  • Nationalism MUST return to the western world, or we shall surely perish.

    Rise up my European kinsmen, vikings, holy knights, strike back at the beast of internationalism that seeks to enslave us all. Our leaders are leading us to a multicultural, consumerist hell-world, we only have a few decades left to resist. Fight back!

  • @Sinekyre14

    Last time people fell for this sort of pseudo-heroic revisionism, some incidental little club that called themselves the National Socialists were the result. That lead to a local spat since dubbed "WW2".

    For fuck's sake, is it possible to combine such an overwhelming sense of personality-entitlement, opinionated arrogance and appalling ignorance any more pathetically than with this kind of wishful-feudalism?

    Reality and history are not computer games, you moron.

  • I have to respect Mishima-san. He was willing to die for his ideology. He was right about the "Westernization" of Asia (specifically Japan). He not only warned Japan, but the world. No one at that time wanted to listen. I bet everyone wishes they would've listened to him now....

  • @AlHajjMalik01 - well that's the problem, we are still largely infected by those who wouldn't listen to that still to this day.

  • @AlHajjMalik01 what westernization? pop-culture? american pop culture is everywhere even in middle east (where america is war at. TODAY)

  • and western pop culture has influenced in your country doesn't mean your country is "westernized". i can name few asian countries that are really westernized countries like hong kong, singapore etc (having western name, having western language as their official ones etc). i call that a westernization. pop culture is only hobby. and we don't even have western songs in our top music charts. IMO japan is one of the countries that keep a lot of it's culture...

  • his butt buddy messed up cutting his head off.

  • Mī iaseiū aina magjavedižu prā Yukio Mishima; Mishima asti magista!!!

  • i dont care if he was homosexual or not. he was a great person and his fight against americanization of the planet was so right as we can see nowadays. everywhere you turn is nothing but glittering trash, useless. HAIL MISHIMA !

  • idk but i think if mishima should do this the JSDF should maybe not practice the bushido these days. Mishima is a big part of the military for Japan.

  • Tribute - on November 25 (1925-1970) suicides YUKIO MISHIMA , famous Japanese author

  • those who worship nothing more than money cant understand what he says. yeah you, americans.

  • respect for this greath bushi

  • if you wanna understand what he was about read hagakure. he was slightly misguided, maybe, but someone who stood for something, and he deserves respect for it.

  • Hello.

    If any needs a copy of Yukio Mishimas last speech before his suicide, I would be happy to send you a copy from Henry Scott Stokes biography. Just send me a message.

  • @ppashi there's probably some cause and effect between the guilt he felt about dodging WW2 and then dealing with that fact for the rest of his life, culminating in him playing soldier and killing himself.

  • He was a Homosexual

  • @Jackthemeat but he found the cure.

  • Useless fact: in terms of hair and shirt style, he was roughly 30 years ahead of his time.

    Japan, Japan, Japan. /me shakes head. Listening to Murakami talk about Akutagawa and tiptoe around the problem of Mishima was a seriously eye-opening experience.

  • nationalism is cancer...their is no superior race..

  • As a Chinese who vehemently opposes present-day China and its post-49 culture-I wish there is such a figure born in China,but the chance is so remote that is million time against China which is rotten deep in the bone.

  • not all of japanese soldier are bad there are also good in them.. they just figth in what they believe in and for there country also... i always watch kamikaze in youtube here in my house... farewell jap's brave soldier!!! i hope philippine is also have a spirits like jap's did in WWll... sayonara!!! (^_^)

  • not all of japanese soldier are bad there are also good in them.. they just figth in what they believe in and for there country also... i always watch kamikaze in youtube here in my house... farewell jap's brave soldier!!! i hope philippine is also have a spirits like jap's did in WWll... sayonara!!! (^_^)

  • Most hate commenters here are either racist or homophobia! Screw you haters, he's dead, but he achieved more than you all ever could.

    Mishima's works are full of intellectual beauty. He might be kind of extreme but he was a great man after all.

    Also he is among the reasons I donate money to Japan :x

  • Fraud isn't the right word. A man like Mishima is a complex creature, full of contradictions. I am sure if his coup had succeeded he would have taken the consequences seriously. But it could never have been, and I am sure that deep down he knew that. He had a death wish, a deep seated desire to die with honour because he knew he had cheated death at the end of the war. A successful coup would have confirmed that he had done enough with his life; when it didn't all he could do was die to atone.

  • Apparently he was only 5ft 1in, one day someone told him that he was a little shit so he went and killed himself

  • the nuclear disaster today is horrible, he would have been against those plants.

  • i am a firm communist, but i deeply respect Mishima. he defended the pride and honor of Japan until his death, and especially with his death, really showing to be a man of honor and strenght. the last ronin in his own way.

  • @fullmetaljaco

    ironically, Japan became one of the most communistic regime so that even today's correspondent from Russia describes it 'almost similar as the former Soviet regime'.

  • who's he ?

  • @Jamo6ful He as a brillant Japanese patriot, he tried to revive Japans National Honor and killed himself in puplic when his ideas were rejected. He talked the talk but unlike alot of others he also walked the walk. He was the real thing, I respect that..quite a man!

  • @Gloomshadow1 oh! thank you for your explanations.

  • "Multiculturalism destroys culture"

    One people....

    One leader.........

    One country...........

  • A true patriot and nationalist.

    He lived and died for his ideals, and for his nation.

    Liberals, cosmopolistanists, and other people who oppose a national awakening, and a national conscience should take heed, that our kind will always exist.

  • Mr Miyagi is his grandson.

  • why would he want to learn english if he doesnt want to westernize

  • @shagingmaster35

    To tell his own opinion to people over the world.

  • @aaaaaaaaaaakkki touche, he was a passionate showman after all, a showman needs an big audience.

  • A new Japan needs more Mishimas!!!!

    Banzai Great Japan!

  • any Japanese soldier in here would be an honorable person. so, if anyone was in Hong Kong awhile back on leave, then try to help if you saw this female in the city>>>"Tourist missing in Hong Kong: help find Ani Ashekian 1/7 "

  • Comment removed

  • I believe they edit out the ... "FUCK YOU WHALE AND FUCK YOU DOLPHIN!!!!"

  • Japanese people are successfully brain washed for 65yeas after the war. His worry has come true in 2010.

  • @hachan007 what are you talking about?

  • mishima1970: I don't agree Mishima ideas, but there are too many racist comments here, so you should desable comments to this video

  • @fukumimisohoni

    Vivid. P.S faggots traditional English food with gravy and inside the meatballs you get nicely cooked onions! Nice. You can also mix them with foreign food say for example hot noodles chicken flavour very nice.

  • @fukumimisohoni

    Is this an american speaking? Because in that case I understand the deplorable use of vulgar language and bleakness of the ideas which said vulgar language conveys, Otherwise, like I said before, you`re just wrong,

  • Yukio Mishima, crazy homosexual who didn't want to get old and would do anything not to including suicide.

  • @Crime1234management

    You`re so wrong, my dear friend. SO wrong.

  • @Ancestralwish

    Italy. Looking through rose coloured glasses. Don't waste your time on this man

  • Mishima Yukio should have been  japanese prime minister

  • @yoshisuke4u

    賛成。

  • @yoshisuke4u He wanted Japan to have faith in in the emperor again and make the emperor have supreme control over the military and government again

  • I read Confessions Of A Mask and I loved it, then I read Temple of the Golden Pavilion and Sun and Steel. I came to realize that he was basically just intellectually jacking off when he wrote.

  • A very brave and patriotic man.

  • One of the greatest writer of all time,it's from Spring Snow to The Decay of The Angel where you'll find him. On his final day,he had finally arrived at a place where there was no memory. Wish you were still with us to enrich our hearts and souls with your writings.

  • A hero for Japan, an example for humanity.

  • interesting

  • He is a genius,super genius. However, we cannot say that a genius can be a best leader.

  • @no1kiyoko

    nah he`s lame

    only english and japanese language

  • @UncleHobbysHobbys

    The knowledge of more than one language is not a requirement to be a genius or a leader. The only lame thing that I can read is your answer (sorry).

    Just read more and find out that a lot of (supposed?) genius and leaders have never used more than their own mother language.

    P.S. I don't think that mishima have been a "genius" or capable to be a great leader (somewhat he have been a leader).

  • @trueliarx

    there are no genius in this world.......

    only overrated brats who did nothing for this mankind take the spotlights.......

    and still it goes on

  • nationalists, the scourge of the earth

  • @ktxed

    You dont see as far as your nose. While being blind, you step on the beautiful flowers and you blame the nationalists for it.

  • @royaliste2000 /join #care

  • 評価が414で非常に高い.

  • It may be insane for your american eyes full of poop

  • @ktxed How eloquent you are. It makes me wish to here more from you.

  • Very beautiful and intelligent man. He was a true Nationalist for his country and loved his people. He wanted his fellow Japanese to do the same. He said and did what so many were afraid or too brainwashed to see. His suicide was his protest against Japan becoming westernized. Don't let him die in vain.

  • @PanFascist85 - This guy was a fucking maniac.

  • @PanFascist85 Please! He's vain and self-obsessed. Nationalism was a vehicle for that, no more.

  • @PanFascist85

    Mishima might have presented his death in this way but it's almost certainly not what it was about. He lied about having TB to avoid the draft at the end of WWII, and seppuku was almost certainly atonement for this. He should have died in battle for his emperor, but instead he was driven mad by an empty and meaningless existence as a writer and actor with a confused sexuality. What is beautiful is that in the end he found the courage that he must have doubted he possessed.

  • @reyrFuaP: I find your comments interesting. Do you believe that his life was essentially a fraud? He seems intelligent and has thought out many of his opinions.

  • @PanFascist85 - This is what happens when an idiot with too much money has too much free time on his hands.

    ha...his OWN army...costumes, heh, heh..

    where are they now?

    working at McDonalds, mayhap?

  • @PanFascist85 cultural exchange is inevitable. what is the point of not being influenced by the Western? such an isolationist idea is very dangerous.

  • @KYUNGILNAM I think he is concerned with one-way influence which translates into subjugation of the influenced. Exchange should be mutual, but unfortunately in the West has been rather imposing than 'sharing'.

  • @PanFascist85 god bless you man for your fantastic comment. but understand me: a person could be nationalist and proud of his nation, story, heritage and roots without beeing fascist. i can be nationalist without be fascist... of course always against the reds ideology.

  • 革命家だよ!腐った日本を革命するために死んだ。

  • Nuclear Weepons. haha at least he says nuclear better than george bush does. It makes me mournful that the USA never got to have an emperor or king.

  • gad the guy must be a genius to learn such a difficult language (to an Asian) as English and speak it fluently.

  • ITS THE CURSE OF THE MISHIMA BLOODLINE!!!! (tekken)

  • @otterboxiphone

    u chinese are cowards.

    delete accounts and get a new one...repeat it.

  • @otterboxiphone dude. u guys lost Badly! blah blah blah, its 2011 it happened over 50 years ago, GET OVER IT!!

  • I doubt he goes militalism,and have to agree

    he goes Switerland's syrtem.

  • from what I've read and seen about Mishima, he's a very contradictory person. I can't help but to have some kind of admiration for him, he definitely believed in something.

  • Notice how all nationalists end.

  • @auntiesanity

    dead like the rest of us?

  • @OrTheThirdPerson The manner, my friends... the manner.

  • He looks awfully western for a japanese nationalist. Those uniforms are definitely not traditional japanese. He's talking about the swiss national service etc. Bizarre

  • If anyone has seen the cartoon Code Geass you'll note that the uniforms Mishima's men are wearing are similar to the uniforms worn by the Nationalist forces in that show, specifically the tunics with the rows of buttons.

  • All the guys in his army are so HOT! lol

  • whats wrong with having a private army? the man was living the dream. there are no ligit armies anywhere.

  • Japanese are so cool

  • it wasn't a frickin private army

  • You my friend are rather ignorant. Let me guess, you're either a liberal moralist or a reactionary left winger ... probably the latter. If this should be the case then I'm not surprised by your lack of common sense, childishly naive way of thinking and the slogans which I would attribute to an enthusiastic 16 year old.

  • You friend,,go, and moralise to deltapunk21

  • @PAULLONDEN: Truth be told you at least expressed a view manly regarding politics, deltapunk21 on the other hand seems to be the stereotypical youtube idiot that trolls everyone by calling them "fags" and believes he's making a point.

  • @PAULLONDEN

    He never talked about a regression of his country but the respect for the main traditions that have been different from the americans one.

    He lived in a modern western-like way despite what you think.

    He was just a patriotic man like there are in quite all countries.

    If you search patriotic the USA are the first country that are (ab)using such term.

    Why do you mix the Muslims (religious people!) in an ignorant manner?

    Please don't write random sentences.

  • @trueliarx

    "Patriotism"...."The Last Refuge Of The Scoundrel"(Samuel Johnson)

    That's the way all dictators come to power.

    He looked like a facsist in his sexy little uniform.

  • Fuck USA and fuck your idea of "democracy"! Pay respect and learn from a great man and a deep literate like Mishima!

  • You fucking weak. I will let you know right now your Japan is a "Japana". It is a political realm for you to extend power through your mind and thoughs. It is a very clear that, that is the kind of Japan you seek, unilateral polarizism through a Bouguise identity and English Imperial Worship. I will say that efforts to strengthen the War Defense is always great and honorable, but you will see that China is apart of the family as you've always known.

  • jeez why does everyone hate america. just hate the government, not the people.

  • @ paranormalpunk562

    Very true. Vitriolic anti-Americanism tends to be the only unifying force for many countries nowadays. (Esp. multi-cultural Canada). First define what you are on your own terms, not on the Imperialism of another.

    I love America.

  • @paranormalpunk562 But don't Americans vote for their govornment?

    Didn't Americans vote for G Bush jnr ...twice,the worst leader in the history of modern politics?

    Isn't America the country that is currently invading the middle east for no reason other than oil?

    Isn't America currenty imitating the German WW2 nazi regime in almost every way?

    It's just a thought but maybe that's why the rest of the world hates America.

    Have a nice day.

  • @paranormalpunk562

    I hate the governments but .... somebody have voted them ... don't you think so?

  • For these English and American guys everyone who loves his country is extreme nationalist.They held half of world in their hands and now they are like''saints''or something. I h8 USA and England,long live Japan!

  • Those around him was too weak ... to realize what he was goning to make happen.

  • He was too weak ....to realize what he wanted to happen..

  • I admire Mishima's courage and substance. How many people these days actually are willing to surrender their lives to make a point? Having said that it appears that Mishima was overly obsessed with the idea of dying young much like a kamikaze pilot. Hence he did not have the necessary patience to steer Japan's political will to the right. Although he is long gone, I suspect that he would be happy if he were alive to see that Japan is finally moving to the right.

  • dlhhpc, i)U.S. will not sacrifice its people for Japan and hence Japan should re-arm herself; ii) can any country survive a nuclear war?; iii) North/South Koreas and China will never be equal to the U.S. military...just look at the history of say last 100 years. Koreans and Chinese lack military tradition and history.

  • Dlhpc, you are not a logical thinker. China has a very weak military history/tradition. However you are wrong to state that China has not invaded outside of its own borders: Vietnam and Tibet immediately come to my mind. Further China is a threat to the democratic Taiwan. Let China bark, the truth is that China's economy is heavily dependent on the U.S. whereb if the trade was to cease between these 2 countries, China would be ruined.

  • Dlhhpc, China is a threat today despite their lack of military accomplishments for the following: i) China is earning lot of foreign reserves by selling cheap products to the U.S. (Americans should not allow this to happen); ii) China has a chip on its shoulder from getting its ass kicked throughout history; iii) China and North Korea appear to be the only Asian countries which seek to use their military in aggressive manner.

  • Dlhhpc, I see that you no longer have any substantive points to make, sayonora, chinaman!

  • DLHHPC, China will never dare to attack Taiwan as long as U.S. is willing to stand behind Taiwan. U.S. doesn't even have to get involved militarily...U.S. can just cut off trade with China which will force all Chinese to become farmers again, LOL!

  • @18seki Not true.

    America ows so much money to China that all the Chinese have to do is call in America's debts and suddenly it's the Americans who are reduced to farming and travelling by horse and cart.

    American politicians have betrayed the American people and now you owe the rest of the world trillions of dollars.

    Your country is now owned by China and Saudi Arabia and apart from assasinating your politicians there's fuck all you can do about it.

  • DLHHPC, if and when China ever becomes a developed country (perhaps in another century or two), Chinese will realize that the Chinese Government is intentionally inflamming its citizens with Rape of Nanking and other manufactured events to control its own population. Just look at North Korea which is using the same strategy. Wake up, communist puppets!

  • DLHHPC, China definitely has an inferiority complex and even you cannot deny it. After all China got invaded by a much smaller Japan and it took the American military might to drive Japan out of China.

  • Dlhhpc, would that be the same comics and cartoons which are regularly shown in China and South Korea? Koreans and Chinese have not developed anything original of their own since the chihuahua soup and comfort women!

  • its true that japanese tv cartoon programs r popular in china but then since china computer media is in a earlier stage of development & hv 2 catch up with world standards! its just we wonder why the figures look like white people then japanese?

  • Dlhhpc, so you admit it's Chinese who copy Japanese animation! By the way chracters in Japanese animation is often depicted as race-neutral (white or Japanse) due to the following: i) many stories take place outside of Japan; ii) it's easier to sell the animation overseas. Capice?

  • You are never great if u do not consider the circumstances of your time, someone great considers the past, present and future.

    While I admire this guy's blatant courage, I can also make a mockery out of his actions. Haha

  • Yukioは例である

  • Japanese constitution should be changed as soon as possible to counter the threats of China and North Korea. Mishima is a great Japanese patriot who was several decades ahead of his time. He was also a great novelist, by the way.

  • Intelligent, articulate. Admirable and refreshing. I first read Mishima 30 years ago between Orwell and Arthur Machen. His diction is great also. How many English speaking people can speak another language with style and grace.

  • @minutegongcoughs  I had no idea he spoke such excellent English.

  • He sounds like Borat? Hoohoho! I would love to hear u trying to speak in japanese!

  • It's amazing how NOT extreme right-wing he sounds in todays terms...

  • saluti romani camerati

  • what a Jack, what a cool man!!

  • fascinating thank you

  • "Borat"... yes-it'nearly 40 years ago... times are changing and some things may get as strange/surreal/whatever

  • quite good. thanks!

  • thanks a lot for this clip. I've rated it too, fear not.

    Anyway, I think the interviewer is somewhat misinformed when he classifies Mishima's unique brand of nationalism as "right wing". It touched me too see how common sense his words were; he made perfect sense despite not speaking perfect english.

    Thanks again, and keep the coming.

  • Arigato!

  • Thanks for sharing. I hope you do put up more of what you have. Fascinating stuff.

  • Thanks for this interview. If you have more Mishima clips, do upload! Thx
