”Know the weight of your words”
- Protest Against Chikage Koga -
#Japan #Insult #Protest #古賀千景に抗議する

On March 11, 2011,
during the Great East Japan Earthquake, the slogan “Ganbarou! Tohoku!” — “Let’s do our best! Tohoku!” — was being shouted everywhere like a rallying cry.

At the time, I was in a state of shock and disbelief, and I found myself thinking:
“Everything has been destroyed by the tsunami.
People have lost everything. What exactly are we telling them to ‘do their best’ at?
What ‘bonds’ are we talking about? The people on the ground are still in a daze, yet people far away are getting worked up on their own.
I wish they would stop.”

Because of that experience, I’ve avoided casually telling people to “do their best” or “hang in there.”

I’ve always felt that those words can unintentionally put pressure on someone who is already struggling.
That said, even though I don’t say it out loud, deep down I still find myself wanting to say, “Please do your best.”
When I want to express my support for the affected areas, those are the only words that come to mind.

I’m not trained for disaster response or emergency work.
So when it comes to recovery and reconstruction on the ground, I can only leave it to the Self-Defense Forces, firefighters, police officers, and local government workers.

That’s why it frustrates me that the only way I can help during a disaster is by donating money.

I want to contribute something meaningful to the affected areas, but this is the limit of what I can do.

From my experience in 2011, I learned that words which ignore the weight of reality can end up hurting people.

In the same way, comments that lightly dismiss or undermine the dignity of Self-Defense Force members and their families also fail to acknowledge the real weight that those people carry.

Just recently, a Diet member made remarks that seriously insulted the families and loved ones of Self-Defense Force personnel.
I strongly protest those comments and will never accept them.

To anyone reading this column around the world, I want to ask:
How would you feel if the people who protect your country and your daily life were heartlessly insulted?
How would you feel if those who work around the clock to keep us safe were mocked and belittled?

Such statements wound the dignity of people who risk their lives to protect others and their families.
This should never be allowed.

Because of this, I try to live every day with the quiet thought: “Please do your best. I may only be able to support you from the shadows, but I will do what I can to help.”

Let’s also do our best — but without pushing ourselves too hard.

”Terrorism Close to Home”
#Japan #CrisisManagement #SelfManagement

Due to my line of work, I frequently find myself dealing with rather shady individuals.

In those moments, a thought often crosses my mind:

If a large-scale terrorist attack were to occur in Japan, how would we Japanese people react and feel?

We only need to recall the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack.
Because the weapon was an invisible poison, no one understood what was happening.
Conflicting information flew around, people had no idea how to respond, and the whole situation descended into chaos.

I sincerely pray that such a nightmare never happens again. And yet...

Every single day, I see "suspicious persons." Even in the quiet rural town where I live, I feel their numbers have increased noticeably.

But here’s the thing:
— What if a "terrorist" is hiding among those "suspicious persons"?

How many people in Japan today actually view the situation this way?
I believe almost none do.

We’ve simply grown too "accustomed" to peace and safety.

Many people seem to cling to a completely unfounded sense of security:

"There’s no way terrorism could ever happen in Japan."

Even those who do feel some degree of concern probably assume that if an attack were to occur, it would target "densely populated urban areas."

So, like many others, they think to themselves,
"There’s no chance of terrorism happening in a rural place like this."

It’s the same old "peaceful daze," I suppose.
And perhaps it’s understandable—Japan is widely regarded as a safe country.

Still, I hope people will keep this reality in the back of their minds:
these days, even children can manufacture bombs by mixing readily available over-the-counter chemicals.

That’s how easily and how close danger has come.

I believe it’s time for Japanese people to seriously reconsider their own crisis management awareness once again.

So that Japan can remain a safe and livable country.

”There is no right answer.”
#Japan #Morality #SNS

Japan has long been a country with a deeply ingrained sense of morality, where discipline and ethics are taken very seriously.

This is something truly admirable that the world can look up to, and I believe it must be preserved for generations to come.
At the same time, however, precisely because of this national character, there is also a dark, intense undercurrent: when someone steps out of line, people will relentlessly bully and ostracize them in the most insidious ways.

Any ordinary person with basic ethics would find it unthinkable to throw a drinking party in an operating room, take photos, and post them on social media for laughs.

I genuinely cannot understand the mindset that finds such behavior amusing.
Yet even so, when I see the sheer glee with which people pile on during these flame wars, I find myself questioning that reaction as well.
Let me be clear: I feel zero sympathy for these foolish medical professionals.

I see this as a harsh but necessary lesson about how the world works.That said, the reason they were so fiercely condemned this time is that virtually everyone instinctively felt, “This is absolutely not something people involved in medicine should ever do.”

It crossed a clear ethical and moral line.
But here’s the thought experiment: if similar photos were circulating as completely normal, everyday content in society, would these medical workers still have been condemned?

And in a world where that kind of behavior is the norm, would that societal atmosphere itself not be criticized as bullying?

I am the type of person who believes that anyone who breaks the law—whether the offense is minor, whether they’re a child or mentally disturbed—should be held appropriately accountable.

For truly heinous, inhumane crimes like terrorism or sexual offenses, I think the death penalty should be carried out swiftly.

However, when it comes to violations of ethics rather than law, judgments seem far more fluid.
They shift depending on the era, the generation, and individual perspectives.
When you start thinking about it seriously, it becomes a profoundly deep and somewhat frightening theme.

Perhaps I’m pondering all this because “abuse” issues—especially those related to education—are so prominent in society right now.

At its root, I believe ethics boils down to something extremely basic—the kind of thing you learn in kindergarten: “Don’t do things that make other people uncomfortable or that they dislike.”

If someone took a photo of me without permission and posted it online with comments like “So scary~” or “Her’s huge~,”
I would do everything in my power to make their life a living hell.

What is truly right, and what is wrong?
What is normal, and what is abnormal?
There are worlds where what is “not normal” becomes normal.
And who, exactly, has the right to decide?

I'm just an ordinary Japanese woman.

I write a column that looks at the world through the real, unfiltered voice of a typical Japanese person — the kind of raw, honest opinions that TV and newspapers would never dare to say out loud.

I promise you won’t regret checking it out. In fact, you’ll probably find yourself thinking, “Huh, I never thought of it that way!”

Go ahead and take a little peek.

From Japan: Natural yellow sand we accept.
Man-made PM2.5?
We fixed it. China? Still red sky of communism.
What do you think?

”A Red Sky”
(Poking fun at the “red” in communism.)
Anti-#communist #leftist

Because of Japan’s geography, early spring always brings those hazy, stuffy, and deeply unpleasant skies filled with yellow sand and pollen.
The sky looks as if it has been dyed yellow.

These are natural phenomena that humanity cannot defeat.
There’s nothing we can do but quietly and stoically accept them.

But PM2.5 is a completely different story.

This is artificial pollution — a problem that should be solvable if we take proper measures.
During our own period of rapid economic growth,
Japan also suffered from severe air pollution that became a major social issue.
Yet the whole country came together, implemented strong countermeasures, and largely resolved it.

So what about our neighbor, China?

Far from improving, the situation has been left to rot.
The elites and the rich are scrambling to flee overseas.
Most people don’t treat the pollution with any real seriousness.

They just complain, “Oh no, this is terrible,” and then some even come out with absurd ideas like “Let’s just blow it all away with giant fans.”

They bash Japanese products and companies like crazy,
yet the air purifiers that sell the most are Made in Japan.

The reason?
“Because they’re reliable.”
What the hell is that supposed to mean??
You idiot!

The yellow sky is starting to look red to me — as if the malice itself has become visible.

But at this point, I’m no longer angry.
I just feel stunned, pathetic, and deeply sorry for the whole situation.

Is this because I’m Japanese?

We don’t hysterically cry or scream.
We don’t take it out on objects or animals in such ugly, foolish ways.
Even when facing serious problems, we accept them calmly.
At the ordinary citizen level, we carry a sense of responsibility and live earnestly, solemnly, and modestly.

It’s because we Japanese have long “coexisted with nature” that we can handle things so “naturally.”

I’m really glad I was born Japanese!

The national environmental standard: 35μg/m³
In May 2026, 46μg/m³ was recorded in southern Kyoto.

A reality that’s surprisingly little known...

【In-Depth Analysis of Japan's National Intelligence Council】
#国家情報会議　#スパイ防止法　
#NationalIntelligenceCouncil　

The National Intelligence Council Bill has passed,
and the leftists are making a huge fuss about 'personal information!' and 'privacy!' but that's just dust, not the real issue.

This is about preventing Japan's true global weapons from being easily taken by foreign entities.
The personal information the leftists are whining about is just dust.

Japan is the 'secret boss' in semiconductors.

You've probably heard about it, but Japanese companies are overwhelmingly strong in ABF (Ajinomoto Build-up Film) and photoresists.
Without them, TSMC, Samsung, and Intel can't produce cutting-edge semiconductors.

And even beyond that, 'this' with nearly 100% global market share is incredible:
"Lasertec Corporation's EUV Mask Defect Inspection System"

This device detects particle-level anomalies (one-billionth the size of dust) on semiconductor masks.
Without it, it's now impossible to find defects in the most advanced semiconductors.
Lasertec in Japan has nearly 100% of the world share in this field.

The National Intelligence Council is the absolute minimum mechanism to protect these 'foundations of the nation.' As things stand,
even if a Japanese company's exclusive technology is leaked to foreign spies or internal perpetrators, there are almost no concrete penalties, and even prosecution is difficult.

Isn't it far more dangerous for the technology that supports the lives of our citizens to be completely stolen?

Ultimately, what I'm trying to say is that the personal privacy that those idiotic leftists are making a fuss about is such a simple, obvious thing that it's not even worth getting agitated about.
Japanese technology operates at a level one-billionth the size of dust.
For forces truly aiming to dismantle the nation's foundation, commoners' personal information is just a superficial pretext; their real target is technological outflow.

The National Intelligence Council is starting almost too late.

Let's use this to spark a serious debate on anti-espionage measures and protect Japanese technology and pride!

Don't underestimate the Japanese!

“On ‘Amending the Constitution’ in Japan”
#ConstitutionalAmendment　#Japan

Recent discussions among prominent figures regarding constitutional revision　have been quite heated. It's unclear if it's genuinely gaining momentum,
but there are many passionate individuals on both sides.

If you observe these people closely, you'll naturally understand their common intentions.

Although I'm speaking as if it's someone else's problem,
I do have my own thoughts on the matter.
However, I won't reveal whether I'm for or against it here.

I simply believe that "Article 9" and "self-defense rights," which are at the center of the debate, are merely the "ostensible reasons" for the revision.
It's hard to express, how should I put it?

Even if a revision proposal passes and leads to a national referendum,
would we, the Japanese people, choose to become a military state again?

Of course, peace is important, and we must absolutely prevent wars that inflict suffering and sadness upon people.

However, if missiles were launched from somewhere, and our surroundings became devastated, could we endure it?
If innocent people became victims of war like in
an indiscriminate terrorist attack, could we think, "It can't be helped"?
I absolutely, definitely couldn't.

This time, I've deliberately brought up an extreme example like "Article 9."
But as I vaguely mentioned at the beginning, there are also "cancerous cells" that erode from within.
Article 9, this "beautiful reason," is merely a "surface
shield."
Behind it, there are people who would find themselves in an extremely inconvenient position if the constitution were revised, leading to "terribly unfavorable things" beyond Article 9, and thus they are trying to avoid that.

You probably know who they are, but I'll leave it to your imagination here.

What I want you to bear in mind is that "constitutional revision" doesn't just involve Article 9.
What is this talk of "protecting the peace constitution"?
Those who advocate this are not "protecting" the constitution but merely "using" it.

We must not allow the left-wing to run rampant.
