Lost in the Wrangle: Justice for Comfort Women - WSJ
I'm terribly upset due to this article. The article says that the Japanese comfort women for American troops are volunteers. This sounds as if America is innocent, because the Japanese comfort women volunteered by their will. But, Korean and Chinese comfort women for Japanese military are poor victims.
What the F@$#!!!
Why do you think the Japanese comfort women had to volunteer for such hard jobs? They wanted to volunteer without any reasons?
It was because American troops raped Japanese women everywhere!! The Japanese comfort women volunteerd in order to protect their sisters!!
This article also misses the point that vast majority of comfort women for Japanese military during WWII are Japanese, not Korean or Chinese. The author should have written this article in order to blame Japan. He should want to broadcast bad images for Japan. If he doesn't evenly describe the fact what American military have done before, I will call him a racist!
By the way, recently, 122 ex-comfort women sought Korean government for compensation. It might be surprising for you, but they were comfrot women for U.S. military during Korean war. I have not found an English news source yet, but I put the link for Google translate from a Japanese news below:
Original "U.S. military comfort women" 122 people sought compensation in the country in Korea in harsh under the control of the group sued the government "human rights violations" - MSN Sankei News
Are you surprised at this news? If you are not familiar with what U.S. military have done before, you should read the western princess article on Wikipedia.
Dear WSJ, are you really innocent enough to blame Japan one-sidedly?
Update:
I found the news source from Asahi: http://www.asahi.com/english/articles/AJ201406280035.html

Truth of Yasukuni
Recently, the prime minister Shinzo Abe visited Yasukuni shrine. Lots of media criticized his visit. For example, Washington Post criticized that the prime minister visited the "war shrine". However, it's not true at all.
Actually, the name Yasu-kuni stands for "make the country peace." People visit Yasukuni shrine in order to pray for peace! Not for war!
Indeed, people labeled as war criminals are also laid to rest there. However, Japanese people don't regard them as heroes just as Korean and Chinese government say. We pray in order to cleanse their spirit not to repeat the war again. The worse the spirits are, the more we should pray for them. This thought sounds strange for you, but it's a style of Shinto. See "Harae" article in Wikipedia for more information.
As praying not to repeat the war again is a good thing, vast majority of Japanese people don't criticize the prime minister's visit to Yasukuni. Left wings only do!
The concept of Harae is not familiar to those who live in other countries, left wings use it for political purposes and intend to misinform the people so that they criticize Japan. Japanese left wings are strongly connected to Korea and China, they act in order to benefit those countries. Their intention is to attack Japan. For me, they seem to increse tention amongst Japan and its neibours. They must desire war.
The article seems really strange for me, a bog-standard Japanese, because we do not call the Japan army as the imperial army. The latter term is popular amongst China and Korea. Japanese people know that the emperor was not a central character of the war, but the Japan army made use of the emperor. So, people other than left wings don't use such a term.
Please do not deceived by such negative propaganda. Japanese people really want peace of the world.

Is She a Comfort Woman? No, She's a `Yanggongju'
A Korean media recently published an article, which title means "They Cried, Japan Must Apologize." Follwoing link is the article.
프랑스서 울려퍼진 절규··"일본은 사과하라"
In case the article is withdrawn, please refer to a snapshot.
In this article, Kim Bok-dong went to France and told how cruel Imperial Japanese Army did to her, comfort women, during Korean war. ("한국전쟁" means Korean War.)
Hey, hey! This is very odd! Korean War happened after the World War II! At that time, Japan did not have any army. Japan was occupied by USA from 1945 to 1952. Of course, Japan was disarmed. Korean war happened from 1950 to 1953. Japan didn't send its army into Korea at all!
Is Kim Bok-dong telling a lie? I guess it's yes and no.
Korean army also had a comfort woman system during Korean war. If Kim Bok-dong was really a comfort woman, it's highly possible that she was a comfort women of Korean and US army, not Imperial Japanese Army. See the Wikipedia article for more details: Prostitutes in South Korea for the U.S. military
She might be really a victim as a comfort woman, however the victimizer should not be Japanese Army, but it should be Korean and U.S. army.
Prostitutes in South Korea during Korean War are called "western princess" or Yanggongju (양공주 in Korean, 洋公主 in Japanese). They were initially called "comfort women" officially.
If you are not familiar with comfort women problem, please do not mix "comfort women" done by Japan during WWII and "westerm pricesses" during Korean war. The victimizer of "comfort women" is Japan, but Japan was totally irrelevant to "western princess" at all.

Is Your Web Site Safe? Beware Korean Cyber Terrorists!
BENJAMINS, an Italian design gadget shop released a iPhone case with a vintage Japanse flag. You can see the design of the case in this news post. (Korean)
As I wrote in the previous post, the rising sun flag is just a national flag of Japan. However, Koreans uglily engage in a negative campaign against the rising sun flag.
BENJAMINS became a victim of it.
Koreans blamed the rising sun flag and sent lots of e-mails for protest, but their claims were not granted. BENJAMINS firstly attempted to convince Koreans and said that the design of flag was not a problem. However, it was failed. Koreans cracked BENJAMINS' web site and modified it. What a terrible act it was! It's a cyber terror.
Finally, BENJAMINS withdrawn the product and released a statement to apologize to Koreans. BENJAMINS defeted by the terrorists. It's an extremely sad episode.
You can see the whole story of this terrorism act in the following YouTube movie.
Korea is a country of cyber terorism. I recommend you to block .KR domain and IP addresses assigned to Korea right after opening your web site. Revenue from Korea will be minimal anyhow. It's one of the most practical ways to protect your web site from cyber attacks by small cost!
You can see how silly Koreans' claim is in the following YouTube movie.
We should not allow such cyber terrorism.

Is Rising Sun Flag Really Like Nazi Flag?
The short answer: NO!
While South Korean people are criticizing "Rising Sun Flag" like below:
However, assuming the rising sun flag is equivalent to Nazi flag is terrible fault.
Why?
The Nazi flag is a symbol of Nazism, which is, needless to say, a bad notion. Nazism is bad, thus The Nazi flag is bad too.
On the other hand, the rising sun flag is completely irrelevant to militarism or imperialism. The rising sun flag is just a national flag. More precisely, it's an alternative design of the national flag of Japan. It's just a variant.
It's true that the rising sun flag was used as a military flag. But, isn't it common that an army employs the national flag of its home country?
The rising sun flag is really really irrelevant to militarism. It's derived by the country name. Nihon, a Japanese name of "Japan", stands for "the place where the sun rises". Why? It's simply because Japan is located at the very east tip of Asia!! The sun rises from east, Japan is the place where the sun rises. Thus, the rising sun flag is symbol of "the place where the sun rises". It's totally irrelevant to militarism. By the way, the normal Japanese flag, Hinomaru, stands for "the rising sun" as well.
The design of the rising sun flag was popular amongst people in Japan far before WWII, even before it was declared as Japanese national flag in Meiji era.
Why the hell is such an old-line flag equivalent to symbol of Nazism?
If a person thinks so, (s)he would be match either of following conditions:
99 percent of such people are Koreans. What poor people they are!
Dear brilliant people, please do not believe South Korea's anti-Japan campaign. It's completely false.

Don't Trust Korean Media
It's all about fake, fake and fakes! Recently, South Korean newspaper printed the worst photoshop ever.
Do you think such media trustworthy? I don't think so. I recommend you to be extremely careful when you see what they say!

Watch Out!! He is a Fake Japanese.
My gratest dislike is that Korean people often pretend to be Japanese and do bad things. After a sad, horrible and unforgivable terror at Boston, a fake Korean uploaded a terrible video on Youtube.
I've been outraged after watching this video! So awful! So ugly! We should not allow such irreverent speech!
Look at his profile. You will see he announces himself as "I am Japanese!" Please do not believe! He should be a Korean! Do you think that I'm just speculating it? It's unfortunate for Koreans, but I have good indications of it.
The first indication is that his icon "was" Tai Chi mark, which is really similar to the national flag of South Korea. After a while, he changed his icon on Youtube. Refer to this image.
The second indication is his comments. Refer to the following captured images:
These comments are what he (takoyaki200812) has done on other videos on Youtube. His comments are typical anti-Japan, applause to Korea. He's highly possible to be a resident Korean. I translate some of his comments written in Japanese for you.
Hey Korean, stop false impersonation!!
Update: The original video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by kim min song. It's Korean name!! You can watch the backup video as follows:

"俺達有権者は日本が韓国に対して行った犯罪を真摯に反省する首相を選ぼう。"
We should elect a prime minister who sincerely regrets what Japan has done against Korea.
"日本は戦争を放棄しているのだから独島は諦めよう。"
As Japan accepted renunciation of war, Japanese should abandon Dokto.
"日本史だと東北にはアイヌが住んでいて、
そこに征夷大将軍が何度も軍を送って征伐したとなっている
つまり、今東北にいる人たちはアイヌではないから、入植者ということになる
そこに地震が来た
これは天罰ではないだろうか"
According to the Japanese history, Ainu people lived in Tohoku area.
Shogun repeatedly sent his army there, and conquered them.
As those people who live in Tohoku area aren't Ainu, they are colonizers.
The earthquake hit there.
This should be punishment by God.
(Note that he mistakes the history. Ainu people lived in Hokkaido area.)
"日の丸は帝国主義の象徴
ハーケンクロイツと同じだよ"
The flag of the Rising Sun is a symbol of imperialism.
It's just like Nazi flag.
"一言で言えば、不十分 新しい韓日関係を構築したいと言いながら、謝罪や賠償は明確にせず、村山談話を踏襲しただけ 自民党政権時
のような、挑発的な態度をとらないことだけは、評価できるが、せっかく政権交代したのだから、慰安婦問題の解決、そして胸腺連行被
害者である、在日コリアンへの補償を明確にすべきだった"
To recap, it's insufficient. While they say they want to establish a new relationship between Korea and Japan, they have not promised any apologies nor restitution.
They just follow Murayama's discourse. I value that they have not behaved provocatively against Korea, however, even they achieved change of administration,
they should have promised resolution of comfort women problem and restitution for resident Koreans, victims who were forced to come Japan.
"日本人は下品だからね
東京はセックス産業であふれている
外国で恥をかく
しかも他人のせいにして反省しない
韓国人のせいにするな"
Japanese people are bawdy.
Tokyo is filled with sex workers.
They will disgrace themselves in foreign countries.
In addition, they blame others and do not reflect on.
Do not blame Koreans.
"安倍晋三は極右的な小泉政権のあと、比較的その路線を否定した柔和政策をとったと思ったが、自民党が野党に転落し、保守票がどうし
ても欲しくなって、今のような保守層に媚びる政治家になってしまったことを残念に思う
韓日関係をこじらせているのは、謝罪を不要とする保守層であり、彼らは東アジアに蔓延する病原菌である"
After a extreme right-wing Koizumi administration, I thought Shinzo Abe took relatively mild policies which controverted the previous administration, after the Liberal Democratic Party turned out to be an anti-administration party, they seemed to need conservative supporters. I'm sorry that he seems to be a politician who try to gain conservative-wing's favor.
Who complicate relationship between Korea and Japan are those conservative-wing people who insist no apology is justified. They are the sick men of East Asia.
Hey Korean, stop false impersonation!!
