This article looks back on the response to earlier posts published in April 2019 and introduces an online article concerning Tsujimoto Kiyomi’s arguments for abolishing the Imperial system, Fukushima Mizuho, Shin Sugok, Haku Shinkun, local voting rights for Korean residents in Japan, and anti-Imperial-system movements.
It discusses the historical value of Japan’s Imperial House, Imperial diplomacy, friendship with Bhutan, and the political and ideological issues surrounding arguments for abolishing the Imperial system.

Speaking of the Constitution, I am now called a “defender of the Constitution,” but to tell the truth, I think Articles 1 through 8 are unnecessary.
I have always said that the Imperial system should be abolished.
A chapter in which I posted an article I found online under the title “Tsujimoto Kiyomi and Fukushima Mizuho Represent Typical Anti-Japanese Thought of Koreans Living in Japan” ranked 21st in the official hashtag ranking for Bhutan on April 9, 2019.
Another chapter, published on April 6, 2019 under the title “But Such Things Are Directly Connected to the Unpleasantness of the Emperor and That Family, Are They Not?
Will the Imperial System Disappear?” ranked 9th in the official hashtag ranking for Bhutan.
And today, in the official list of hashtag-ranking articles under #Bhutan,
“Tsujimoto Kiyomi and Fukushima Mizuho Represent Typical Anti-Japanese Thought of Koreans Living in Japan”
has ranked 21st.
The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
● Democratic Party lawmaker Tsujimoto Kiyomi argues for “abolishing the Imperial system.”
In Tsujimoto Kiyomi’s book Kiyomi Suru de!! Shinjinrui ga Fune o Dasu! published by Daisan Shokan, she makes the following hate speech against His Majesty the Emperor, the symbol of Japan.
Tsujimoto Kiyomi and Fukushima Mizuho represent typical anti-Japanese thought of Koreans living in Japan.
“Do you not feel a physiological aversion?
Those people, or rather, that system, that family—I do not want to breathe the same air near them.”
“They try to impose life lessons and morality.
But such things are directly connected to the unpleasantness of the Emperor and that family, are they not?
Will the Imperial system disappear?”
“Speaking of the Constitution, I am now called a ‘defender of the Constitution,’ but to tell the truth, I think Articles 1 through 8 are unnecessary.
I have always said that the Imperial system should be abolished.
Abolishing the Imperial system, making a woman prime minister, and abolishing the Security Treaty—these three things would enable Japan to change course greatly.”
“In the normalization of diplomatic relations with North Korea, which should be prioritized over the resolution of the abduction issue, postwar compensation will arise.
Japan has not made any compensation to North Korea for having once colonized the Korean Peninsula and even taken away its language, so it is only natural.
Without making that part of the same package, it is not fair to say only, ‘Return nine or ten people!’”

Shin Sugok, a third-generation Korean resident in Japan who supports Tsujimoto and advocates Okinawan independence, said while referring to herself, “Is it so easy to be attacked not only because one is Korean, but also because one is a woman?
Tsujimoto Kiyomi is the same.
Fukushima Mizuho is the same.”
In this way, she stated that Tsujimoto Kiyomi and others, too, are easily attacked because they are Korean and women.
▼ Kichijoji was thrown into commotion by a certain group’s demonstration calling for the abolition of the Imperial system.
On the 3rd, the “June 3 Demonstration Executive Committee Against the Imperial System,” whose main body is the leftist group “Anti-Imperial-System Movement Liaison Council” calling for the “abolition of the Imperial system,” held the “Return of the Demonstration Against the Imperial System” around JR Kichijoji Station in Musashino City, Tokyo.
In addition to the more than one hundred people mobilized by the Anti-Imperial-System Movement Liaison Council, the town was thrown into commotion by several hundred riot police, security personnel, public security officials, and members of right-wing groups protesting the demonstration.

Is this group an organization of Koreans living in Japan?
Countries with royal houses are respected as countries with history, and Imperial diplomacy helps foster friendship between nations.
Princess Mako also went to Bhutan, deepened friendship with the king and others, and increased the number of pro-Japanese countries.
It is said that many Koreans, out of jealousy, dislike the fact that Japan has an Emperor.
Europe has many royal houses with venerable histories, but even so, their histories are only a few hundred years old.
There is no royal house in the world that has continued for 2,600 years, and Japan has the authority of the world’s oldest royal house.
This is also a factor recognized by Europeans, who are particular about status such as royal houses and aristocracy.
● Democratic Party lawmaker Haku Shinkun aims to grant local voting rights to Korean residents in Japan.
The 214th Press and Citizens Seminar hosted by the central headquarters of Mindan was held on the 26th at the Korean Central Hall in Minato Ward, Tokyo, and Democratic Party Diet member Haku Shinkun gave a lecture on how friendship and goodwill between Korea and Japan should be.
After serving as head of the Japan bureau of the Chosun Ilbo, Haku ran for the House of Councillors in 2004 as a proportional-representation candidate officially endorsed by the Democratic Party of Japan at the time.
