This article republishes Shoichi Watanabe’s criticism of constitutional scholars and examines the “August Revolution” theory, beneficiaries of defeat, pro-Constitution intellectuals, NHK’s choice of commentators, Koichi Nakano, Komori Yoichi, the Article 9 Association, and claims about press freedom at the United Nations, criticizing the ideological bias of NHK’s news division as Japan’s de facto national broadcaster.

Koichi Nakano… Komori Yoichi.
The single fact that NHK uses such people as commentators makes it perfectly clear what kind of people are now controlling NHK’s news division.
I am republishing the chapter I sent out on June 7, 2019, under the title: The foolishness of the Japanese state in continuing to allow a national broadcasting station to be controlled by people who are like solid masses of anti-Japanese thought has reached an extreme.
The reason is as clear as stated in the previous chapter.
The following is republished from the book by the late Shoichi Watanabe, which is the greatest book in the postwar world.
Constitutional scholars are rotten with the profits of defeat.
Professors at the Faculty of Law of the University of Tokyo should have continued saying the things I have been saying up to now.
However, if they had said such things, they would have been caught by the purge from public office.
Therefore, Professor Toshiyoshi Miyazawa of the University of Tokyo Faculty of Law advocated the “August Revolution theory.”
The August Revolution theory is the doctrine that, through Japan’s acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration in August 1945, the location of sovereignty shifted from the Emperor to the people, and that the Constitution of Japan was established by the people, who had become the sovereign.
It interpreted the transfer of the location of sovereignty as a revolution in the legal sense.
The root of all evils is this Professor Miyazawa and his disciples.
Among them, pathological pacifists include Professor Emeritus Nobuyoshi Ashibe of the University of Tokyo and Professor Emeritus Higuchi Yoichi of the University of Tokyo.
And what is terrifying is that a constitution based on lies has become the way of thinking of the examiners for the bar examination and the civil service examinations.
This has done the greatest harm to Japan.
In other words, lies became power.
I have actually experienced evidence that many constitutional scholars are frauds.
＊I first came to know the above-mentioned Higuchi Yoichi through NHK’s pro-Constitution programs, or through special programs with content saying that Japan in the past was an evil country.
On Close-Up Gendai, hosted by a certain Takeda, who now looks as if he represents NHK announcers, there appeared people who are entrenched in the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan…
Koichi Nakano of Sophia University, who provides materials to delinquent foreigners who, while thoroughly enjoying life in Japan, a country that is not only the world’s greatest country of freedom and intellect, but also the world’s safest and most gastronomically superb country, send out anti-Japanese thought—that is, articles attacking Japan—to the world.
He is a man whose face makes one wonder whether such a person can really be a university professor.
Then there is Komori Yoichi, whom I learned about below.
The single fact that NHK uses such people as commentators makes it perfectly clear what kind of people are now controlling NHK’s news division.
The foolishness of the Japanese state in continuing to allow a national broadcasting station to be controlled by people who are like solid masses of anti-Japanese thought has reached an extreme…
Left-wing infantile-disease patients who, in order to protect their own control, use people such as David Kaye, the very epitome of a lowlife, to report at the United Nations that there is no freedom of the press in Japan, or that it is under threat…
They act in concert with Takagi, Kaito, Mizuho Fukushima, and others.

The following is the chapter I sent out on October 8, 2017, under the title: Like me, most Japanese people must have known nothing at all about this person either.
The following is the result of searching Wikipedia for a person I came to know through the connection with Rumiko Nishino.
Like me, most Japanese people must have known nothing at all about this person either.
As with Nishino, this is the Japan we have had up to now: people like this have been moving behind the scenes on stages such as the United Nations in order to degrade and damage the honor and credibility of Japan and the Japanese people.
Komori Yoichi, scholar of Japanese literature.
Komori Yoichi, born May 14, 1953, is a Japanese scholar of Japanese literature.
He is a professor at the University of Tokyo.
His areas of specialization are modern Japanese literature and structuralist semiotics.
He is the secretary-general of the nationwide Article 9 Association.
Profile.
He was born in Tokyo.
Because of the work of his father, Yoshio Komori (1926–2008), who was a member of the Japanese Communist Party and a member of its secretariat, he spent four years from 1961 in Prague, Czechoslovakia, which was then a satellite state of the Soviet Union.
In Prague, he attended a Soviet school, directly operated by the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs, exclusively for the children of executives of foreign communist parties, and also joined the Pioneers, the youth organization of the Soviet Union and the communist bloc.
For that reason, after returning to Japan, he struggled because he could speak only in rigid, formulaic Japanese.
(Komori Yoichi Encounters the Japanese Language.)
At the Faculty of Letters and Graduate School of Hokkaido University, he studied under Hideo Kamei.
While in graduate school, he worked as a modern Japanese instructor at the Sapporo preparatory school Hokudai Gakuryoku Zoshinkai, then worked at Seijo University before taking up his post at the University of Tokyo.
His mother is Kyoko Komori, a poet, a director of the Tokyo Council Against A and H Bombs, a director of the Japan Peace Committee, a standing steering committee member of the Association of Poets, and a director of the Association to Protect Japan’s Children.
He also has co-authored works with her, such as I Want to Pass on the Blue Sky as Blue to the Children: A Mother and Child Talk About the Showa Era and the Present.
As a scholar of Japanese literature.
In 1987, he attracted attention through a dispute with University of Tokyo professor Yukio Miyoshi over the interpretation of Natsume Soseki’s Kokoro.
He reexamines Japan’s attempts at Westernization from the Meiji period onward from the perspective of postcolonial theory, including the formation of a colonial unconscious and excessive imitation of the great powers.
(Postcolonial.)
Furthermore, he analyzes colonial elements in modern Japanese literature, especially in Soseki’s works.
(Natsume Soseki, Prophet of the Fin de Siècle; Rereading Soseki, p. 251.)
As stated in the additional note to the second printing of The Modernity of the Japanese Language (Iwanami Shoten), many parts of this book drew on the work of Toshiro Yasuda without annotation, which became a problem.
(Suga Hidemi, Literature of Empire.)
Also, in the lawsuit over the plagiarism issue concerning the NHK Taiga drama Spring Waves, he testified on behalf of NHK as an expert in Japanese literature.
(Reiko Yamaguchi, NHK Criminal Record.)
One of Komori Yoichi’s greatest contributions as a literary scholar lies in relativizing “literature” as a translated concept and practicing “literature” as an indispensable part of historical research.
He also has deep knowledge of the theory of the novel.
As a civic activist.
He is active in lectures and writing, but his activities are not limited to literary criticism; he also makes political claims.
At present, in order to defend the pacifism of Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan, he is involved as secretary-general in the operation of the “Article 9 Association,” which opposes constitutional revision.
He continues to speak at meetings held in various places in opposition to constitutional revision and to the National Referendum Act, which is the procedural law for it, while also actively writing for print media.
(New Year’s Greetings from the Secretary-General of the Article 9 Association.)
He also strongly opposed revision of the Fundamental Law of Education, saying that it would deviate from the spirit of the Constitution and become an opportunity to return to an Emperor-centered state.
In 2004, he became one of the callers for the “National Liaison Committee to Stop the Deterioration of the Fundamental Law of Education” and carried out a movement opposing the revision.
(Dissolved in January 2007.)
In 1998, regarding X JAPAN’s YOSHIKI performing a celebratory composition at the National Festival Celebrating the Tenth Anniversary of His Majesty the Emperor’s Accession to the Throne, he sent an “open letter of inquiry” together with Hidetaka Ishida and others.
(YOSHIKI refused to receive it.)
At the academic symposium “What Is Asia?” hosted by the Oriental Studies Research Liaison Committee of the Science Council of Japan, held on November 17, 2001, he stated that “the 9/11 terrorist attacks learned from Japan’s kamikaze special attack units.”
Tetsuya Takahashi, his colleague, a professor in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tokyo and a scholar of French philosophy, can be called his ideological ally.
(Beyond National History.)
In Postwar Japan Studies 3: The 1980s and 1990s, he made clear that he himself is a Marxist.
