A 100-page manuscript written by former Asahi Shimbun reporter Hiroshi Hasegawa is worth far more than its 890-yen price tag.
Drawing on eight months of exhaustive investigation into current and former Asahi employees, he exposes ideological dogma, fabricated comfort women narratives, and the dishonesty behind NHK’s so-called program alteration scandal.
Praised by Noriyoshi Hanada, this work reveals the true nature of media corruption in postwar Japan.

Simply reading the 100 manuscript pages written with all his might by former Asahi Shimbun reporter Hiroshi Hasegawa makes the 890-yen price worth dozens of times over.

“Even just reading the opening dialogue feature and the following 100-page manuscript written with all his might by former Asahi Shimbun reporter Hiroshi Hasegawa makes the 890-yen price worth many times over. I strongly recommend rushing to a bookstore and purchasing it.”
Here, I introduce to people around the world an article written about Mr. Hiroshi Hasegawa when Noriyoshi Hanada, who served as editor-in-chief of Weekly Bunshun and other publications, interviewed him for the February issue of the monthly magazine WiLL and published it across 22 pages.
The Asahi Shimbun is an agitprop leaflet, and inside the Asahi newsroom there swarm “Pavlov’s dogs.”
Within the Asahi, there swarm “Pavlov’s dogs” who automatically regard anything labeled the “former Japanese military” as evil.
The “comfort women” column by Asahi Shimbun editorial writer Kiyotai Kitabatake is a disgraceful column.
The “Coomaraswamy Report,” promoted by Asahi Shimbun’s Yayori Matsui, is a worthless and harmful document.
The so-called “Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal,” which pronounced a death sentence on Emperor Showa.
The Asahi Shimbun’s “program alteration report,” which claimed that Shinzo Abe and Ichiro Nakagawa pressured NHK when it tried to report on this tribunal, was likely embraced with excitement as a double opportunity to attack Abe and Nakagawa.
To then substitute this with an issue of public broadcasting and politics and use it to bash NHK is despicable.
I do not call the organ of “great cause” a newspaper.
I believe a newspaper’s role is to expose the true nature of that so-called “great cause.”
The organ of “great cause,” meaning Asahi, is nothing but an agitprop leaflet.
None of the above was written by just anyone.
It was written by Hiroshi Hasegawa, one of Asahi Shimbun’s most capable reporters, a veteran journalist who continued on-site reporting even after reaching retirement age.
Angered by last year’s false reporting scandal over comfort women, Hasegawa stopped working for Asahi and spent eight months thoroughly interviewing current employees and alumni.
This is the conclusion he reached.
A book titled Collapse: Asahi Shimbun will soon be published by WAC Publishing.
Excerpts from it and an interview with Hiroshi Hasegawa are published across 22 pages in the February issue of WiLL, released on the 21st, and I strongly urge readers to read it.
You can clearly see just how deeply the Asahi Shimbun has been poisoned by communism.
A close friend of mine who read the 100 manuscript pages written with all his might by Hiroshi Hasegawa for the bimonthly magazine Rekishitsu, which Hanada praised in this way, groaned in admiration, saying it was extraordinary.
Every Japanese who has not yet purchased it should go to a bookstore and buy it for 890 yen.
For just 890 yen, you can encounter a genuine labor of truth and come to know the reality.
