A single line on a subway advertisement revealed far more than a crime.
It exposed a structure that weakens a nation from within.
In January 2016, I whispered to my friend beside me:
“You are the real culprits.”

Once again, the weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun has begun a scheme to weaken Japan’s national strength, displayed inside a subway car.

“The culprits of the ‘killer bus’ that stole the future of 13 university students”

This was not merely a vile and despicable article attacking Minister Amari. It was wording taken from a hanging advertisement inside a subway car for the current issue of Shukan Bunshun, which has once again begun a scheme to weaken Japan’s national strength.
Upon seeing it, I murmured to the friend beside me:
“You are the real culprits.”
At the same time, just like the media led by Asahi Shimbun and the so-called cultural figures, they are completely unaware that they themselves are the true culprits.
And they always believe that their own hands are perfectly clean—truly incorrigible people.
Not only that—the reality is that they are traitors themselves.
So I murmured again to the friend beside me.
