Drawing on personal experience, this essay exposes the moral bankruptcy behind sex tourism in Southeast Asia and the Western men who exploit economic disparities.
It further examines how fabricated narratives about “comfort women,” amplified by Asahi Shimbun and uncritically accepted at the United Nations, were weaponized against Japan.
The article argues that the countries leading these attacks are themselves rooted in systemic prostitution and deep-seated misogyny.

NHK broadcasts a program titled “The World Now” every Saturday evening at 6 p.m.
Although I visited Hawaii as many as forty-seven times due to being a golf enthusiast and having grown up by the sea, I virtually never traveled to Southeast Asia.
Put very simply, the reason I did not go was that Southeast Asia was a prostitution paradise.
At the same time, it was poor.
In other words, these were countries where ten thousand yen from Japan amounted to a large sum of money.
Men who exploit such economic disparities and, while staying in poor countries, keep local women at their side like servants are people of an extremely low caliber.
There must be countless people who have seen Western laborers, mainly Germans, staying in that manner at places such as Pattaya Beach in Thailand.
I was never such a fool as to spend my precious holidays traveling abroad merely to lay eyes on equally foolish compatriots.
Nevertheless, through lies that should indeed be called lies, and as I have repeatedly pointed out, for which Asahi Shimbun bears full responsibility, two or three Southeast Asian countries attacked Japan with the utterly false claim of so-called “comfort women.”
That is, they framed their inescapable tradition of prostitution as the work of the Japanese military.
For political reasons Japan paid one billion yen, but from the standpoint of truth, Japan became the first country in history to pay as much as one billion yen to prostitutes.
Radhika Coomaraswamy, who wrote a report at the United Nations condemning Japan in a manner unbefitting a scholar by citing without any verification books written entirely on Yoshida Seiji’s lies and articles from Asahi Shimbun, was herself a woman from Sri Lanka, a country that is not so much a prostitution paradise as one marked by extreme discrimination against women.
It is a stark and undeniable fact that the countries which even now continue to mount absurd attacks on Japan by exploiting Asahi Shimbun’s fabricated reporting are nations that have been prostitution states throughout history and remain among the world’s largest exporters of prostitutes today.
The main theme announced at the outset has strayed far off course.
The main argument will be written in the following chapters.
