I would say that Emperor dont visit Yasukuni just because of political reasons. You know doing such visit will just hurt the feelings of Koreans and Chinese and it is not good to hurt their feelings because one depend from another and vice versa. This has nothing to do with war criminals because He was visiting the shrine even after the WWII.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH MOST OF YOU?!!!! THIS IS A DAMNED MEMORIAL FOR ALL THOSE JAP SHITWADS WHO CREATED EVENTS LIKE THE BATAAN DEATH MARCH!!! WHO COULD YOU EVEN SIDE WITH THESE INHUMAN PEICES OF SHIT?!! YOU ARE TRAITORS TO AMERICA IF YOU SUPPIRT THAT DAMNED YASAKUNE SHRINE & THE PEOPLE WHO VISIT IT!!!!
FOR ALL YOU BRAIN-DEAD SHITWADS OUT THERE, THE YASAKUNE SHRINE IS A BLATANT SLAP IN THE FACE TO AMERICAN FOR LETTING THE JAP SHITWADS TO HAVE THEIR DAMNED ISLAND BACK!!! THEY NEED TO HAVE MORE A-BOMBS DROPPED UNTIL THEY DESTROY THAT DAMNED YASIKUNE SHRINE!!! AND TA THINK I ACTUALLY ADMIRE THE JAPANESE!!! NO MORE!!! THEY'RE JUST A BUNCH OF CHINK WHORES LIKE THE REST OF ASIA!!!
Wow. I see some brainless retarded Japan lovers here. Are you Japanese who didn't learn proper history or some fucking dipshit foreigner who happens to think Japan is so flawless and golden in everyway?
Japan has done horrible things during war and things there are things that should be said and acknowledged.
every war has war criminals... it's been like that since the beginning of time so close your mouth and pay a visit to the shrine. It's people like u who mislead people to idiocy. War criminal or not we all learn from history, why u bringing up old shit and trying to make video about it? mmmnnn?
Anyway, if Yasukuni issue is so important for China or Korea, they should talk about that before they sigining treaties with Japan, and should demand to include the clause in the treaty that "Japanese statesmmen cannot visit Yasukuni", for example.
But they never insisted to add such clause, when Korea signed to the treaty in 1965 and when China signed treaty in 1972/1978 with Japan. They have enjoied aid money from Japan for a while... and later, started to blaming Japan.
Yasukuni is visited by foreign dignitaries of Asian countries that Japan liberated from European imperialists like Malaysia. Only Koreans and Chinese hate Japan. So be careful when you hear Koreans and Chinse say "asians hate japs" the rest of Asia were happy Japan kicked the white supremacists ass colonising most of asia at the time.
Manchuria was a Russian colony and Korea was a Chinese colony almost being taken over by Russia. Japan never fought Korea in the war, Koreans gave Korea to Japan
I think government officials should pay visits to Yasukuni and place like it because the MAIN reason for it is to honor the soldiers KIA. I know there are a few "war criminals" enshrined there, but as an official of the state shouldn't you pay respect to your men who died for your Country first and foremost? Just cause of few bad apples don't mean the whole barrels rotten.The military is what should come first in every Country, and paying respect to them is a must if you want to get elected.
(워싱턴=연합뉴스) 황재훈 특파원 = 미국 국무부가 27일 공개한 연례 인신매매실태 보고서에 낯뜨거운 한국의 인신매매 실태가 또 한 번 공개됐다.
미 국무부는 인신매매 실태와 관련해 세계 각국 정부의 피해자 보호, 가해자 처벌, 예방활동 실적 등을 토대로 조사대상 국가들을 1등급, 2등급, 2등급 요주의, 3등급으로 각각 분류하고 있으며, 한국은 이번 보고서에도 1등급으로 분류돼 2002년 이후 10년 연속 1등급 지위를 유지했다.
Do you think Korea is free from such human traficking ?
Long live the great yasukuni shrine. When ever I go to japan I make out with the yasukuni shrine. So go fuck ur self. U have no right in getting involved in my countries politics and they have a right to visit any shrine they want when they want.
... nor shall any right, title or interest of Japan be deemed to be diminished or prejudiced by any provision of the Treaty in favour of a State which is not an Allied Power as so defined.
"War criminal" is just an agreement between "Allied Powers" and Japan. And Republic of Korea, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and People' Republic of China are not included "Allied Powers" in the above.
If they claim for visiting Yasukuni, we can say "it is none of your business!"
For the purposes of the present Treaty the Allied Powers shall be the States at war with Japan, or any State which previously formed a part of the territory of a State named in Article 23, provided that in each case the State concerned has signed and ratified the Treaty. Subject to the provisions of Article 21, the present Treaty shall not confer any rights, titles or benefits on any State which is not an Allied Power as herein defined; (to be continued)
@2008venom@2008venom "His majesty?" You sound like you still favors imperial Japan. Why avoid a political argument? Feeling guilty of the wrongs they have done? IMTFE branded the Japanese involvement in the WWII as an act of crime, and sentenced several high Japanese officials to death for their heinous crimes. The evidence is there...in the IMTFE archives. Look it up yourself.
Put on a tampon so you can stop bleeding your lies all over youtube!!
@2008venom 50 years or 100 yrs later there wouldn't be any witness to the atrocities that the Japs committed. This is the goal of the Uyokus, wait until every known witness dies off and then proceed to fabricate real history for their next generation. However, none of this will feat in the faces of those who know the truth.
Bad is bad, justice is needed where it is deserved. Those class A criminals deserve their punishment for their sin on humanity.
Witness ? Chinese Communist Party has killed 70 million Chinese. (40 million by the Great Leap Forward and 30 million by the Cultural Revolution). There are more wittnesses of that, but it is a hidden, forgotten history in China. However, none of this will gead in te faces of those who know the truth.
Bad is bad, justice is needed where it is deserved.
Those communist murderes, like as Mao Zhe Tong, deserve their purnishment for their sin on humanity.
@2008venom Communist murderers? Did the communists rape and kill helpless civilians? Did they deliberately order mass genocides? Did they perform human experiments?
Every country had their dark times. However, that does not excuse Japan's war crimes.
How would you feel if your neighbor came into your house...raped and killed your wife and kids? I much rather starve to death than ending up on a vivisectomy table.
@2008venom Ever heard of mass execution? You don't need gas or nuke to kill. Japanese soldiers round up women and children along with soldiers and machine gun them down like animals. Unit 731 perform heinous human experiments on civilians in order to research germ warfare.
Chinese and Koreans? Don't fabricate stories and twist the facts. Put on a tampon so you can stop bleeding your lies on youtube!!!
@2008venom These historical accounts are recorded in the annuls of history, and needs to be reminded so we don't repeat our mistakes. There are overwhelming evidence for their existence...you just don't want to accept it. Your patriotism toward your country and government blinded you from accepting the truth. Read a history book outside of Japan. You might learn something.
@2008venom What are you barking about? The communist party? This is concerning Japanese war crimes namely the Nanking massacre, Unit 731, and Korean/Chinese comfort women. Please don't tread off topic. Don't give in to the Japanese Uyoku Dentai's fabrications of history. Stop being a troll and read a real history book like I told you. Then we will talk. Until then....get a tampon so you can stop bleeding your lies on youtube.
@2008venom All you are doing is blaming the communists in order to justify Japan's war crimes. Like I mentioned before, this has nothing to do with CCP. What Japan did during WWII is inhumane, and they should issue a formal public apology for their wrongs. The CCP is a separate matter. We are on the subject of Japanese war crimes...not CCP crimes.
As I told you at different entry, there is no evidence that Unit 731 committed war crimes ex. human experiment, vivisection, illegal killing or etc. Actually CCP never claimed about that when they signed basic treaty with Japan in 1972/1978. Unit 731 became famous only after 1980s. They did not insist Japanese statement to not visit Yasukuni.
In the other hand, CCP has enough reason to frame up such anti-Japanese propaganda, in order to shift world's eyes from their crimes.
@2008venom No evidence? The countless books and documentaries made outside of Asia all had substantial evidence and claim. Just look up the reference section of Unit 731 by Wikipedia for proof. Even the notorious history channel made a documentary. You and the rest of the Uyoku Dentai just refuse to accept the fact becuase of your patriotic pride. This has nothing to do with your pride. This is serving justice where it is deserved.
Yes, there are countless anti-Japanese propaganda, including Wiipedia, hitory cannel and etc, without any hard evidence, other than doubtful "testimonies". I am ready to accept those "war crimes" if you can show me hard evidence.
@2008venom There is enough hard evidence from the US archives, the IMTFE, and various Jap war crime museum to keep you up for days. You just simply refuse to accept like most arrogant and ignorant fools. You can dwell in the Imperial Japan's glorious past as much as you want...because you know that Japan will never be able to attain that glory anymore. China has far surpassed Japan in terms of power and economy. Your denile only makes you feel better when China or USA shits on Japan:-)
@2008venom Your logic is really a "venom", dogged insistence and vicious overthroughing of truth with fabricated falsehood. Japanes are unique people who do not know the real history of their country because their historians and leaders hide all the negative aspect of their country.Most cunning people in the world!!! It completely eliminated Manchu, Okinawa from the history and did so many vicious things against Taiwan, Korea, and China. If you continue this attitude, you will get the reward.
Korean population in 1910 was 10 millions, and it increased to 20 millions in 1945, during Japanese rule over Korea. Do you mean millions Korean killed ? Really ?
I'm just asking you approximate number, not exact number.
Native people in Jamaica, Cuba, around those islands were killed 1 million after Spanish conquest.
For People in Aztec empire, 11 million population decreased to 1 million.
They say Nazis killed 6 million Jewish, handicapped, Romas and others in Europe.
If Japanese rule over Korea was one of the most cruel in human history as Korean tells, the number woud be 1 million, 2 million, 3 million, or 4 million ?
@2008venom all of the empires you listed did horrible things...but at least they admit their crimes, unlike japan. You think that japan didnt commit crimes? that is rediculous....japan massacred and tortured any koreans who refused to be assimilated into japanese culture.
many empires did this too, but at least they had the decency to apologize and admit it actually happened. So tell you government to stop distorting history
Yes, you are right. In USA, UK, France, they all learn the colonial history. But during Cold War, USA protected Japan and allowed Japanese conservatives to whitewash history or ignore history of WW2.
So, today, many Japanese have an unclear historical vision, which is also altered by certains aspects of Japanese culture, such as conformism, xenophobia and patriotism.
And Japanese governmnt has finished all procedures "to grant clemency, to reduce sentences and to parole with respect to such prisoners" before the end of 1950's, after obtaining agreement with allied powers.
The power to grant clemency, to reduce sentences and to parole with respect to such prisoners may not be exercised except on the decision of the Government or Governments which imposed the sentence in each instance, and on recommendation of Japan. In the case of persons sentenced by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, such power may not be exercised except on the decision of a majority of the Governments represented on the Tribunal, and on the recommendation of Japan.
The legal base of "war criminal" is San Francisco Peace Treaty, Sep. 8, 1951
Japanese government accepted war tribunals by this treaty.
Article 11
Japan accepts the judgments of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and of other Allied War Crimes Courts both within and outside Japan, and will carry out the sentences imposed thereby upon Japanese nationals imprisoned in Japan. (to be continued)
@basekyu have you seen this video? 【靖國神社】8.15 ピエール・パリゾ騒動の顛末[桜 H21/8/17] what these people at that TV programs say is totally ABSURD. They think the war is for the unity of the people, and everything was for them. Truth is, because Japan couldn't enter European-front, they just simply decided to invade Asian countries and control them. BUT in Japanese textbook, it says we "advanced" to China instead of "Invaded" That's not even euphemism anymore it is a distortion
@basekyu which was only 5 years after the end of WWII. Can you elaborate what were exactly their diplomatic tactics were? and even if it was diplomatic tactics, for god's sake, SO WHAT? they were the VICTIMS. Japanese tried to colonized them and killed hundreds thousands of people. and to be honest, these don't even matter to me. What angers me most is how blindfolded and brainwashed Japanese are. (well I know it is definitely not ALL of them, but there are indeed many of them)
@basekyu oh, I'm sorry. I was on my phone and didn't see your other reply. but I don't get why you are getting so upset about it. To answer your question, "A" is someone who plan/execute aggressive war, "B" is someone who is guilty of war crime per se and "C" is someone who is guilty of crimes against humanity. If my knowledge is wrong, please enlighten me. So what was exactly their diplomatic tactics? I know Korea and China were still recoverying from the destruction due to Korean War,
@spi888 In the video, this canadian dude says, "Do you know that, you would go to Jail if you were German" and people get all mad and someone even yells out "But Germans massacred Jews! we are not like them!" ISN'T THIS JUST TOTALLY ABSURD? what about Nanjing Massacre? What about unit 731? I am just totally speechless how so many Japanese can be so proud of what they have done.
@basekyu WHY are only those two countries criticize? no, rest of the worlds do, they just aren't knowledeged about the matter. How much do you know about swedish history? or that of Australia? You probably don't know much, if not at all. Those two countries were the most severely damaged and hurt by imperialism of Japan. and to cut to the chase, it doesn't matter if it's only 2 countries or entire world. OR if they started criticizing all of sudden. SO WHAT? that doesn't give any of the evil
@basekyu Okay, does it matter if it is only China and Korea or ALL the asian countries? Let's just cut to the chase: There is a shrine where people worship deceased imperial soldiers who have done Nanjing massacre, unit 731, Korean and Chinese comfort women and many more evil deeds. Are you going to tell me that all of those evil deeds are fake and fiction? I don't know if China and Korea really didn't criticized it before 1985, so what? point is, how does that make those evil deeds righteous?
it's a sensitive and complex issue,but personally,i believed it's a wrong Act by visit the Shrine.What would European people think if German leaders were to visit a shrine related to Hitler and Nazis?it just simple like that !
@basekyu We have to bring the measure stick of morality to the validity of Yasukuni's existence, you idiot. The aisans rented already over 100 times. Even if nothing has been said, and found to be agist the sentiments of Asian, it can spur up controversy. You've got it? So, it's a matter of right and wrong, not matter of whether how long and how many rents have been made. The general consensus is that Yasukuni is NOT right..and it's gotta go. GOT IT?
@basekyu you're right, lots of rapiests and mass murderers are worshipped in japan, and thus there are lots of assholes in japan...you maybe one of them.
@basekyu No, the name has to be changed so that there won't be no more shrine called Yasukuni and those deceased be condamned and never to be honored in any form or shpae. Asians asked more than 100 times to get rid of that stupid Shtty shrine...and you going to say why not 200 times. Asians sent very VERY clear message...it's time it's gotta go, japs. Who in the right mined people would worship the rapists and committed brutal killing? huh?
@basekyu Even if there are handful class A war criminals are enshrined, that very nature of it indicates how the modern japanese government perceive its past deed with no guilty feeling, which upsets Asian. I heard about Yasukuni in early 70's even before those criminals were enshrined, so it must have stirred up some controvesy already. The Japanese should extract those criminals and put them somewhere else and change its name...do something..it's NOT OK the way it is now.
@basekyu You have to understand the sentiments of the Asia about Japan; the horrible atrocities and dehumanizing way of treating people by the imperial japs were beyond comprehension and people had been tormented mentally..when people were deeply wounded psychologically, they can not express themselves very well. The Asia was freed from the tyranny of japs by the US and Asians were rescued, not by its own force and that put them on shame as well.
@basekyu That's not true...Yasukuni is hated by all Asian including Thai, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, Phillipine, you name it. Korea and China have expressed many times prior to 1978 that Yasukuni shrine has got to go, but Japanese wouldn't listen.. Korea and China are sick of Japs not listening. Japan will be isolated from rest of Asia if such shrine is kept. Keeping it is against the sentiments of all Asian.
@basekyu Calling Japanese "japs" is not based on race. The word was coined as imperial japanese soldiers did many bad stuffs. I don't think that the world was existed pre-WWII era. You better learn what those word is meant really. I can recommend you a book to read : Rape of Nanking.
@basekyu We have to see whether those imperial japs were morally sound in the context of war; they maybe heros to japs, but they were savages committing rapes and atrocious deeds. If a robber breaks into your house and steal TV or computer and got caught, you may understand, but if the robber breaks in and rape your wife and kill your children, you would not understand it. Even if you are robber's wife, you would you understand your husband's deed? Those japs can't be honored, if you do,
@ZarathuPower you're an accomplice. Those deceased imperial soldiers were agressors, they were not defending from others and died like heros. Those soldiers committed real bad stuff, you don't want to be part of their deeds. Yasukuni shirine should be dismentled into pieces and burn down.
@basekyu You see nobody attacked japan to steal the land, it was japan who was the agressors. If a robber has no food to feed his family break into your house and just steal TV or computer, that is entirely different from the case robber break into your house not only steal the goods and rape your wife and kill your children and burnt down your house. The first is a crime, but latter is a x-rated crime..those imperial japs committed x-rated crimes.
@basekyu You're uneducated and silly. Yasukuni is the place where the very imperials soldiers who committed atrocious deeds are hononed. They may be war heros to Japs, but they are evil people to all asians. That's why it's so controversal every time japanese politican visit there and bow, which mean that the government is not repenting at all. Dismentle Yasukuni even if your king established it...it's got a go.
Japanese, please dismentle Yasukuni shrine. It's time japan transcend from its past wrongful deed and come clean. As long as Yasukuni is present, japan will NEVER be considered as vanguard of justice and peace. Get rid of Yasukuni and come to full reparation of your past deeds. You have been hurt badly by the disasters, so as millions of Asian under your atrocious deeds.
I've been to the shrine and musuem and its not as bad as what people say about it. People are just ignorant because they haven't gone themselves and believe whatever they read on the internet.
@keyinregulus7 I HAVE BEEN THERE AND IT IS WORSE. AR FIRST I WAS GREETED BY 2 MEN IN BLACK SUITS SIMPLY BECAUSE I WAS A WHITE PERSON AND GIVEN A PAMPHLET THAT SAID JAPAN DID NOTHING WRONG IN WW2, THEN THEY TRIED TO CONVINCE ME JAPAN DID NOTHING WRONG IN WW2.
NANKING MASSACRE, UNIT 731, COMFORT WOMEN IN KOREA AND CHINA? NOTHING WRONG?
I WILL ALSO AGREE THAT AMERICA DID WRONG IN WW2, SO SAVE IT, I DON'T LIKE AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY, EITHER.
@bundangbear You must not have gone to the same museum I did. There were no men in suits, only old senior citizens walking around the museum with a couple of kids. The pamphlet I received was at the front desk--consider yourself fortunate that you came at a time when there were greeters willing to save you the trouble of picking one up yourself. What I read on the walls was not so different from what I've learned in textbooks outside of Japan. And why do you feel the need to write in all caps?
Everyone should also go see the video "Japan's Dirty Secret" which shows how Japanese war crimes are systematically whitewashed in Japanese school class rooms & how Japanese are unable to admit any wrong doings bcus admitting any fault is the same as admitting the crimes against humanity committed by their emperor whom they regard as god. For Japanese, covering up their emperor's crimes is more important than admitting their massacre of 20 to 30 million people all over Asia. Disgusting Japan.
Everyone should go & see the video titled "Japanese Right Wing Nuts vs. Canadian". A Canadian man is attacked by Japanese people who deny their Japanese crimes at Yasukuni Shrine. Yasukuni Shine is a shrine for Japanese war criminals where ordinary Japanese go & pray & perpetuate thir dirty lie that they did nothing really wrong when they invaded & killed 20 to 30 million Asians everywhere. This is the sickening face of Japan today that ordinary Japanese still try to cover up.
I've decided to vist Yasukuni and say thank you very much to the people who are there, whoever they are, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean. Thank you for your this nice video. and I gotta say then Bruno Bitter, who is the Vatican ambassador to Japan, said to Douglas MacArthur when he asked him if GHQ should burn off Yasukuni after the war that whatever the reasons, every country has the rights and obligation to exress for the people who died for its country, and this is the everlasting truth. bye
@bundangbear why don't you find the reason by yourself? for example, reading books by Sakurai Yoshiko. You can find the reasons why they don't go there, & it is not the because of Class A war criminals. I guess you misunderstand the meaning of class A, B and C. Anyway, I guess we won't understand each other. Kin Birei, who was then Taiwanese, now Japanese though, made a speech in front of Yasukuni, and in this speech. she said the problems in Yasukuni is the Jpnese people's ones, not others'.
Those who used to go to yaskuni should repent,feel shameful for those there, and believe in a real religion,that is go to church,buddhist temple, or a synagogue. Germany is a true advanced country in all aspects but Japan is NOT. I am not referring to the fact that Japan has to import its e-government system from Korea since it can't make its own.
Bottom line is,that unlike the US servicepeople,those in yaskuni are under no purposes and circumstances considered to be honourable. I know guys who say Raznatovic,Mladic or Milosevic were heroes. In fact, the whole world knows what they were.
@ksr1219@xxzaebd They're ALL war criminals, even the ones "just following orders" and their ilk were the ones enslaving "comfort women" in Korea and raping little girls and cutting off Buddhist's monks' penises in Nanking, and assisting the evil doctors of Unit 731, bringing them Manchu women and children to experiment upon, freeze to death, and dismember alive. Sorry. It's Japanese history.
Yes. It was confirmed in many trials that "following orders" is not a valid excuse in war crime cases. Soldiers are human beings before being soldiers and as such are assumed to have perception of common values. When we were drafted in the army, we were instructed that unjustifiable orders have to be refused.There was a related supreme court ruling in the past.
believing in bad things is one of the main reasons why Japan is being crushed by Korea these days. Japan achieves nothing and doesn't grow;just watch Korea these days. There are 13 million buddhists, 8 million Christians and 5 milliion Catholics in Korea. Japan cannot make things like the S5PV310.
This shows you don't understand the real situation. Japanese righty-wingers consider Dojo Hideki(Japanese version of Goehring or Milosevic) as a kami. This is the same as some neo-Nazis worshipping Hitler,which in itself constitutes one of the most serious crimes.
@ksr1219 Hey son, you have no idea what you're even trying to talk about, any anyone that claims to have the martial arts training you have would never, never stoop to such ad hominem attacks on my viewers.
YOUR ancestors' kami are pissed at YOU. Wrap your head around that one, and show some respect here, son.
I have seen german neonazis who worship paganism but none of them practices worshipping Hitler or Rudolf Hess. Even neo-nazis don't do such things as worshipping war criminals.In entire Europe,there are very heavy penalties if caught doing so.
The Germans don't worship Eichmann,Hitler or Mengele. This is the difference- Germany is a truly advanced country while Japan always wants to isolate itself and is thus not truly advanced. Germany moves on strongly into future; not so with Japan.
But no German politician visits Nazi grave. In Germany, there are schools and places named after Scholl sisters and Colonel Stauffenberg(although he was not as great as Yun Bong Gil who actually achieved a great thing). Mr.Tadic does not visit Milosevic's or Arkan's grave either. So Japanese should stop that practice.
You can find Americans war criminals and horrible sodiers in Arrigton Cemetery who raped and killed Japanese, Koreans and Vietnamese girls and soldiers, and still they are treated as hero. US president visited the cemetery, but still I dont get mad with those presidents. I visited my mother graveyard where there are bunch of robers, rapers, etc. I wonder if Im paying respect to those guys too? Come on guys!!! We are in 2010, nobody in Japan cares about war!!!
@bundangbear I dont know who is uyokudantai. Still I dont really care if people hates Brazilians, as long I share my best example in this world, I know the best Japanese will love me. I have been here since 1990s.
I think today the biggest danger is the comparably latent influence of neto-uyo, who are anonymous Japanese organized on internet and turn out for mass parades. They are probably the most racist and hate mongering bunch out there. The uyoku dantai just make a lot of noise and associated with mafia.
Netouyo look like normal Japanese, don't wear uniforms or drive black buses.
They would not stand one single day in a real army recruit camp. They are simply cowards like the Skinheads. They should be taught a hard lesson at Pine Fall.
@aardvark935 I'm NOT in any way anti-Japanese. And I'm NOT anti-Yasukuni shrine! I think it's free speech. I AM AGAINST ANY JAPANESE LEADERS VISITING IT becasue leaders have a greater obligation to the national good. Visiting a shrine of Class A War criminals is not in the national good. And DO NOT ASSUME I blindly follow the US government, because I do not! I was opposed to the Vietnam war, as well as Iraq AND Afghanistan conflicts. You don't know me, so don't pretend to!
@jaha111 Excuse me? I really appreciate you give me coment in Japanese, but I really get hard time to understand what you mean. You mean, I feel like you're talking detail of language to you, like pig? What does it mean? Do you think you're a pig? Actually, I absolutely it's true though.... Why don't u write me your coment in English coz your Japanese get me complicate.あなたは自分のこと豚だと思ってんの？感心だね～！
People only kick up a fuss over this because Koreans and Chinese do. Who really gives a rat's ass if a Japanese person visits the Yasukuni Shrine? It's like me going to the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar - I'm not going there to worship the arsehole who shot the innocent people; I'm going there to come face to face with the dark secrets in my country's past. How do we know that their specific personal reason for going was motivated by respect? Maybe it was guilt.
@tokee1234567 ...no. i did not mention any war criminals nor told u to respect the political party. Japan did wrong things and as i said b4 they should not praise war criminals however. People had to fight in that war otherwise they would've been killed. So those people who has their grandpa's in that shrine what would they do? They should thank their ancestors for protecting our lives but not the war criminals. Japan should make clear separation of warcriminals and the others.
NOT TO AGREE WITH HONORING CRIMINALS, but there are only around 1,000 of them out of the 2.5 million enshrined at Yasukuni. Many of those enshrined are schoolgirl nurses who died while tending to the wounded. They aren't even all from world war 2, the shrine was erected in 1869 after the Meiji Revolution. Do your homework before ranting about stuff please. All you are doing is making opponents of Yasukuni look like a bunch of angry ignorant loons.
@JaquitoBueno Then take out the kami of the war criminals. I have no opposition to honoring those who were canon fodder for the misguided imperialist "Japanese Empire," but take OUT Tojo's kami. Calling me a loon not only mitigates your argument, it also calls loons many important leaders throughout East Asia, Europe, and the US who oppose having the kami of war criminals in Yasukuni.
@shrimpchocolate Us guys? Don't pigeonhole me, thank you. I was opposed to the war against Iraq since high school, since the very invasion. A lot of lives would have been spared if the US had not invaded Iraq.
@shrimpchocolate Who said Saddam Hussein is a war criminal? George Bush AND George W. Bush are war criminals in my book. They should not have presidential libraries built for them. I don't like Lee Myung-bak, either, nor do I like Ahmadinejad, but I still like Obama, Roh Moo-hyun, and many other great freedom fighters like Che Guevara, Evo Morales, Martin Luther King Jr., Subcomandante Marcos, and Hugo Chavez.
I would say that Emperor dont visit Yasukuni just because of political reasons. You know doing such visit will just hurt the feelings of Koreans and Chinese and it is not good to hurt their feelings because one depend from another and vice versa. This has nothing to do with war criminals because He was visiting the shrine even after the WWII.

Anyway, if Yasukuni issue is so important for China or Korea, they should talk about that before they sigining treaties with Japan, and should demand to include the clause in the treaty that "Japanese statesmmen cannot visit Yasukuni", for example.

Yasukuni is visited by foreign dignitaries of Asian countries that Japan liberated from European imperialists like Malaysia. Only Koreans and Chinese hate Japan. So be careful when you hear Koreans and Chinse say "asians hate japs" the rest of Asia were happy Japan kicked the white supremacists ass colonising most of asia at the time.
Manchuria was a Russian colony and Korea was a Chinese colony almost being taken over by Russia. Japan never fought Korea in the war, Koreans gave Korea to Japan

I think government officials should pay visits to Yasukuni and place like it because the MAIN reason for it is to honor the soldiers KIA. I know there are a few "war criminals" enshrined there, but as an official of the state shouldn't you pay respect to your men who died for your Country first and foremost? Just cause of few bad apples don't mean the whole barrels rotten.The military is what should come first in every Country, and paying respect to them is a must if you want to get elected.

"War criminal" is just an agreement between "Allied Powers" and Japan. And Republic of Korea, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and People' Republic of China are not included "Allied Powers" in the above.

じゃぁ。日本語で。
日本には「死ねば神（鬼）」になる、「鬼籍」に入るという考え方 がある。
靖国神社には神さましかいない。
貴方がどんな神を信じているか知らないが、日曜礼拝に訪れるクリ スチャンを「頭がおかしい」というのは変だろ。
何で日曜礼拝は良くて靖国参拝は駄目なんだ？
どちらも神様なのに？

I've decided to vist Yasukuni and say thank you very much to the people who are there, whoever they are, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean. Thank you for your this nice video. and I gotta say then Bruno Bitter, who is the Vatican ambassador to Japan, said to Douglas MacArthur when he asked him if GHQ should burn off Yasukuni after the war that whatever the reasons, every country has the rights and obligation to exress for the people who died for its country, and this is the everlasting truth. bye

@1010pons I NEVER say that Yasukuni should be destroyed. I just said it is IRRESPONSIBLE for leaders to visit it, under ANY circumstances.
So tell me why the Emperor himself and Royal family ALL refuse to visit Yasukuni?
bundangbear 1 year ago
@bundangbear why don't you find the reason by yourself? for example, reading books by Sakurai Yoshiko. You can find the reasons why they don't go there, & it is not the because of Class A war criminals. I guess you misunderstand the meaning of class A, B and C. Anyway, I guess we won't understand each other. Kin Birei, who was then Taiwanese, now Japanese though, made a speech in front of Yasukuni, and in this speech. she said the problems in Yasukuni is the Jpnese people's ones, not others'.

Those who used to go to yaskuni should repent,feel shameful for those there, and believe in a real religion,that is go to church,buddhist temple, or a synagogue. Germany is a true advanced country in all aspects but Japan is NOT. I am not referring to the fact that Japan has to import its e-government system from Korea since it can't make its own.

Bottom line is,that unlike the US servicepeople,those in yaskuni are under no purposes and circumstances considered to be honourable. I know guys who say Raznatovic,Mladic or Milosevic were heroes. In fact, the whole world knows what they were.
xxwzaebd 1 year ago
@ksr1219 @xxzaebd They're ALL war criminals, even the ones "just following orders" and their ilk were the ones enslaving "comfort women" in Korea and raping little girls and cutting off Buddhist's monks' penises in Nanking, and assisting the evil doctors of Unit 731, bringing them Manchu women and children to experiment upon, freeze to death, and dismember alive. Sorry. It's Japanese history.
bundangbear 1 year ago
Yes. It was confirmed in many trials that "following orders" is not a valid excuse in war crime cases. Soldiers are human beings before being soldiers and as such are assumed to have perception of common values. When we were drafted in the army, we were instructed that unjustifiable orders have to be refused.There was a related supreme court ruling in the past.

believing in bad things is one of the main reasons why Japan is being crushed by Korea these days. Japan achieves nothing and doesn't grow;just watch Korea these days. There are 13 million buddhists, 8 million Christians and 5 milliion Catholics in Korea. Japan cannot make things like the S5PV310.

This shows you don't understand the real situation. Japanese righty-wingers consider Dojo Hideki(Japanese version of Goehring or Milosevic) as a kami. This is the same as some neo-Nazis worshipping Hitler,which in itself constitutes one of the most serious crimes.

@ksr1219 Hey son, you have no idea what you're even trying to talk about, any anyone that claims to have the martial arts training you have would never, never stoop to such ad hominem attacks on my viewers.
YOUR ancestors' kami are pissed at YOU. Wrap your head around that one, and show some respect here, son.

I have seen german neonazis who worship paganism but none of them practices worshipping Hitler or Rudolf Hess. Even neo-nazis don't do such things as worshipping war criminals.In entire Europe,there are very heavy penalties if caught doing so.
xxwzaebd 1 year ago
The Germans don't worship Eichmann,Hitler or Mengele. This is the difference- Germany is a truly advanced country while Japan always wants to isolate itself and is thus not truly advanced. Germany moves on strongly into future; not so with Japan.
xxwzaebd 1 year ago
But no German politician visits Nazi grave. In Germany, there are schools and places named after Scholl sisters and Colonel Stauffenberg(although he was not as great as Yun Bong Gil who actually achieved a great thing). Mr.Tadic does not visit Milosevic's or Arkan's grave either. So Japanese should stop that practice.

You can find Americans war criminals and horrible sodiers in Arrigton Cemetery who raped and killed Japanese, Koreans and Vietnamese girls and soldiers, and still they are treated as hero. US president visited the cemetery, but still I dont get mad with those presidents. I visited my mother graveyard where there are bunch of robers, rapers, etc. I wonder if Im paying respect to those guys too? Come on guys!!! We are in 2010, nobody in Japan cares about war!!!

I think today the biggest danger is the comparably latent influence of neto-uyo, who are anonymous Japanese organized on internet and turn out for mass parades. They are probably the most racist and hate mongering bunch out there. The uyoku dantai just make a lot of noise and associated with mafia.
Netouyo look like normal Japanese, don't wear uniforms or drive black buses.

@aardvark935 I'm NOT in any way anti-Japanese. And I'm NOT anti-Yasukuni shrine! I think it's free speech. I AM AGAINST ANY JAPANESE LEADERS VISITING IT becasue leaders have a greater obligation to the national good. Visiting a shrine of Class A War criminals is not in the national good. And DO NOT ASSUME I blindly follow the US government, because I do not! I was opposed to the Vietnam war, as well as Iraq AND Afghanistan conflicts. You don't know me, so don't pretend to!

今年も８月１５日に靖国神社に参拝できませんでした。東京から遠い為、恥ずかしながら、一度も靖国神社に参拝したことがありません。でも、世界中、どこにいても８月１５日には英霊に対して感謝の念を込めて祈ります。日本に生まれ育ったことにも感謝します。それと同時に英霊、靖国神社に対して偏見を抱く日本人が未だに多く存在することにも残念に思うと同時に、激しい憤りを感じます。日本にいる日本人達が日本の良さに気付かず、母国に対して、感謝や誇りの念を持てないことは本当に恥です。日本万歳！

People only kick up a fuss over this because Koreans and Chinese do. Who really gives a rat's ass if a Japanese person visits the Yasukuni Shrine? It's like me going to the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar - I'm not going there to worship the arsehole who shot the innocent people; I'm going there to come face to face with the dark secrets in my country's past. How do we know that their specific personal reason for going was motivated by respect? Maybe it was guilt.

@tokee1234567 ...no. i did not mention any war criminals nor told u to respect the political party. Japan did wrong things and as i said b4 they should not praise war criminals however. People had to fight in that war otherwise they would've been killed. So those people who has their grandpa's in that shrine what would they do? They should thank their ancestors for protecting our lives but not the war criminals. Japan should make clear separation of warcriminals and the others.
arufa2 1 year ago
NOT TO AGREE WITH HONORING CRIMINALS, but there are only around 1,000 of them out of the 2.5 million enshrined at Yasukuni. Many of those enshrined are schoolgirl nurses who died while tending to the wounded. They aren't even all from world war 2, the shrine was erected in 1869 after the Meiji Revolution. Do your homework before ranting about stuff please. All you are doing is making opponents of Yasukuni look like a bunch of angry ignorant loons.
JaquitoBueno 1 year ago
@JaquitoBueno Then take out the kami of the war criminals. I have no opposition to honoring those who were canon fodder for the misguided imperialist "Japanese Empire," but take OUT Tojo's kami. Calling me a loon not only mitigates your argument, it also calls loons many important leaders throughout East Asia, Europe, and the US who oppose having the kami of war criminals in Yasukuni.
bundangbear 1 year ago
@bundangbear
once enshrined, he can never be taken out.
the reason why tojo was enshrined is that Allies of World War II, which were the enemies of japan, killed him.
that made him a martyr.
tojo should have been executed by japanese hands.
just like you guys let the iraqis kill sadam hussein.

I don't like Lee Myung-bak, either, nor do I like Ahmadinejad, but I still like Obama, Roh Moo-hyun, and many other great freedom fighters like Che Guevara, Evo Morales, Martin Luther King Jr., Subcomandante Marcos, and Hugo Chavez.
