I wanna move to Japan with my boyfriend but i'm mentally disabled and very scared of being shamed or harmed. Hearing about this case is so horrible and i'm so sorry to the people with disabilities they cannot hide. My heart goes out to those attacked and injured for simply just living.
Please bare in mind, most of Japanese people don't speak any other language like English and living there can be hard for most visitors. Please only visit short holiday in big cities, like Osaka where people are warmer and friendlier, not Tokyo, very cold. Most of Japanese are very polite and even shy, you won't be attacked or verbally abused there. Choose spring or autumn. But, Japanese gov is discriminating anyone who don't conform to normal or ordinary. They deny dual nationality, so cut off many educated skilled and talented people who gained second nationality, and mixed race adult children to choose only one. They prepare infrastructure like lift in major stations, but most visitors never get work permit or long visa, unless some Japanese company offer jobs for elite skilled persons, like IT or engineer and that, before leaving your current country. But as tourists, you will enjoy and people never attack you, white, blonde (dye your hair, ha ha), in wheelchair user tourists. I knew Japanese people aren't interested in Tokyo Paralympics (They want compensation for Fukushima nuclear disaster evacuees etc), shame. You will not see disabled people in wheelchair anywhere, unlike London (2012 Paralympics was brilliant, also for disabled artists) as I live. I don't know about you but UK gov and DWP wants know if you are sick or disabled receiving leave UK for a more than a month. But UK gov never deny you any basic human rights like have children. I was born in Japan and lived healthy, but felt unbearable as an artist for conformity, lack of freedom and disrespect for female. I never knew Japanese gov forced disabled people eugenics (Nazis!) new information as was a healthy person while I lived there. Situation hasn't changed much. Watch all documentary about Japan, how sick, twisted, narrow minded, outdated, lonely they are from lack of English skills manipulated by gov (probably by USA influence after Atomic Bombs) and isolated from wider world. Appreciate your own country and contribute. I enjoy my freedom in London, UK especially after became sick. I love only old and best of Kyoto and Japan I used to know, art, culture, traditional things that lives in people's imagination.
The attitude that led to such a tragedy is very saddening. I know that in Japan there’s a “don’t rock the boat” mentality at times and people are expected to try not to be a burden on others, but that shouldn’t be the case for the disabled and all those who become a “burden” unintentionally. There should be a strong sense of caring for others, and it makes me happier to see people like those parents making an effort to be involved in their loved one’s life.
This is so clear, I wondered about the disability population in Japan. This gives me great empathy for people who live in Japan who go through with this, I am grateful to see change. I do feel bad for those who have been tortured or who went through suffering. Japan is an awesome country, I feel bad for those who have suffered as well. I have compassion for those who have suffered. Thanks for this.
Wonderful report. I almost cried because of the discrimination these people and their families have suffered, but at the same time I feel happy for the little but significant steps "disabled" people are making. I hope that everyone comes to realize sooner or later that these people "disabilities" sometimes exist because the world is only thought for the "healthy/functioning".
i would love to help. i don't know how but i would love to help. i am working to raise awareness for "invisible illnesses" and "invisible disabilities" here but i would love to help there. i left a very long comment on this video so i do not want to leave another incredibly long comment, but if there is a way i can help, i would be more than honored to do so. i cry watching this. the best HUMAN BEINGS I KNOW are those who have had to live with incredibly severe disabilities. one of the kindest people i know - if not the kindest - is someone who also has this kind of muscular dystrophy.
@@SpoonieSensei Loved your willingness for help, but unfortunately most of Japanese people cannot speak English. I think Japanese gov still controlled by US after losing WWII by atomic bombs and both don't want Japanese people to access right information regarding human rights, disability rights, not much on hidden disability knowledge, you don't see any people in wheelchair, nationality issues (not allows dual nationality, mixed race children etc. If Japanese people could see these English documentary they'll be more enlightened, any ability alike. (In my opinion as a formerly Japanese who moved and gained British nationality, lack of ability to speak English is a huge disability not just disadvantage in this day and age.
Wow, that was a terrible question. I really enjoy East 101 but how dare someone ask a disabled person what they would do if they weren't disabled. It shows you think being disabled is lesser that being abled.
Ironically, in a video talking about disabled people, surprisingly, there is no audio narration of what the Japanese people are saying, as if visually impaired people don't need to know that.
The problem with a lot Asians countries is that Mental health to them doesn't exist. I hope the fracture of minority of people should bring up the issue often and tell their government to fix it but with the corruption of the government system I don't think they will listen to the citizen which is a real shame. People should treat other people fairly not to elude them over because how they are different.
I think everywhere in the world people who have disability get mistreated badly. This is more of a human rights issue and need to be addressed more often. It doesn't matter if the country is rich or poor. They always hide a dark story which overshadowed and kept away by their state media.
@@LunaHiddenStars Yes, I think there is a documentary on TH-cam of where mentally and disable people do receive work at farms but they don't receive paychecks and they get abused. The SK government did a crackdown after a reporter exposed a farmer. The problem is that they don't have good mental health system. I believe that it is everywhere in Asia.
@@fighting.sickness Unfortunately, many people's so are. in 2017 june, low-cost airline Vanilla Air was in the midst of critisism against discrimination to disability man. However, in SNS for example Twitter, there are many attacks against men who protested against Vanilla Air, and tweet such as let Anime characters kill persons with disabilities were posted, and it has been thousands or lot retweets.
@@fighting.sicknessI somewhat agree with your statement not all of the people but maybe handful are prejudice but a country that is rich, homogeneous and became top back in the 80's does have a dark side. The problem is everything is being overshadowed and the issues should be least get recognition.
I read if you're disabled don't visit Japan because a lot of places are not assessable for the handicap, Most stores and restaurants don't have ramps and such.
You have to understand Japanese culture, it stems from idiology of "sameness". It's born out of strict view that anything outside a norm is viewed with oddity and strangeness. Homosexuality, disability, free speech, anything that may cause an upset balance of the "sameness" policy is frowned upon almost religiously by the government and most surprisingly the nation as a whole. They adopt the approach "out of sight, out of mine". It is so cruel that such society threats it's most vulnerable in such light! It is the same policy that is going to be downfall of Japan, since they have extremely ageing population now, with an astonishing amount of single people living alone. This is going to result in extremely low population in the next few decades unable to support the rapidly ageing and changing society if the views and mentality of the nation do not change to accommodate, for a policy where "sameness" does not work anymore.
I ended up here very strangelym i was watching the most recent vodeo from molly burke a highly successful canadian who is blind. And she was talking about how it affects her emotionaly the discrimination she faces because of it. Then thinking how many things i have watched about japan over the years. Both vlogs of Japanese and non Japanese living there and educational videos. And realised i never say anyone in a wheel chair. Or a guide dog. A kane. But i know they have to exist and thats when i typed in japan disablty. And found this :( i truely hope this changes. Life os to short.
I was born and raised in Japan until 1991, I never knew about Eugenics in disabled people until 1996!? It's shocking violation of human rights by Japanese government and doctors agreed such brutal, evil practice like Nazis! (Whom occupy Tibet, do it to Tibetans!) I feel who those attack and discriminate vulnerable are sick in mind and inhumane! I've gained second nationality so that I am no longer a Japanese by my own government. Because they fear and discriminate people like us who has been enlightened by having English ability to gain right knowledge and information. They also force mixed race children to choose just one nationality when they reach adulthood. Japan has so few children and huge aging population so Japanese race will die out soon and will be replaced by similar looking Orientals and robots. Sad.
A Documentary well done! I would like to encourage Kikoro to read a book entitled, " THE PRINCE "written by NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI. written in 1513, the book deals with advice for RULERS, and, was itself dedicated to Lorenzo de Demici.

I thought the same thing! Shuhei handled the question very well though, and it made me happy to see him taking pride in himself :)
Drew Ambrose's presentation is up there with the best of them. I really enjoy learning from his documentaries.
Andrew Ambrose is Al Jaz's best correspondent - never miss his stories. GO AL JAZEERA!

well they were pretty much nazi's during ww2, and I think survival of the fittest mentality kicked in at the end of the war, during famine.
Feel horrible for the older Japanese man.
