![Japanese React To The Japan-South Korea Trade War [Street Interview] | ASIAN BOSS](/img/n.gif)
I have to say that the blond girl's point of view is really impressed me. Unlike others, she sees this issue very well. Whoever says young people or woman in Japan doesn't care about politics, obviously her analysis is better than many media.
I get what you are trying to say but that still doesn't mean she or the majority of people care it just means she sees it as it is.
@arrogant cat yep. people totally go and say “oh wow look she has yellow hair” instead of “blonde hair”. what? u could’ve talked about politics or anything but u chose hair lol
@@ryn545 I think they mostly mean that you shouldn’t underestimate ppl based on age or gender. Some men and older ppl (especially in Asian societies where it’s all about respect) like to downplay those ppl and claim they shouldn’t have a voice cuz they don’t understand things.
Clearly, they’re wrong.
Agree
@arrogant cat I mean, she's blonde, not naturally blonde, but she's blonde. Do you seriously go like: "oh, the girl with the red hair" or "yes, the girl with the yellow hair" do you do that? WHO SAYS THAT UNIRONICALLY? There are words for it! Just say "blonde" or "redhead', if you really need to point out it's natural, just say "natural blonde", don't complicate yourself smh.
The blonde woman's analysis was great. Better than many professional journalists.
+1 I appreciated how she paused instead of giving a straightforward answer to what kind of penalty to deliver.
Japanese are whimps and loves licking wounds, they do this is because of how sad it has become and accepts everything given to them. Oh and I am saying as a Half Japanese with a Japanese passport.... And NO I will not give SP Police credits for what they didnt earn or deserve. They didnt try to protect Abe but to Capture the Suspect and you can see, they AVOID body blocking Abe between the Suspect therefore the Suspect have clear line of sight and Abe pastaway. LoL Isnt this what both side wanted?
Suspect and Police no harm.... Just caused and effect, Suspect wanted to shoot... Got 2 shot, before throwing the gun away. Police wanted to capture and went around so no stray bullet would hit.... No harm done to both sides.... Cause and Effect....
And for those of you saying well its cause Japan is always been peaceful.... sure why not, but in 1992 attempted fail and 2011 attempted success. The outside public might be safe, but no not in the parliment.
@@emeraldbreeze5204 your comment smells of ccp shill.
Y’all are weird.
@@emeraldbreeze5204 distorted? Sarcasm? What did you watch, did you forget to read subtitles?
I'm always astonished by the wisdom and depth of the random people on the street you interviewed!

I am sure that there had to be some filtering. That being said, I enjoyed the video. Perhaps that was one of the goals?
Well this is not murica.. lol
Why? The "normal people in the streets" are always gonna look smarter in comparison with those dumb ones on TV
I am a resident of Japan. In my opinion, although I have the impression that many of the people being interviewed are intelligent, I felt that these interviews accurately captured the public opinion of the Japanese people. I often have the impression that foreign media reports on Japanese news are different from the actual situation, but this channel is very good in that it lets many people know what is really going on.
That's interesting because I am a Singaporean and watching some of the content they made interviewing Singaporeans made me feel that Asian Boss is an unreliable source due to how they skewed the questions, did not do enough research into the topic they were asking and cherry picked who appears in the video. Thanks for sharing
@@Blablablarandomguy As another Japanese I have the same feeling. I even suspect there’s some kind of sketchy political organization or something behind this channel. But the thing is, it’s also true that there are many western media that often reports wildly inaccurate or racially biased opinions about Japan, so I can understand OP’s point of view.
unification church is from SK , its known in the west as Moonies. because the founders name is Sun Myung Moon.
@@shachihoko4877 what do Japanese people think about Abe's comments denying Japanese war crimes?
@@ultimateblaze23 Liberal people think he was a revisionist and was wrong, embarrassing, and despicable. Conservative people believe anything the right-wing influencers tell them to believe anyway. The problem is, after Abe's second term, it seemed like he learned how to manipulate the media coverage of his politics. So there's even a chance that the people who don't care about politics don't exactly know what his revisionism was like. And also, Japanese people somehow have a tendency to avoid political confrontations. This issue was highly politicized, so people don't really talk about this kind of thing so often.
Each time I watch an Asian Boss video such as this one I feel the urge to proclaim my admiration for the great contribution this channel is making in cross-cultural respect and understanding. The respondents here gave such cogent, objective and well thought out answers that I was truly amazed. The interviewer was excellent.

@@frozensmile6563 As a militarist who sought to change Japan's peace constitution and rearm Japan, Abe is hated by many people in many countires include Japan.

@@feihuo7874 Japan is a vasal state of the USA. It deserves to arm itself if it wants to. Japan isn't totally sovereign. And Abe was right when he wanted to re militarize Japan. And change the USA backed propagandist constitution
@@feihuo7874 Yes hated by Chinese cause they are not able to have freedom criticize Xi
The blond girl was incredibly well spoken and is incredibly intuitive and genuine. She definitely spoke better than majority of the news stations and politicians in this country.
(Deepl Translation service used)
I saw her at JAV
This girl expressed the incident: "Using murder as a means to raise their voice", can we say of Today's Japanese society situation that some Japanese people are not able to raise their voice in a normal approach?
@Jao Bai Dun It depends what you're translating.
@@simonfoster1881 Japan is a very homogenous country. They tend to follow more on the community side of things rather than individual expressions. Even with the more vocal individuals appearing nowadays, they're simply not enough to overture the sense of community within the public. Sadly, this meant that in order to get massive attention, some would be more than willing to resort to this kind of thing.
she s not a blonde dude
I won’t speak on behalf of others, but I was saddened by this news. As a Japanese citizen, I’ve never voted for his party, and disagreed with him a lot. But when I heard he died, i was so shocked I had to take a rest in the middle of the day. Regardless of my political views, he was a huge existence.
May he rest in peace.
Thank you for this comment. I find it pretty shocking that people would smear someone right after their death, no matter their political views.
@@damland1357 Idk about smearing, since you can’t really smear a politician when their choices are kinda reported on everywhere, and so it’s not like any of it would be inaccurate.
@@ma.2089 Sorry if you misunderstood. I didn’t mean talk about his actions in a negative way. I meant more like celebrating his death and saying terribly disrespectful things. Whether you agree with him or not I think it’s quite terrible to say things like that when someone has passed away.
Same and I am not even japanese, it was just a shocking and sad news
Indeed sad news, he was respected and liked here in India too. Moved Japan to forefront in world scenario. Om Shanti, Abe San 🙏🏻
Everyone was so well spoken. Very interesting to listen to their views
Asian Boss thank you for showing the world and various topics without bias.
In my city here in Japan. When they announced PM Abe's death, everybody is shocked , angry and sad. Many people here can't sleep normally for 3 days. Everybody is talkinh about it. Many of them cried when the news came
That was a really good interview! Good to see what the general perspective is on the street. R.I.P 🏵🍶
I knew for a fact that you guys would do a video on this. I really love your guys’ journalism style. As a former journalist myself, I know it’s unprofessional to comment before I watch the entire video, so I apologize, but here goes.
I've been questioning about this topic since that day, and as I have expected, Asian boss would definitely bring this topic up. Thank you. And my condolences for this tragedy.
I agree, should have died sooner, Abe is a warmonger who denies unit 731 who’s relatives work under imperial japan and “Abe comforts women” is a good google search.
Asian Boss, really incredible; it is another way of seeing what happened in Asia, reactions, culture and news, connecting directly with those involved; not being influenced by anyone, just by the firm conviction to show Asia and its events in the most transparent way possible
On selective interviewers, wow!
Thank you so much for this one of the best youtube channels
The Former PM Abe stepped down from the PM position but he did NOT retire as a political person. He still held a political position in the Japan's government and was active when he was assassinated.
@@incelproud2670 Tiny hats?
Tews own banks and buy politics.
@@incelproud2670 I thought you were going to say something new or interesting for once. Turns out it is just some disrespectful stuff.
He was a criminal and his grandfather was a huge WW2 criminal, this family will suffer bad karma for 7 generations. Abe will be reincarnated as low life to be stepped on with dirty shoes.
It is a shock and still unbelievable for me. And cannot stop to blame the Secret Service as what you call them because he could have been alive if they protected or covered him on the first shot.
The securities were not professional enough to do the job. Very incompetent!!!
Honestly it’s a low gun country. Nobody expects an unemployed marine to create handmade gun n killed from a long range distance. I think the guards can only expect crowds but never gun man.

Prime Minister Shinzō Abe has been assassinated in broad daylight.
His death remind me of the assassination scene from a documentary I recently watched, it's call Tojo Hedeki: Fanatical Terror Of The Rising Sun.
That's the same man who planned the Pearl Harbor attacks and started a biological weapon facility call Unit 731 to cut open people without pain killer.
The assassination unlocked:
The purges of his rivals.
Bombing of Pearl Harbor
Bataan Death March
Biological lab Unit 731
Rape of Nanking
Comfort women ianfu
History is repeating itself.

Update
Some interesting quotes to help us remember him by.
"i will deny this murder ever happened like he denied japanese war crimes his entire life"
-Cleric Support
Abe was a warmonger and he showed it by constantly going to the Yakusuni Shrine and he wanted to amend Article 9 of the Post War Constitution that prohibit Japan to maintain anything but a Self Defense Military.
-Hang Tuah
Abe’s maternal grandfather was a Class A war criminal.
2. Abe insisted in going to Yasakuni Shrine that interned the ashes of all of these class A war criminals even when the Japanese Emperor Hirohito refused to.
3. Abe pushed for the amendment of Article 9 of the Japanese constitution, regarding its pacifist clause.
4. Abe came up with the idea of the Quad.
5. Abenomics has failed and that is why Japan’s debt is 230% of GDP and the yen is in a free fall since March.

@@jellyfishbeans94 it’s a conspiracy
Thanks!
I was waiting for this video, thank you
I've been waiting for this!
The general sentiment amongst Japanese people I know is indifference. People my generation have completely checked out of politics, resulting in older people voting for their best interests at the harm of ours.
That being said, any human life taken in such violent ways is a tragedy and perhaps this is a much needed wake up call for the Japanese people that the world is changing.
Do you think the younger generation would be less likely to join political organization such as Nippon Kaigi? I also get the gist that the condition is like this.
LMAO, sure blame the boomers, there's no way there are young people that have the same politics as Abe
What is the old people interest that harm yours? Are you saying that they dont care for young people as the future generation that will lead Japan?
I’m pretty sure that younger generations are skeptical about their government and society being changed.
Hi there for the sake of discussion, is there no history lessons on Nanjing Massacre and Comfort Women in your textbook? What is the general sentiment towards this kind of behavior among the youngsters?
I don't understand why Asian boss only interviewed young people. I think the elderly may have a different view on Abe's death
There are a lot of elderly people in the Nippon Kaigi, a Far-Right Ultra Nationalist group that Shinzo Abe was a member of, but if you watch another Asian Boss video they made 4 years ago where they asked people about their opinion on Shinzo Abe when he was still prime minister and a lot of elderly people disliked him.
Thank you for sharing the video
so interesting! Great job!

I'm a Japanese high school student.
At my school, when the breaking news of the incident came in, the atmosphere became restless and some children were crying. At the same time, everyone was hoping that Mr. Abe would be saved. I heard Mr. Abe's death on his way home from school. It was so sudden that I didn't even cry. Mr. Abe was such a wonderful person that he could see his personality at a glance. It's been about 6 days now, but I still cry when I see the news.
I would like to look at the issues that Mr. Abe has raised and think more about politics.
Thank you very much, Mr. Abe.
I will never forget you
Please allow me to use Google Translate
I will use Google translate as well
よくやった。 私はあなたの言う事が分かります。 共有していただきありがとうございます。 日本はしんぞう家に沿って私の祈りの中にいます。
You are still young but you are here sharing your story and your feelings.... i'm sorry for your country loss, my deep condolences. Hope this event will make Japan stronger and unite as a nation. God bless you 🙏🏻❤
As Highschool Student from India,he was my idol. My dream is to become a good politician like him. If he hasn't been a PM,we wouldn't have our roads built and we wouldn't have good transportation right now. He has done so many things for us during his tenure. Mr Abe was a very modest,kind and a good man for us Indians. A truthful and a great person like him will never be born again. Japan should be proud to have a great politician like him.
Shinzo Abe misses his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi so much that he often visits the Yasukuni Shrine. So, his grandfather sent someone to find him to meet in hell!
On July 14th, 1960, Shinzo Abe's grandfather Nobusuke Kishi was assassinated (the assassination was unsuccessful). Shinzo Abe repeated the mistakes of his grandfather.
It is said that Tetsuya Yamagami, the suspect in the assassination of Shinzo Abe, was a former member of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.
Soldiers are the people closest to war. Japanese soldiers oppose warmongers Shinzo Abe, very good!
The revival of fascism in Japan goes against the wishes of the Japanese people! It is hoped that the death of Shinzo Abe will serve as a warning to Fumio Kishida, another descendant of war criminals who colonized Taiwan..
Nobusuke Kishi, was once called the "Monster of Manchuria”. He was the Deputy PM of the puppet Manchukuo. His hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people. his main "performance":
1. He cultivated opium poppy on a large scale and monopolized the opium trade in Northeast China, becoming the second largest source of revenue for the Puppet Manchukuo after tariff revenue. He personally brought tons of opium to Shanghai to trade, and together with the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai, he made huge profits.
2. He vigorously promoted the “Manchuria and Mongolia pioneering group” to immigrate to Northeast China, forcibly occupying the land and villages of Chinese farmers, causing a large number of Chinese families to lose their land and homes, to be displaced, freeze to death and starve to death.
3. During his stay in Manchuria, he also actively organized comfort stations for the Kwantung Army, forcibly recruited or deceived Chinese and Korean women as comfort women for the Japanese army to vent their animal desires...
4. He formed the infamous Unit 731 to conduct bacterial experiments on living people, and the main funds were raised by him. It can be said that he is one of the main planners of Unit 731.
Unit 731 dissects a living Chinese child.
Because of his numerous crimes, he was greatly appreciated by the Japanese military. After returning to Japan at the end of 1939, he served as the Minister of Commerce and Industry in the Japanese Cabinet.
Since then, Nobusuke Kishi made greater efforts to be loyal to Japanese fascist regime, firmly supported the launching of the Pacific War, signed the declaration of war against the United States, and become the most capable cabinet member of Hideki Tojo's wartime cabinet.
Under the full operation of Nobusuke Kishi, coal, grain and iron ore plundered from China and oil, rubber, wood, copper and other strategic resources plundered from Southeast Asia were continuously transported to Japan, which became the driving force of Japan's crazy war machine.
At this time, Nobusuke Kishi has changed from the "Monster of Manchuria” to the "Monster of the Shōwa era".
After Japan's defeat, Nobusuke Kishi was listed as a Class A war criminal, but because Hirohito knelt down and licked MacArthur, comfort stations were set up all over Japan, MacArthur was very happy, and finally Nobusuke Kishi was "acquitted".
Nobusuke Kishi thought he could not escape death, but he did not expect to be "acquitted" by the Americans. He was grateful to the United States when he came out of his cell. He just wanted to lick MacArthur's ass and show his loyalty all the time. MacArthur immediately said when he saw Nobusuke Kishi's attitude: Yes, we can rest assured of you, and the Japanese government will hand it over to you in the future.
With the strong support of the United States, in 1957, the war criminal Nobusuke Kishi became the Prime Minister of Japan.
In this way, Nobusuke Kishi pledged his infinite allegiance to MacArthur and his oath of allegiance to the United States.
In the process of kneeling and licking the United States, fruitful results have been achieved.
His greatest "merit" was the vigorous push for the “Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan” under his leadership, which asserted that the United States must defend Japan and that Japan must be defended by the United States - ultimately making Japan a vassal state of the United States.
In fact, many opposition parties in Japan were opposed to becoming a colony of the United States, but Nobusuke Kishi even disregarded the procedures of the Japanese constitution and went to Washington in January 1959 to sign a new U.S.-Japan Security Treaty. Since then, Japan is no longer an independent country.
After returning to Japan from the United States, hundreds of thousands of demonstrations awaited him, surrounding the halls of Congress, and there were many voices of opposition, but Nobusuke Kishi, no matter what, swore allegiance to the United States and forcibly ratified a new U.S.-Japan Security Treaty that would It will take effect automatically after one month
Hundreds of thousands of protesters surround the Japanese National Diet building during the massive 1960 Anpo protests against the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty
Hagerty's car is mobbed by protestors, June 10, 1960
July 14, 1960, Prime Minister of Japan Nobusuke Kishi after the attempted assassination, being tranported to the hospital
Shinzo Abe was a big fan of his grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi.
Nobusuke Kishi's "political legacy" was inherited and carried forward by Shinzo Abe.
Why do Shinzo Abe. like to visit the Yasukuni Shrine so much?
Because the shrine enshrines a group of fascist beasts, including his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi.
The US has left a strong political force of conservatism in Japan (old political forces).
Why Japan did not face up to history is also because the current ruling group is still the old ruling group in World War II.
Japan is a hereditary politics, and the Japanese ruling class is essentially a ruling class whose militarism may come back at any time.
Fumio Kishida's family
After the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, Fumio Kishida great grandfather Ikutaro Kishida became rich by plundering resources in Jilong, Taiwan, with the Japanese army. Fumio Kishida is so concerned about Taiwan, China, because he wants to inherit the career of his great-grandfather!
Fumio Kishida's grandfather, Masaki Kishida, a World War II war criminal, member of the Japanese House of Representatives after World War II
In the World War II, his grandfather Masaki Kishida served in the Japanese Navy, and successively served as naval participant officer, naval political assistant, national defense Commissioner, liberal party general affairs, etc.
After World War II, Masaki Kishida was dismissed from office for being a war criminal, but eventually returned to the House of Representatives because of dirty deals between Japan and the United States.
Of course, we have leftists in Japan to thank.
Japan's teachers' Union is Left-wing (Only 0.4% of schools use right-wing textbooks), Kitano Takeshi, Japanese national treasure director, Doraemon author Fujiko f Fujio, Miyazaki Hayao and so on are all Left-wing.
There are not a few leftists in the Japanese intellectual, cultural and artistic circles.
In addition, the Communist Party of Japan(CPJ) is a communist party with a longer history than the CPC.
The ruling class in Japan is quite divided from the lower classes.
This is the status quo in Japan.
To some extent, this explains why the Japanese people have always advocated peace, while the Japanese government (old political forces) is busy revising the peace constitution, amending the security bill and lifting the ban on the right to collective self-defense...
Once you become more familiar with politics, I feel you will come to realize that Abe was not deserving of anyone's tears. Such feelings of sadness are only possible for the naive.
Ironic how it was Abe’s grandfather Nobusuke kishi who introduced this church to japan in 1970 after visiting south korea.
Thank you for this channel

I hope they would reinforce the bodyguards to the politicians. Also make sure to check that no one is having guns or weapons at the speach area.

@@ovum
Being American is wanting better security detail for important figures?
@@Infiltrator_ It's more of being sensible and knowing the fact the "gun" used in the crime was improvised.. in a country where getting a gun is close to impossible to the general public.
Did anybody who liked that comment read up on Japan's gun laws? Cause I'm getting the feeling Americans are self-inserting themselves again.
@@ovum
He is, however, correct. Regardless of where you live, the security surrounding people like Shinzo Abe should be competent. They clearly weren't because they let someone get up behind him that close. Worse, instead of running at him, they stood around after the first shot. They didn't rush over to tackle him until he fired a second time. If they had reacted after the first shot, Shinzo would be alive right now.
@@ovum The person obviously meant checking backpacks near the politician, not general gun control, brainiac. The guy could have had a bottle of acid in his backpack and thrown it in the Prime Minister's face. And 'Asian Boss' is a channel in English informing Westerners of Asian perspectives -- so if you think the channel's target audience is 'self-inserting', you should look up 'self-inserting' in the dictionary.
This may seem odd to Japanese friends, but one of us political observers in Vietnam once said that the assassination of Mr. Shinzo Abe was related to the issue of bad luck. Anyone who has ever visited the mausoleum of communist leader Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam has not had a happy ending. Many Vietnamese politicians and businessmen (work for communists) in Vietnam have visited this leader's mausoleum, and have ended up being poisoned (like Tran Dai Quang) or arrested. Mr. Shinzo Abe also went there once.
Anyway, I may not be as aware of Japanese politics as you are, but for us Vietnamese, Mr. Shinzo Abe in particular and the whole of Japan in general have given to us so much help. I don't know what my country would be like without the help of the Japanese people and government. Thank you guys, thanks Mr. Shinzo Abe, and my sincere condolences to the family.
Lol wtf ever heard of country pakisthan see the history of the fate their prime ministers faced from the independence 😂
@@ace7765 what are you talking about?
More interviews regarding abe s assasination please.
The guy in the white T-shirt is very wise in his views on capital punishment. A lot of people brush off talks about death sentence so lightly, that's how disconnected we are as a modern human these days.
You are right my dear, well such is life... may God accept his soul and grant him eternal rest
He's a prominent member of Nippon Kaigi, which is a far right nationalist organization of self professed monarchists that don't just deny Japanese war crimes, they also literally want to revive Imperial rule and make their "history" education more "patriotic,"
In honor of Mr. Abe I will be denying this crime ever happened

thanks for only interviewing one particular group of people...
Excellent interview! Asian Boss gives us a chance to understand deeply Japanese on Shinzo Abe's Assassination. Thank you!
I'm was shocked and saddened too...until now i still couldn't believe that he's gone...this is so heartbreaking 😭🙏❣️we Filipinos love him so much and extremely grateful to him🙏😭❣️🇵🇭🇯🇵
Abe San was a visionary statesman, we in India lost a dear friend. certainly there's much more to this than what's apparent. It has to do something with the last recent statement about Taiwan.
Rest in peace, Om Shanti 🙏🏻
Oh man 😥😥
From a perspective of a person that lives in south America, Brazil, and bring asian, living afraid of getting shot is the worst thing possible. I can't leave home and not get threatened of getting robbed or something. I was taught since very early that if someone points a gun at me, i just not do fast movements or talk fast, not reach my pockets, etc. So since i was young, i was taught of what to do to not get shot or accidentally shot. Nowadays here, it's so easy to die from someone trying to rob you and ends up shooting you. It's a pity to see something like that occurring in Japan.
*Greeting to Abe from India* He will be remembered always as a great Leader.
🇮🇳 🤝🇯🇵
I'm impressed on how empathetic these people are. They know it's wrong but they don't judge and shame the suspect, even try to understand the suspect's feeling and point of view.
Very interesting
these videos are sometimes quite a shock as to how the public thinks but nevertheless interesting thank you for the video!

These people give better insights than average people in the streets of America.
Because Japanese people not ignorant and disrespectful unlike American.
Or most people from media outlets.
We ALWAYS take everything for granted....until we see the consequences.
I can honestly say I’ve never seen Texas and a soccer ball in the same picture frame . Where do they get these shirts ?? Lol
Thanks for the great interview. It reflect young generation views. Mid aged people might have different view. In any case, I absolutely condemn who post happy comment on Mr Abe’s death.
when ordinary Japanese people, give answers that are far wiser and logical, grammatically structured and polite, than the rhetoric of most politicians from western countries.
As an Australian I would say that basically sums up the Japanese and their culture period. Couldn't agree more with your comment.
yes, they definitely understand nuance, which many people lack in this day and age.. especially "educated" Americans, speaking from personal experience
👏👏👏👏👏
To you. That's the way it sounds to you lol.
Why can't we just enjoy the video without making a dig at the West?
Hi Asian Boss, you should consider interviewing the native Chinese and Korean people for what they have to say. I've waited for you guy's video to come out after hearing the news about Abe. I'm interested because I'm Chinese American. I don't have much of an opinion and I can't relate as much because I've lived in America for so long. I have lost touch with my Chinese POV side. The reason being China and Korea have a really rough history with Japan due to WW2 and I've heard a lot of awful things on the internet about Abe. I've been wondering what do ordinary Chinese and Korean people think on the street? From the younger generation to the old?
I heard that local Chinese were celebrating
@@battleroyale1760 Some of them, from my POV.
@@RoktivFr oh
@lol qkloyv since when were you against Korea?
Heard that Chinese clubs were celebrating his death and I saw some Korean responses celebrating and saying take Putin and Kim Jong Un with him.
This channel is so amazing. Thank youuuuu
My condolences to the people of Japan and very sad to hear the news.
“Have you heard?” Probably every single person in Japan has!?!?
Asian Boss, please do some street interviews on the cults that caused this!
Something about this video reminds me of Ghost in the shell, SAC( stand alone complex) and the laughing man case.
The reason why “strange people” were happy was because Shinzo Abe is a nationalist who denies Japan war crimes, his father was a war criminal in ww2, strengthened usa imperialist ties, etc. As soon as he was shot so many japanese netizens were quick to to blame Zainichi koreans… very anti korean dumb hatred. And foreigners blaming Japanese “left”. Not saying he should have been killed, but i have no sympathy for Shinzo.
really makes you wonder who the supposed "strange people" are considered in japan. anti-imperialist??? because that seems like my type of crowd tbh
@@bob_bub No, they are not considered anti-imperialist, they are considered anti-Abe.
They want to blame Abe for their misfortune.
They also started blaming Kishida when Abe quit as prime minister, but Abe was prime minister for a long time,
so those who want to think that it is the government's fault and not their own that they are not doing well are happy about Abe's death.
I think this event is almost as shocking as the assasination of Inejiro Asanuma in 1960. You can and are allowed have your policital diferencies and opinions, but resorting to this type of violence doesn't do good to anyone except erroding the state of a stable working society. I hope Japan gets to work on this problem once and for all, there are many people out there who are desperately in need of professional mental support and because of the lack of it are resorting to take measures into their own hands only to result into senseless violence.
The assasination wasn’t about politics though
A good commie is a dead commie
@@tsarbombawithinternetconne875 If it were, it probably would not have happened so close to an election where he wasn't a candidate, because the populace could easily retaliate at the ballot box.
@@numberk_rossi If you want you can make a video on it yourself, besides I don't see anyone glorifying S. Korea too much here.
It was due to a cult, religion, not really 'politics' like your implying.
My condolences go out to the people of Japan and Abe's family, may he rest in peace.
@Indian toilet wtf how was he devil?
@Indian toilet true
Arigato.
@Indian toilet Why would anyone celebrate someone getting murdered?
@Indian toilet why? Are u a Chinese?
what video editor do you use for the subtitles??
I would like to appreciate people who gave us condolences.Thank you!
We will miss his smiling face.May you Rest In Peace.
Their responses were very on-point, concise yet logical and makes sense. Truly that Japanese people are very smart.
what is a simp for 100$ please.
Let’s see a video of what Japan’s surrounding countries think of Shinzo Abe’s assassination 🤔
1day before he's assisnatation we arrived at kumitsu Japan...so sad.😢
What's scary now is the risk of copycats trying to commit similar crimes for attention or other reasons.
Japanese people are so insightful
well yes on things like this, yet many of them dont know there are 4 seasons in other countries than Japan 🤣
that blonde girl is smart. i admire the way she thinks.
As an American I don't know if it was a good thing or bad for the common people but I hope it all works out for our brothers!
Sir. Shinzo Abe Thank you for everything
R.I.P🙏
とても悲しい😢😢😢
I'm glad Kei fixed his hair. It looks so much better.
feel sorry for that gunman after reading his story
what a life
that's no reason to shoot someone
@@samshah7628 They never said anything like that. This is called 'empathy', dude. And having empathy doesn't automatically mean you're lacking sense of justice. Jmfc.
This was a great shock around the world but so long as Japanese people are as sensible as these interviewees, they will be fine. The analysis of the young blonde woman was outstanding.
Japanese people are so calm
nice my dear but today i realy need u to save me im broke this year due to sickness so i beg u the best with respect to found me 5ghc for food help please
I love your videos! The perspectives people bring are so relevant and enlightening for the average politically belligerent Westerner. - If they bother to listen, that is...
PM Abe was a truly great man, may he rest in peace, and may his family be comforted ❤
76 nice my dear but today i really need u to save me im broke this year because of a problem of behavior disorder and it is difficult for me to find a job so i beg u the best with respect to found me 5ghc for food help please
Politically belligerent Westerner? Hm, I'm getting some anti-Western vibes from you.....
This is big loss to Japan. As Tibetan people really concern about it and sad to hear the incident .
Abe denied any of the war crimes and comfort women

In year 2007, the mayor of Nagasaki city was shot and murdered by a member of Yakuza.
Gun crimes do happen in Japan time to time and also public knife stabbings happened many times.
Don't understand why security was so poor.
Gun crime in 2021, there were 10 Incidents and 1 person died in Japan.
Most of them were Gangsters' related .
USA death total is 36000 by guns.
Yes, I thought the same about the lacklustre security detail. Why it took the security too long to jump in after the first misfired shot is beyond me.
Shinzo Abe misses his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi so much that he often visits the Yasukuni Shrine. So, his grandfather sent someone to find him to meet in hell!
On July 14th, 1960, Shinzo Abe's grandfather Nobusuke Kishi was assassinated (the assassination was unsuccessful). Shinzo Abe repeated the mistakes of his grandfather.
It is said that Tetsuya Yamagami, the suspect in the assassination of Shinzo Abe, was a former member of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.
Soldiers are the people closest to war. Japanese soldiers oppose warmongers Shinzo Abe, very good!
The revival of fascism in Japan goes against the wishes of the Japanese people! It is hoped that the death of Shinzo Abe will serve as a warning to Fumio Kishida, another descendant of war criminals who colonized Taiwan..
Nobusuke Kishi, was once called the "Monster of Manchuria”. He was the Deputy PM of the puppet Manchukuo. His hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people. his main "performance":
1. He cultivated opium poppy on a large scale and monopolized the opium trade in Northeast China, becoming the second largest source of revenue for the Puppet Manchukuo after tariff revenue. He personally brought tons of opium to Shanghai to trade, and together with the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai, he made huge profits.
2. He vigorously promoted the “Manchuria and Mongolia pioneering group” to immigrate to Northeast China, forcibly occupying the land and villages of Chinese farmers, causing a large number of Chinese families to lose their land and homes, to be displaced, freeze to death and starve to death.
3. During his stay in Manchuria, he also actively organized comfort stations for the Kwantung Army, forcibly recruited or deceived Chinese and Korean women as comfort women for the Japanese army to vent their animal desires...
4. He formed the infamous Unit 731 to conduct bacterial experiments on living people, and the main funds were raised by him. It can be said that he is one of the main planners of Unit 731.
Unit 731 dissects a living Chinese child.
Because of his numerous crimes, he was greatly appreciated by the Japanese military. After returning to Japan at the end of 1939, he served as the Minister of Commerce and Industry in the Japanese Cabinet.
Since then, Nobusuke Kishi made greater efforts to be loyal to Japanese fascist regime, firmly supported the launching of the Pacific War, signed the declaration of war against the United States, and become the most capable cabinet member of Hideki Tojo's wartime cabinet.
Under the full operation of Nobusuke Kishi, coal, grain and iron ore plundered from China and oil, rubber, wood, copper and other strategic resources plundered from Southeast Asia were continuously transported to Japan, which became the driving force of Japan's crazy war machine.
At this time, Nobusuke Kishi has changed from the "Monster of Manchuria” to the "Monster of the Shōwa era".
After Japan's defeat, Nobusuke Kishi was listed as a Class A war criminal, but because Hirohito knelt down and licked MacArthur, comfort stations were set up all over Japan, MacArthur was very happy, and finally Nobusuke Kishi was "acquitted".
Nobusuke Kishi thought he could not escape death, but he did not expect to be "acquitted" by the Americans. He was grateful to the United States when he came out of his cell. He just wanted to lick MacArthur's ass and show his loyalty all the time. MacArthur immediately said when he saw Nobusuke Kishi's attitude: Yes, we can rest assured of you, and the Japanese government will hand it over to you in the future.
With the strong support of the United States, in 1957, the war criminal Nobusuke Kishi became the Prime Minister of Japan.
In this way, Nobusuke Kishi pledged his infinite allegiance to MacArthur and his oath of allegiance to the United States.
In the process of kneeling and licking the United States, fruitful results have been achieved.
His greatest "merit" was the vigorous push for the “Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan” under his leadership, which asserted that the United States must defend Japan and that Japan must be defended by the United States - ultimately making Japan a vassal state of the United States.
In fact, many opposition parties in Japan were opposed to becoming a colony of the United States, but Nobusuke Kishi even disregarded the procedures of the Japanese constitution and went to Washington in January 1959 to sign a new U.S.-Japan Security Treaty. Since then, Japan is no longer an independent country.
After returning to Japan from the United States, hundreds of thousands of demonstrations awaited him, surrounding the halls of Congress, and there were many voices of opposition, but Nobusuke Kishi, no matter what, swore allegiance to the United States and forcibly ratified a new U.S.-Japan Security Treaty that would It will take effect automatically after one month
Hundreds of thousands of protesters surround the Japanese National Diet building during the massive 1960 Anpo protests against the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty

Shinzo Abe was a big fan of his grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi.
Nobusuke Kishi's "political legacy" was inherited and carried forward by Shinzo Abe.
Why do Shinzo Abe. like to visit the Yasukuni Shrine so much?
Because the shrine enshrines a group of fascist beasts, including his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi.
The US has left a strong political force of conservatism in Japan (old political forces).
Why Japan did not face up to history is also because the current ruling group is still the old ruling group in World War II.
Japan is a hereditary politics, and the Japanese ruling class is essentially a ruling class whose militarism may come back at any time.
Fumio Kishida's family
After the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, Fumio Kishida great grandfather Ikutaro Kishida became rich by plundering resources in Jilong, Taiwan, with the Japanese army. Fumio Kishida is so concerned about Taiwan, China, because he wants to inherit the career of his great-grandfather!
Fumio Kishida's grandfather, Masaki Kishida, a World War II war criminal, member of the Japanese House of Representatives after World War II
In the World War II, his grandfather Masaki Kishida served in the Japanese Navy, and successively served as naval participant officer, naval political assistant, national defense Commissioner, liberal party general affairs, etc.
After World War II, Masaki Kishida was dismissed from office for being a war criminal, but eventually returned to the House of Representatives because of dirty deals between Japan and the United States.
Of course, we have leftists in Japan to thank.
Japan's teachers' Union is Left-wing (Only 0.4% of schools use right-wing textbooks), Kitano Takeshi, Japanese national treasure director, Doraemon author Fujiko f Fujio, Miyazaki Hayao and so on are all Left-wing.
There are not a few leftists in the Japanese intellectual, cultural and artistic circles.
In addition, the Communist Party of Japan(CPJ) is a communist party with a longer history than the CPC.
The ruling class in Japan is quite divided from the lower classes.
This is the status quo in Japan.
To some extent, this explains why the Japanese people have always advocated peace, while the Japanese government (old political forces) is busy revising the peace constitution, amending the security bill and lifting the ban on the right to collective self-defense...
@@klchai7884 😅 You do not know what is a Fascizm !
A political system headed by a dictator in which the government controls business and labor and opposition is not permitted.
Obliviously Japan is a democratic country which world recognize.
Kishi is Abe"s grandfather whose sprit is not at Yasukuni Shrine.
In fact his ashes is being buried in tomb of ancestors at Yamaguchi Ken.
First you better study with basic facts.
@Snakejüce who is CCP? Abe was belong to A Democratic Party as well as his grandpa.
Abe was the man. Condolences from Turkey 🇹🇷🇯🇵
He may have been a nice person to some people he met but let's not forget how he denied Imperial Japan's war crimes and also the policies he made that hurt minorities in the country
that isn't enough to take away one's life, murder is unjustifiable
@@XiWein That's exactly the point, war results in many deaths yet Abe denied those crimes.
@@shastablue221 it will make more sense if Abe did those crimes? did he? such a broad justification
You know nothing about the minorities or his policies instead you had to make a dumb comment which shows your ignorance. I dare you show me what policies of his hurt the minorities? Also FYI the current Japanese people have nothing to do with imperial Army at that time.
The hell are you talking about his administration brought more minorities into the country to work, if anything he pushed for more fairness within the communities then any other politician before him. I don't think I have seen him publicaly deny war crimes and his administration constantly apologized for ww2 and their actions. Most of the times when the administration apologized it was twisted by foreign media 😅
RIP Abe jii prayers from India 🙏🏼. May Japan prosper and move forward 👍
What ever others may think, for we Indians we have lost a great friend of India.
Strange that guard didn't notice him this close and couldn't intervene before second shot.

Cant wait to see this
Even though I haven't really shown it in any way, I'm generally bummed to hear he died

Whether Japan felt it or not, India felt it. Abe was very good to india, no matter the administration in power. He is so popular in India, we gave him the Padma Bhushan, one of the highest honours in India. We felt really sad. A day of mourning was also nationally declared.
it’s pretty interesting to see that India is the only country that like japan while other asian countries hate japan because of the historical and political reason.
Ofc because he help your poor country you should be thankful
india should be thankful to amercia, korea and japan to be supportive with the economy.
@@shibal6357 no we dont
@@shibal6357 ikr
The guy in the white shirt had a really good response.
He is my favourite reporter in Asian Boss.
Gun violence is extremely rare in Japan but assassination of political oppositions are not. We have a cultural tradition of political assassinations dating back to ancient times and it's very frequent even in the last century. It is the way our political environment has been, whether we like it or not.
Almost 100 years ago Top was killed by Imperial Amy officers called 226 Incident before ww2.
Compared to other countries, japan has been pretty safe for politicians post war, that’s why these politicians are doing speeches in the open. But as you mentioned, before the war, the number of assassinations were staggering.
@@hayz9338 staggering is wrong words. 6 people were killed. They were all Samurai warriors.
Samurai means death. Best way ti go as far as they were concerned.
US British French Russia were interested in Japan . They forced to open its country by military forces.
They bombarded from their ships and destroyed peaceful villages and killed . Japan had 400 years of peaceful and had cultural development before that. So Shogun hand over his Government to the Emperor without bloodshed. He move into the temporary house called Edo jo where his highness still lives temporary. His main house is in Kyoto. Emperors has never being killed in Japanese history 3000 years and only Independent country in Asia then. Others were under colonization by Europeans for 500 years. Asian did not have any leaders within own country.
So all top were whites from British , French , Duch. Japan had own Japanese leaders all its history. Look at Russia and Japan war, their ambitions were taking over Korean peninsula and china. Japan had to stop, Look at Imperial Navy who defeated Russian Freet. Japanese strategy was 500 years old . Not known by westner. Strong army / sumurai kept country peace and no assassinations. Maybe one in 400years. So that “staggering assassinations” is wrong words.
@@may-ky6jl well it's ancient times all countries experienced leaders being lost at that time and so expecially today in some countries where politicians are killed. When do you hear politicians getting killed in Japan.
@@may-ky6jl sorry, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here. All I said was that there were a lot of prime ministers, government and military officials, and business leaders who were assassinated before the war. I would describe that kind of instability as staggering compared to recent history.
What Abe's legacy is largely divided and starkly contrast perception on his approach in domestic and foreign affair, due to ideology and geopolitical indifference.
776 nice my dear but today i really need u to save me im broke this year because of a problem of behavior disorder and it is difficult for me to find a job so i beg u the best with respect to found me 5ghc for food help please
RIP Abe, thank you.
Truely sorry for hearing someone being murdered. but... told you not to visit the war criminal's temple, now you heard their summons
This incident is going to completely change the way that Japan facilitates how politicians interact with the public. Probably gonna have security detail all around them with bulletproof glass and have them wear Kevlar vests. It's wild how close range the assassin got to make the shot before anyone could prevent it or sound the alarm.
54 nice my dear but today i realy need u to save me im broke this year due to sickness so i beg u the best with respect to found me 5ghc for food help please
You guys should interview some Chinese citizens reactions on how other Chinese were and are still celebrating his assassination.

Hey Asian Boss.... I'm a Srilankan and it would be great if you could do a video over Srilankan crisis and protest against the current government and all the parties in the parliament (225) . If you're video could educate atleast one more person about Sri Lanka and our situation that would be great.....
And as in for the former Japan prime minister, may he rest in peace. It was indeed shocking yet as mentioned in the video , the incident made a big impact and more noise in the social media comparison to lives of General public. My TL was full from the incident related articlesand posts.....
Stay strong my Sri Lankan friend. Even though things might seem bleak right now, better days will come. Keep fighting. Keep hoping. Stay safe.
Yesss
