How Media Manipulation Keeps Japan Shackled as a Political Prisoner
A critique of media-driven opinion control revealing how false narratives are used to confine Japan politically on the global stage.

Just now, a news teaser appeared on NHK television stating that conductor Yutaka Sado was conducting Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in Austria.
Hearing this, I thought, “Has this man actually conducted the Vienna Philharmonic?” and watched the program.
What it showed, however, was that he was merely conducting an orchestra and chorus that no Japanese person knows, and most likely no one in the world knows either.
A friend commented, “It must be a civic orchestra.”
To begin with, I had never held a favorable impression of this conductor.
What suddenly made sense to me was recalling a Sankei Shimbun article stating that when Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for the first time, spoke at the United Nations about what truly needed to be said—that is, the actual facts and the truth—the first to raise a voice in opposition was an Austrian female committee member.
She represented the forces that have long believed and echoed the lies of the Asahi Shimbun and of South Korea and China—forces that wish to keep Japan permanently confined as a political prisoner.
In reality, these people are nothing less than criminals.
In other words, the spies of South Korea and China who have infiltrated NHK have guided Japanese public opinion through such subtle and insidious methods.
Realizing this, I also understood why I had never been able to feel any goodwill toward this conductor, who constantly exudes the very scent of what are called “cultural figures,” indistinguishable from those very forces.
