Masayoshi Son, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and the Renewable Energy Institute: The “Japan Has Become a Criminal” Remark and the Double Tongue of the Anti-Nuclear Movement

Published on July 15, 2019.
This article republishes a chapter originally sent out on April 17, 2018, critically examining Masayoshi Son’s statement that “Japan has become a criminal,” Ryuichi Sakamoto’s “It is only electricity” remark, the Renewable Energy Institute, the anti-nuclear movement, and their relationship with Korean companies. It also records the author’s own account written from a hospital room during a life-threatening illness, including online attacks, search obstruction, and reverse-SEO damage.

Ryuichi Sakamoto, who said “It is only electricity” at an anti-nuclear rally, has his name listed among the officers.
The following is a chapter I sent out to Japan on April 17, 2018.
This time, while sending the English text to the world, I also urge Japanese readers to read it again.
The following is a chapter I sent out from the hospital room where I had been hospitalized for seven months after suffering a serious illness and being told that my chance of survival was 25 percent.
In the original text, the pen name I was using at the time was written, but this pen name, to which I had a deep attachment, was also subjected to an unbelievable attack on Google’s search pages by a criminal with the DNA of the country of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies.”
The criminal created more than thirty handle names and used a method that was itself criminal, called reverse SEO measures, by pasting The Turntable of Civilization onto his own blogs filled with unbearable, unsightly slander and vulgarity, in order to lower my search results.
As a result, what had at one moment produced more than twenty million search results, with chapters in not only Japanese but also various languages appearing across all pages in the order of popularity of their contents, was one day suddenly reduced to less than one hundredth of the number of search results, and from page one to page ten of the search results, slanderous and foolish blogs were lined up.
Our company’s lawyer urged me to file a criminal complaint, saying that this was an obvious crime, including obstruction of business, defamation, false accusation, and so on.
After I left the hospital, I filed a criminal complaint.
The police station with jurisdiction complained quite a lot, saying, among other things, that they had too few personnel dealing with the internet, but fortunately, because there was a young detective who was also knowledgeable about the internet and PCs, they entered into a formal investigation.
At that time, the criminal in question had been imprisoned after being arrested in a case in which he had defrauded a certain bank of a large sum of money, so I believe the record of questioning was prepared in prison, and he admitted that everything was his own act.
Nearly three years after I filed the complaint, the case finally reached the Osaka District Public Prosecutors Office, but as I have already written, the Osaka prosecutors did not indict.
At that time, I deeply regretted that I had lived as an unknown person.
The reason is that it is a well-known fact that if I had been a famous person, the Osaka prosecutors would have indicted.
Around that time, when famous actresses such as Masami Nagasawa suffered similar damage on the internet, the Osaka-based criminal was indicted a year and a half after the complaint was filed.
Blogs were created under handle names with plus signs inserted between the parts of my pen name, and people also impersonated my original pen name at Turkish baths in Ogoto, Shiga Prefecture, and adult-entertainment establishments in Gotanda.
I felt that this had gone beyond all limits, and my anger seemed to make my hair stand on end, but since I changed my pen name to the current Nara Haruo, I have rendered the places where the previous pen name appeared as “I.”
A little while ago, when I was watching TV Asahi news…

Honorific titles are omitted in the text.
What Masayoshi Son said in his keynote speech at the Global Green Growth Summit held on the 20th at the Seoul Lotte Hotel was, unbelievably, “Japan is a criminal.”
He said this in South Korea, which, even after Fukushima this time, has decided to continue its own nuclear-power policy and promotion of nuclear-power exports.
In an instant, I felt something similar to the discourse about Japan that covered Japan immediately after the end of the war.

“To the Japanese People: A Nation Without Pride Will Perish,” Komuro Naoki.
Masayoshi Son, you should read this book immediately.
At the same time, a prime minister who can be instantly taken in by a person who makes such remarks should be dismissed at once.
There is no longer a moment to lose; they are traitorous scoundrels rarely seen in Japanese history.
The following is from page 202 of the book Treasonous Bureaucrats, which I introduced in the previous chapter.
Anti-nuclear groups, Korean companies, and SoftBank.
If the damage caused by the earthquake and tsunami was beyond expectation, the reconstruction budget also reached an unexpected scale.
Reconstruction projects involving both the public and private sectors were to begin, and amid this, the Renewable Energy Institute was also established.
According to the foundation’s website, it was established for the purpose of aiming for a society that shifts to renewable natural energy, but what kind of organization is it?
When I looked at the list of officers on the website, I found the names of Masayoshi Son, representative of the SoftBank Group, and the musician Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Masayoshi Son, who said “Japan has become a criminal” at the Global Green Growth Summit held in Seoul after the earthquake, serves as its representative, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, who said “It is only electricity” at an anti-nuclear rally, has his name listed among the officers.
Chairman and founder: Masayoshi Son, President and Representative Director, SoftBank Corp.
Councilor: Ryuichi Sakamoto, Representative, More Trees General Incorporated Association, from the Renewable Energy Institute website.
It is a well-known fact that Ryuichi Sakamoto has been involved in the anti-nuclear movement.
It is said that Masayoshi Son, the representative who welcomed Sakamoto as an officer, had a strong belief in abandoning nuclear power.
His statement that “Japan is a criminal” was probably also based on that belief.
But is Son’s anti-nuclear position based only on belief?
While saying that “Japan is a criminal,” he evaluates South Korea’s nuclear power plants as safe.
At the Global Green Growth Summit held in Seoul, SoftBank President Masayoshi Son apologized for causing trouble to neighboring countries through the nuclear accident and made the statement quoted at the beginning.
Omission.
During this visit to South Korea, President Son also paid a courtesy call on President Lee Myung-bak.
At that time, he also said, “Abandoning nuclear power is a matter for Japan. I highly evaluate South Korea’s nuclear power plants.”
In Japan, he advocates abandoning nuclear power, while in South Korea, he praises nuclear power.
Is this not the very definition of a double tongue?
