Megumi is an abandoned lady from her mother country Japan. Hundreds of others are the same... Japan is crazy.

It is absolutely horrible what happened to this girl, but you make a good point. I'm surprised North Korea didn't insist upon a public apology from Koizumi for wartime atrocities as terms for the repatriation of some of the Japanese abductees. Plus, Japan's handling of the issue is suspicious at best. It was big political bonanza for the incumbant party at the time. There has also been heavy criticism of the forensic analysis by Japanese scientists of Megumi's alleged remains.

I am a fan of Japan of PP&M from old times. I saw this performance of Paul in Japan. I felt the human nature that loved Paul's person strong. This is wonderful work to exceed music. Thank you Paul!!!!

I am so glad to be able to watch this movieThank you so much!

As a Japanese, I have no word how Pauls work is meaningful to Megumis family and us. I just wish peaceful days comes to all North-korean people as soon as possible and also to families who are victims of politics between Japan and North-Korea.

This is sad but absolutely hypocritical since Japan abducted 4.5 million Koreans and forced them into slave labor including sexual slavery. Japan getting worked up over a few abductions when Japan committed far greater atrocities which they still haven't fully owned up to makes Japanese hysterics over Megumi nonsensical. Mind you that Japan is the ONLY country in the world that allowed trade, tourism with NK which would have been unimaginable for US and SK.
