This article, dated April 28, 2020, criticizes the attitude of K-1 organizers and pachinko parlor operators who ignored official requests for cancellation and closure during the Wuhan virus crisis. It questions Japan’s postwar constitutional system, the media, and the silence of opposition parties, treating the issue as a grave matter concerning the lives of the Japanese people.

April 28, 2020
The outrageous attitude of the K-1 organizers and pachinko parlor operators is equivalent to their saying, “We are not Japanese citizens.
We will not obey Japanese law.”
The following is from an article published in today’s Nikkei Shimbun under the title “Pachinko Parlors That Do Not Obey Closure Instructions: Economic Revitalization Minister Says Penalties May Be Added through Legal Revision.”
This column has mentioned that on March 22, despite repeated requests for cancellation from the governor of Saitama Prefecture, K-1 was forcibly held at Saitama Arena with as many as 6,000 spectators, and that this led to the expansion of the number of infected people up until the day before yesterday.
It has also mentioned that NHK has not reported this at all, and probably the Asahi Shimbun is the same.
Today’s Nikkei article was also a small article, but I thought the following.
The outrageous attitude of the K-1 organizers and pachinko parlor operators is equivalent to their saying, “We are not Japanese citizens.
We will not obey Japanese law.”
But is that purely their own will?
Are the intentions or instructions of their homelands, North Korea and South Korea, at work?
Are they aiming for a repeat of the case in which infections surged two weeks after K-1 was held on March 22?
In other words, is their attitude not itself terrorism by North Korea and South Korea?
The sales of pachinko parlors have flowed to North Korea.
In addition to those funds, North Korea has promoted missile development through the efforts of North Korean residents in Japan who are scholars in fields related to nuclear power and rockets, including an associate professor at Kyoto University.
Such a state of affairs is unbelievable, and at least in the advanced countries of the world it could not exist.
But this is the reality of the Constitution of Japan imposed by GHQ.
This is the reality of Japan brought about by the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, and others that have continued to degrade Japan on a pro-China and pro-Korean line.
The world, too, will be astonished and indignant at their attitude.
In the postwar confusion, in the midst of the Korean War, Syngman Rhee pushed the war onto the U.S. military, arbitrarily drew the Syngman Rhee Line, seized Japanese fishing boats, and killed Japanese fishermen.
The captured fishermen were confined by the dozens in extremely narrow spaces, in accordance with the tradition of the Yi dynasty Korea.
The Japanese government at the time accepted Syngman Rhee’s outrageous conditions in order to save the fishermen.
It released several hundred murderers and others who had been arrested and imprisoned in Japan, and granted them permanent residency.
Who can say that among them, including the visitors to those establishments, there are no descendants of such people?
That is how grave the evil deed was.
Their actions are equivalent to murder.
This is not merely a serious criminal act, but an act equivalent to treason against the state.
In their homelands, they would surely be arrested immediately, and depending on the case, punished for serious crimes including the death penalty.
In China, all the more so, they would all be arrested and detained, and punished for serious crimes such as treason against the state.
Why is it that, in response to such serious criminal acts being carried out openly, no voice of indignation, which is supposedly the only true field of the opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party, is being raised at all?
Why are Fukuyama, Tsujimoto, and Fukushima raising no voices at all now against the most vicious criminal acts?
Why is it that the Asahi Shimbun, which attacks the Abe administration to an abnormal degree with fabrications such as Morikake and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Party, and NHK, which follows along with it, raise no voice of anger at all in response to serious criminal acts that concern the life and death of the people?
Far from raising a voice of anger, NHK calmly broadcasts the voices of users defending pachinko parlors.
International society, this is the true nature of the Asahi Shimbun and NHK, which you have mistakenly believed to be Japan’s good sense.
Through this article, you should now know perfectly that no newspaper company or state broadcaster like this could ever exist in any advanced country other than Japan.
In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that you have been completely ignorant about Japan.
At a press conference on the 27th, Yasutoshi Nishimura, minister in charge of economic and fiscal policy and revitalization, made clear that if cases become frequent in which pachinko parlors and others do not comply even when local governments issue closure instructions under the Special Measures Act, he is considering establishing penalty provisions through legal revision.
Under the current Special Measures Act, there are no penalties even if instructions are not followed.
In Osaka Prefecture, there have been successive cases in which pachinko parlors continued operating even after local governments publicly announced the names of facilities and requested that they close.
There is a possibility that such movements will spread to other regions as well.
The state of emergency declared by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe lasts until May 6.
Toward the long holiday period, the government has set a goal of reducing person-to-person contact by 80 percent and aims to further suppress the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Within the government, there were voices of concern that pachinko parlors could become new clusters for the spread of infection.
