Japan?" are as shown below.

1. Tokyo massacre

2. We kill every man, leaving girls alive so that we can solve our shortage of marriagealbe aged women.

3. We force every Japanese to work in the concentration camp until they die.

4. We enslave every Japanese and force them to work for the Great Western Development Strategy (The policy covers 6 provinces (Gansu, Guizhou, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan), 5 autonomous regions (Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Tibet, and Xinjiang), and 1 municipality (Chongqing). This region contains 71.4% of mainland China's area, but only 28.8% of its population, as of the end of 2002, and 19.9% of its total economic output, as of 2009.)

5. We force Japanese to work at our coal mines, so that nobody will pay attention to the accidents that may occur in our coal mines in the future. 

6. We force every Japanese girl to engage in the sacred work of producing our off-springs.

Although the above is only a few of the responses to the initial message posting, it shows that China instigates anti-Japan moves by reporting on its false claim that Japan has been tilting toward extreme nationalism and that the war against Japan is imminent.

Here in Japan, almost all Japanese do not entertain even the slightest idea that there exists the possibile breakout of the war between Japan and China over Senkaku islands.

More than 100 intellectuals arrested and gagged in China

According to The Sankei Shinbun, Professor Zhu Jianrong of Toyo Gaguen University (Japanese university) who is considered modest in his political thinking has been arrested on the suspicion of spying as he often publicly discussed Senkaku islands.

Below is a video in which Professor Zhu Jianrong of Toyo Gaguen University discusses realities in China at the press conference held on December 6, 2012.

 

China has arrested more than 100 Chinese scholars, journalists, etc. for disclosure of sensitive information (information China claims to be sensitive) by September 15 this year.

Those arrests are believed to be closely related to the policy China has recently outlined to tightly control information by purging anyone who leaks information to Japan sharing the same values (human rights, etc.) with the Western nations. It is said that those intellectuals are considered obstructive to the Xi Jinping regime.

Senior executives of the Communist Party lament that Xi Jinping will not gain any support from people even if he tries to revive the Mao Zedong regime.

Koreans committed crimes at the time of Great Kanto Quake関東大震災：朝鮮人による犯罪

Although North Korea often reports and claims that Japanese people committed mass killing at the time of Great Kanto Quake that occurred at 11:58:44 am JST (2:58:44 UTC=Coordinated Universal Time synonymous with GMT) on Saturday, September 1, 1923, the article published on October 21, 1923 reports otherwise on what happened after the major quake.

Law enforcement authority states as follows:

 According to our survey on credibility of the newspaper ariticles frequently reporting that some of the Koreans committed the illegal acts at the time of Great Kanto Quake, we could acknowledge the fact that Koreans were generally good while some discontent Koreans committed numerous crimes.

They committed such crimes as looting, arson, rape, murder, and possession of illegal weapons.

Why the Republic of Korea has turned against Japan? 韓国が「反日」になったわけ

                                                                    

日本国島根県竹島　Takeshima, Shimane Prefecture, Japan

 

Deeply impressed with well-defined analysis of U.S. anti-Japan maneuvering in Asia before and after the Greater East Asia War (or the World War II or the Pacific War called in the Western Hemisphere;  read The Greater East Asia War" VS. "The Pacific War"  ) in the blog post I was recently exposed to, I have decided to devote my time and effort to writing a brief English summary of the post whose title is "Why the Republic of Korea has turned against Japan? 韓国が「反日」になったわけ ".

Syngman Rhee (born on March 26, 1875 and died on July 19, 1965) had forced the Korean population to deny anything Japanese by nurturing hatred toward Japan among the Korean population as soon as he became the first president of the Republic of Korea in 1948 ( Read When S. Korea Gained Independence? August 15, 1945 or August 13, 1948? ).

He was actively involved in fabricating a story that Korea before Japan-Korean annexation in 1910 was the most ideal state in the East whereas denouncing falsely Japan as the most barbaric nation and in spreading it throughout U.S. via such mass media as newspapers published by William Randolph Hearst, thereby trying to seek and secure assistance from U.S. (Read Koreans Return Evil for Good ).

His fabricated story of Japan as "evil" undoubtedly served as a basis for U.S. to determine its political intervention in the Far East. A majority of Koreans who actually lived happily during the 35 years of annexation had to accept his fictitious story, knowing it was untrue because anyone who publicly stated "The Great Imperial Japan was good or Rhee's government was bad" was arrested, jailed, tortured, and executed by Rhee. 

He further strengthened his anti-Japan policy, so as to detruct people's attention from the serious crimes he committed soon after he sworn in as the first president. Just to list a few of his atrocities in South Korea, Rhee was responsible for Bodo League massacre of 1950 (South Korean civilian organizations believe there might have been up to 1,140,000 victims, representing 6% of the 1950 population of South Korea. ), Jeju Uprising of 1948 in which 14,000 to 60,000 individuals were killed in fighting or execution, and National Defense Corps Incident of 1950 in which some 50,000 to 90,000 soldiers starved to death or died of disease on the march and in the training camps because the National Defense Corps Commander Kim Yungun (Kim Yun-keun) (Kim Yoon-keun), son-in-law of Defence minister Shin Sung-mo embezzled funds allocated to foods for the recruited soldiers.

Thus, the direction of Japan-South Korean relationship was basically determined when Rhee became the first president of the Republic of Korea, well assisted by the U.S. government. His anti-Japan policy has been uninterruptedly handed down, one after another, to the current president.

His infamous anti-Japan policy is best demonstrated in the invasion into Takeshima islets in 1952 by unilaterally establishing Syngman Rhee Line on January 18, 1952 in defiance of international laws (Read Takeshima Issue: Unforgivable Atrocity Committed by the government of South Korea ).

A Japanese fisherman abducted and tortured by South Korea in 1950s. No information on his whereabouts has been given to Japan by South Korea.

A Brief History - Takeshima Invasion by ROK: During the period of January 18, 1952 (date of unilateral establishment of Syngman Rhee Line) to June 22, 1965 (signing date of Treaty on
Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea), 328 Japanese fishing vessels were captured and 3,929 fishermen were abducted by South Korea. And,44 Japanese fishermen were brutally murdered by South Korea. Besides, South Korea used abducted fishermen as a bargaining chip for negotiating with Japan on the Treaty.

いまさら何をやっても遅いが、せめて・・・

天皇陛下への謝罪、竹島返還と不法占拠への賠償、在日朝鮮・韓国人の韓国送還、竹島襲撃時の損害賠償、度重なる対日侮蔑への謝罪と責任者の処罰、英霊冒涜への謝罪と再発防止、円借款の即時全面返済。

最低これだけやるなら考えてもよい。

Tweets as follows:

Too late now but if you meet at least the following condtions:

1.  Deep apology to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan;

2.  Return of Takeshima Island with compensation for the illegal occupation;

3.  Accpeting Koreans (citizens of the Republic of Korea and of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea who illegally sneaked into Japan) to be repatriated by Japan;

4.  Compensation for the damages incurred when the Republic of Korea invaded Takeshima;

5.  Necessary punishment for those involved in repeated defamation of Japan and her people and apologies to Japan and her people;

6.  Apologies to Japan and her people for having insulted the brave souls of the fallen soldiers enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine, ensuring that the Republic of Korea will never let anyone repeat insulting them;

7.  Immediate reimbursement of Yen loans.

The above tweet has been selected as it well represents the general feelings Japanese people share towards the Republic of Korea.

The Republic of Korea must face history and must teach its people un-erasable history that Japan-Korea annexation in 1910 was properly executed with full recognition by the international community as it was done in accordance with international law.

Besides, no battles were fought between Japan and Korea in relation to the annexation except the fact that the 1st Prime Minister of Japan Ito was assassinated by a Korean terrorist named An Jung-geun, thereby realizing Japan-Korea annexation. Japan-Korea annexation of 1910 wouldn't have happened unless Prime Minister Ito regarded as a major obstacle to the annexation was assassinated.

The assassinated Prime Minister Ito, one of those well acquainted with the history of Korea and its culture had always opposed the annexation and also had insisted that Korea would no doubt be well controlled by Koreans themselves in view of its past when they once exhibited their talent.

日本の極右の振りをする在日韓国人S. Korean Citizens: A Good Proof of Disturbing Peaceful Demonstration

Below is the disturbance caused by the South Korean citizens pretending to be Japanese rightists while Japanese nationals were staging authorized peaceful demonstration against Fuji TV on August 21.  Fuji TV is a Japan's private television network said to be functioning as a South Korean propaganda organ and is biased against Japan and her people.

The sole purpose of the pseudo Korean rightists is to undermine the image of Japan and her people.

The pseudo Korean rightists shout through loud speakers:

North Koreans! Get out of Japan!  Defeat crushingly the Democratic Party of Japan! Smash up PM Kan!

While Japanese demonstrators shout at the pseudo Korean rightists:

Don't come here! Go away!

  

Below is the post published on August 25.

08/25/2011

Believe it or not!: Who's supporting the Democratic Party of Japan?

It is often observed that those exposed to the cultures of the nations who fought against Japan during the Greater East Asia War tend to habitually regard “the people driving around in the black-colored vehicles with loudspeakers and with Japan’s national flag hoisted high” as the Japanese rightists.

To describe better some realities in Japan by pointing out one crucial flaw quite possibly resulting from biased views commonly found in them, the following paragraph is taken from “ Japanese Right-Wing Lunatics ” written by Mike (in Tokyo) Rogers :

Some who visit Japan say that leftist and rightist groups are everywhere. So what's new? The big difference? The leftist clowns drive around in big white buses and vans with loud speakers blaring out some sort of nonsense about this or that. The rightist clowns drive around in big blue buses and vans with loudspeakers blaring out nonsense about that or this. The funny part is that both groups hire the same people to drive their vehicles. You will often see a huge bus screaming down the street blaring out some message that the emperor should be restored to head of state or that Japan should re-militarize the Rhineland, er, I mean, re-militarize the four small islands north of Hokkaido that the Soviets "stole" at the end of World War II. I chuckle every time I see these buses because even though the bus could ride 60 people, there is usually only one inside; the driver.

As pointed out in the paragraph, there is no big difference between “leftists” and “rightists”. However, one must recognize one important flaw in his paragraph above; that is, “leftists” are not just the clowns driving around in white buses and vans screaming nonsense but they are those who organized “Democratic Party of Japan” whose members are mostly ex-members of “Japan Socialist Party” (reduced to a minority party), now renamed as “Socialist Democratic Party”. Democratic Party of Japan has been the ruling party headed by Prime Minister Kan and former Prime Minister Hatoyama since September, 2009. The ruling party has been closely connected to the Korean peninsula in a number of ways. And, “Rightists” are mostly Korean citizens living in Japan.

Therefore, there is no big difference between them in a sense that both harbor an ulterior motive of politically influencing Japan and her people, so as to restrain them not to seek any hostile moves toward the Korean peninsula while generating cash for promoting their propaganda against Japan and for developing missiles and nukes on the Korean peninsula.

In the video, you will find Japanese Rising Sun flag and South Korean flag being hoisted on the vehicle with banners saying “Promoting and Strengthening Friendship between Japan and South Korea” and “President Chun Doo-hwan! Welcome to Japan!”

“Pseudo Rightist groups” have been organized and have existed here in Japan for the purpose of undermining an image of Japan and her people. They have been quite effective in having planted distorted image of true Japanese rightists in the minds of not only Japanese but also of foreigners.

The video describes a case (reported by a weekly magazine “Shukan Shincho” on July 20 , 2006) in which a Sumo wrestler named Asa Shouryu (Mongolian Grand Champion) was asked by a South Korean if he had ever experienced discriminations in Japan and if they had been severe.

Asa Shouryu said: No, nothing at all.

South Korean said: Don’t hide it. Just say it.

Asa Shouryu said: No, nothing particular at all.

South Korean said: By nothing particular, you mean you have experienced some?

Asa Shouryu said: I told you "Nothing at all". You! Kimchi f-cker! (Kimuchi is a Korean pickle)

“You! Kimchi f-cker!” angered “rightists” in Japan. “Rightists groups” began their protests against him. They tried to pressurize Japan Sumo Association, the Ministry of Education and Science (in charge of sumo wrestling), his Sumo stable, Prime Minister’s Official Residence, Japan-South Korea Parliamentarian group, etc. into punishing Asa Shoryu.
