Raw Video: Drunken Japanese Finance Minister?

[Mrmoc7]

Is there a word for "self-forgiveness" in Japanese?

[lesamourai777]

We all make mistakes. What he needed was for people to rally around him and provide moral support. Unfortunately, he died months later, some say from a broken spirit.

[TheSolLevante]

look watch?v=0EKpSalkNIQ

fee him to know what he did during his stay in the G8.

[lovekurt]

He was a good man. He was ill and combination of alcohol and medicine unexpectedly made him like that. it's not fair that mass media made fun of him. He was such an important person for Japan and the loss is so huge. We miss you dearly Mr Nakagawa. Your hard works and love for Japan will never be forgotten. R.I.P.

[Conchobhar]

@lovekurt Whoa wait what? He died?

[lovekurt]

@Conchobhar

Yes he did. Him and Taro Aso (Japanese ex-prime minister) was very badly targeted by biased mass media and let down, because meida wanted current government to win the election. Previous party was conservatives, more friend with USA. Current party tends to value China and North Korea more. Now do you see the propaganda war in Japan? Japanese mass media loves commies, because they can get more money. In return, mass media don't report so harshly about current party and commies.

[Conchobhar]

@lovekurt I don't see what communists have to do with anything here.

[lovekurt]

@Conchobhar

you're right, although it is little bit related. he was in huge stress and pressure from mass media, he was in worst situation when this happened and he was probably forcing himself to work harder even he was terribly ill. this video was once again used unheartfully by media and made fun of him. I'm writing extra bit of information here just for his honor that's all.

[lehua16]

@Conchobhar It is widely suspected that he was murdered. This drunken show was also rumored that he was spiked in his wine by Yomiuri newspaper editor. He can drink a lot, he is young, he does not get drunk with few sips of wine!! February 13, Nakgawa signed the terms of Japan's $100 billion commitment on under a borrowing agreement designed to temporarily supplement the IMF Fund's financial resources. He talked directly, so he had many enemies, especially China/ Korea side. J media is red.

[jeepndesert]

he should have followed bernanke's advice of dropping dollars from a helicopter (printing debt-free greenbacks) to solve japan's deflation problem.

[prickett233]

he looks sleep deprived and not drunk.

[ToiYeuDatNuocCuaMinh]

He should be a pornstar! !!!

[jayburger2010]

Bitch had sex with a turkey!!

[SkillerNerd]

hes dead now

[HomoTriSapien]

He's soo drunk, he sounds chinese to me

LoL

[HomoTriSapien]

Rawest vid i saw :o)

[pqwilrj]

Lol. He was totally wasted. It's sad he killed himself though. I guess it was the only way to preserve his family's honor.

[jeepndesert]

@pqwilrj when the solution is as easy as printing debt-free dollars, you'll be driven to the bottle when you know the bankers won't allow you to solve the problem unless they bankers make a profit. he could have chosen the life as a renegade economist or retired early to be a renegade. however, he chose to be a well-paid puppet until it drove him crazy.

[pqwilrj]

@jeepndesert It is the way of the Samurai.

[FlosmicLove]

This man has lost his life, please show some respect.

Obviously there has been a dissagrement but if it matters to you that much why not bicker via private emails instead of clogging up comments for this video.

I feel sorry and upset for Nakagawa's family and friends of his unexpected demise, and ok; he may have been drunk during this press conference, however we all have our demons. No need to slate him or eachother.

I don't mean to rant, but please, show some respect yeah?

[josemezatorrez]

I was going to joke about this but he commited suicide so I wont. Sad situation, we all make mistakes. No reason to end it.

[DdanNdt]

LoL it's the sh*tty questions which were making him sleepy... Poor chap he didnt even realise it...

[kuronukoM]

He declined in a trap politically.

He died yesterday...

The cause of death is unclear.

Politics by the ultraleftist began in Japan. REIGN OF TERROR.

[elchito86]

rip

[monica2345able]

the poor man had a problem drinking. and thus after he resigned from his important political position he was devistated and killed himself. thats terrible. i give my condolences to the man.

[upinurface]

More drunk Japanese at drunkjapanese. com

[apolone1218]

P.I.P...

[mandering26]

Dont return Japan.

I don't sympathize though he died this time. sorry for poor English...

[wing0410]

jap parasites

[vickielindstrand]

sorry to offer a funny news in dark age

[apolone1218]

haha.

im japanese.

HE ROCKS!!!!!

[KataVideo]

no, he's dead. found dead in his home in tokyo. alcoholism is a disease, not a joke.

[Bangsta89]

alchohol didnt kill him..

[KataVideo]

oh please. if he put a gun to his temple, he did it because of alcohol abuse. if he taped his windows shut and lit a charcoal grill, he did it because of alcohol abuse.

[khalithistle]

maybe, but its a disease that can be cured by the subject simply not drinking.  so probably shouldnt be spoken of alongside diseases like aids or ebola. yknow, real diseases

[KataVideo]

wrong, and you're deliberately being a little pig about this. amateur troll, perhaps? keep practicing, you'll get better at it.

Alcoholism is a disease, both physical and psychiatric. There is no cure, there is only control.

If you post again, kindly don't do it as a reply, my dance card is filled with slightly more talented trolls.

[khalithistle]

if an alcoholic stops drinking they are no longer an alcoholic. a propensity for, and a consequent pattern of, self-destructive behavior does not consitute a disease.

alcoholism has no significant physical withdrawal symptoms except in all but the most extreme of cases.

this video doesnt even indicate the guy had a drink problem anyway. he could have simply been severely depressed for years, but turned to drink in his last few months (as people with depression are prone to doing)

[KataVideo]

you're a very stupid and mean-spirited little twerp. it's unfortunate that your view of alcoholism is completely out of sync with Medical Science and Psychiatry. I don't know, maybe you're just a twerpy little troll or maybe you're a religious crazy. post whatever you want but stop replying to me, you're trying to debate matters that were settled decades ago. buh bye

[khalithistle]

way to refute all my points, chuckles

[Vikingaxe1066]

sad he comitted suicide.. the world needs more funny politicians

[acorntechnique]

He's VERY drunk...

[yemail5555]

He need some sleep. If he didn't feel right, he should had that press conference.poor guy.

[Bedalealex]

this is so funny.... Wonder what type of alcohol he took?

[mitsubishi777]

[FutureStudy]

I wish the Japanese people would stop being in denial for the purpose of protecting Japan's image and just admit the fact, he is a drunk idiot.

[tanushinki]

it has to be the longest question in history and the voice of the questioner is so annoying ..im suprised he didnt tell every one to fuck off.. hes so cute weve all felt like this before......

[mystz36]

[FutureStudy]

get over your pride. He admitted he was drunk. He resigned. Idiot!

[seedbanana]

In his giant neighbour country, goverment officials can sleep during meetings/conferences, and without being blamed, or responsible.

[JIAJIA711711]

goddamned japs

[FutureStudy]

goddamn dumb rednecks making the real Americans who are domesticated look bad.

[RedneckResponder]

Real Americans? Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hamiton, et al were Rednecks. By domesticated you mean people who go to school til they are 50 and contribute nothing to the real world? Dan Boone and Sam Butler would smack you in the face if you called them domesticated. I guess you have had all your instincts breed out of you and conform to what ever you are told to do and think like a lapdog which was domesticated from the wild wolf. What a sad life you must live.

[Lamps89]

"the mean people who go to school till they are 50 and contribute nothing to the real world"

and that statement shows why many Americans are embarrassed to be mistaken for rednecks.

[RedneckResponder]

""the mean people who go to school till they are 50 and contribute nothing to the real world""

I didn't say mean people, you need to learn to copy and paste when you quote, that way you won't seem so stupid.

The Americans you meet that seem so "embarrassed to be mistaken for rednecks" are just as bigoted and brainwashed as you are. Everyone wants to be rich but they try to tear the rich man down when they fail to be rich, is this why you degrade Rednecks.

You meant 'he's' not 'his', maybe you shouldn't be commenting on people's intelligence
