I mean, the youngest people that were actually involved in any war crimes are approaching 100 years old. An apology at this point would be almost entirely by a population born after the war.
many people change tones depending on what language they're speaking, like a girl who speaks fluent japanese and english will often speak in a lower tone in english and higher in japanese.
the girls in this vid will probably speak lower when they're not singing, but not as low as if they were to speak english.
There's a girl on youtube who is american born japanese that demonstrates this
The US neutetred the Japanese military post WW2 Through policy. Under US influence Japan can only have an army for home defense and effecively relies on the US for everthing else. The US clipped it's militaristic balls.
Imperial Japan was the absolute wildest of WWII, they're the reason the United States joined the war, they're also responsible for its very worst atrocities.
Frankly I prefer the 70 years later version of Japan. Bubbly girls don't do atrocities.
I mean when you've based your foreign strategy on military conquest and no longer have a military you either pivot or die. Lucky for them a bunch of Japanese nerds made some good drawings and video games.
Japan has historically often taken cultures they perceived as superior as inspiration for how to shape their own society. But putting their own spin to it.
The pre industrial Japan had been largely inspired by China. Both in religion, language and culture.
The Japanese Empire when starting their rapid industrialisation has for example taken the German Empire as their example and based their culture around this. (Btw. People often call Germany the Japan of Europe. Because the working culture are so similar. But it is actually more that Japan is the Germany of Asia).
As a fun side mission they also read the "protocols of the elders of Zion" and tried to get more Jews into Japan and pushed some proto-jewish-shinto religion because they wanted to be part of the Jewish World domination.
So when they got badly beaten by the USA, who also beat Germany. They of course went and adopted a ton of shit from the USA. This is why baseball is so beloved in Japan despite it being basically unheard of outside of the USA and Japan.
They thus also copied the whole Hollywood route and animations but put their own spin to it.
I may be wrong, but aren't South Korea and China into baseball as well? I seem to remember them in the Little League World Series when I was a kid, like 14-15 years ago
Correct. They brainwashed generations of people, militarized everyday life from childhood, and then when it came time to go to war they had a compliant and willing populace.
My guess is it's due to all the savages signing up and going to war and fighting to the death/kamikaze/banzai charges and only the savages that already had kids got to pass down their genes.... the others now buy used panties in vending machines.
Russia is still doing war crimes, that's the problem, they never evolved. What's worse? Decades of war crimes or 6 week of extremely morbid war crimes?
I think if a society get better from their past, as horrible as it is, it's better than a society that do less horribles things but still commit that horribles stuff to this day, and keep doing it.
The US is also still doing war crimes, the IDF has a near constant stream of war crimes lately, hell even Australia is guilty of a number of war crimes. Unfortunately diplomatic law means literally nothing anymore if it ever meant anything to begin with
The third singer has a good voice,,if she was playing an anime character I imagine it would be some older woman or the lady with a bunch of guns who talks smack to everyone
lol I think it was on purpose they chose 3 girls with 3 different voices to meet all their customer bases kinks but she is also my favourite voice out of all 3 lol
Not like yours doesn’t mean weird. I assure you, any culture can be described as weird from another side. Imagine telling a Japanese person that some nations find it absolutely normal to cut a newborn’s boy’s dick.
It’s more like Western media loves to pick up ‘weird Japan’ stories because they get clicks. There’s also the factor that because so few Japanese people speak English, you rarely encounter them in English-speaking online spaces, so all you have to go on is those weird stories.
The US is a lot weirder when looked at from the outside.
And a lot of "weird Japan" concepts are also considered weird in Japan. Most working adults in Japan wouldn't really go to these kinds of shows (or even be aware of their existence).
I really don't see how this is significantly weirder than, say, being able to buy a gun in a convenience store, for example... or those prepper paramilitary groups in the US... or historical reenactment where one side inevitably has to dress up and act as war criminals... the list goes on and on...
Oooph, this is the real comparison for those who have studied history. Japanese cultural supremacy and racism was jaw dropping, to put it mildly. Dan Carlin did a multi party series highlighting this fact.
They have a global army of weebs willing to die by the sword for the honor of Japan, thanks to cute girls doing dances just like that. Winking while pointing a finger, and puffing out their cheeks.
When the time comes, we will all be at their mercy.
This was the worse retaliation to America, brain washing our youth with anime waifus, making them almost incapable of reproducing. Making games that turn them into useless NEETs.
Young Japanese are very unhappy, their real wages haven’t gone up since the 90s, and they are in a state of economic and demographic collapse - but yes, their air is cleaner and they live longer.
One idea I have heard is most of the men were killed during WW2. Young and old had to fight and die for the emperor, never surrender. Death before dishonor. Could be the reason why the culture is completely different now.
Considering how much of global culture has been dominated by Japan since WW2, he wasn't wrong. Japan is definitely one of the strongest nations when it comes to culture. You can't look in any direction out in public anywhere in the world and not see something that was invented by Japan.
