This case is absolutely heartbreaking. I would go crazy without knowing where my daughter is and after 20 whole years learning about the kidnappings of N.Korea and still not knowing if she is alive or not.
The north Korean kidnappings have been proven time and time again to be false. It's Propaganda made by US allies. She was most likely kidnapped and murdered.
ikr i cant imagine living a life where its centered around your missing kid, gets relieved theyre in north korea alive, only to then hear theyre dead by suicide but also theres still chance theyre alive. its so torturing that it seems youre just being tortured your whole life with uncertainty and wanting to know whats actually happening
It’s so heartbreaking but i know she’s stronger than most. She had two other children and she absolutely did not give up on them. That’s very admirable.
Imagine someone kidnapping your child, hiding it for over 20 years, lying/being vague about what happened to them, then continuing living like nothing wrong had happened. What the actual fuck is wrong with this world.

This case still weighs heavily on the people who live in and around Niigata. I was being shown around the city in 2017 by a couple who has lived their whole life in the area, and as we drove down the street where she had been abducted, they told me the story. I can't imagine the fear that something like foreign agents abducting children would have caused.
The fact Shigeru died with an unsolved cause of grief with him is just heartbreaking. Hoping there would be at least some justice from that. It's infuriating that North Korea's secrecy and their totally stupid isolation and ideology would make matters worse for these kinds of cases.

On shortwave radio, there is a program called “Furosato no Kaze” and it was created by a coalition of Japanese families who have also had their children abducted by North Korea. On the program, you can hear the parents read letters in Japanese and Korean (Korean because their children may have forgotten a lot of their Japanese) and play the favorite songs of the victims. I once heard a dad start choking up while reading one of the letters, saying, “I can’t go on like this anymore.” The radio program tries to broadcast it into North Korea in hopes that the victims will tune in and recognize their parents voices or favorite songs playing.
It is absolutely outrageous that North Korea can do these things and keep getting away with it. My heart breaks for all those poor families who had their loved ones abducted. It’s so unfair really, I wish more could be done for these families. I just hate that North Korea is able to do these awful things and nobody is able to stop them.
You obviously don't know the great atrocities Japan has committed. They were far worse than the Nazis. Rape of Nanking? They swept it under the rug. Don't pretend they are angels.
Megumi's mom saying that even though she's older with gray hair, they can still have fun when she gets back absolutely broke my heart. I cry a lot, but seeing that poor woman still trying to smile at the camera, hoping her daughter is going to see it, even though she's been looking for her for 20+ years is just too much
here's the sad part: even if she miraculously return tomorrow, it's been 46 years. She would feel alienated because only her mother still alive and she would be very old woman. Megumi herself would be 60 and her twin brothers would be strangers because they look so small during her abduction and have not much memory of their sister.
Also adding to the fact that if she ever did return, she'd have to leave behind her husband and daughter in North Korea, and who knows what might happen to them when she's gone...absolutely fucking horrifying.
I hope she’s brought home one day if she really is alive. It’s disgusting how North Korea not only tortures their own people, but foreigners too. I hate how much they’re able to get away with.
Yeah North Korea is messed up. You got this insane little demon running the country. Having his brother killed and brainwashing every citizen. It's Jonestown all over again. The leader gets the buffet but the ordinary guy is treated like a sub human creature, with only getting by on rations. I think she could be alive seeing that communists are liers and manipulators.
It's so inhumane to steal away a child from its parent. I truly do hope Megumi is alright and she will reunite with her family one day, same with the other innocent people who were abducted.
If you're not a vegan your 'demands and needs' constantly steal away children from their parents PLUS get all of them killed. But I suppose you're only feeling terrible bc THIS time it happened to a human, correct?
You may be the most idiotic person here. "It's so inhumane" is NOT referring to Megumi. How fucking stupid are you? "It's" is a contraction baby cakes, or did you not learn that in grade school? They even said "reunite with HER family" Like genuinely where the fuck are you getting that they called Megumi "it" ?@@Taekaleaf
everytime you make a video, i run, grab a snack and get cosy. The subject may not be comforting but the way you tell the victim's story is so satisfying and clear. Great work!!!!
Wow, this story is both heartbreaking and incredibly intriguing. It's also infuriating to think that North Korea has refused to apologize or provide any information about Megumi's disappearance. They have shown no compassion or remorse for the pain and suffering they have caused. It's a powerful reminder of the impact a single person's story can have on the world stage. 🌍💔 #NeverForgetMegumi
This is a horrible case, I feel so angered that these random children got pulled into this political issue. When her mom talked about being happy she was alive, all I could do was cry. Just so horrible.
They way they still left the door unlocked and always left the light to show that they never forgot about her and was still and always waiting for her to come home was just absolutely left me destroyed
her mothers love and dedication to her was admirable and so heartbreaking. i had never heard this case, you make great content and i’m happy to have discovered your channel
I don't usually comment on videos but this was masterfully made. I cried during the clip of her mother crying, this was such a heartbreaking video. It really makes you think about the horrors of the world and especially in North Korea, it's so crazy to me that places like this even exist. Thank you for making an amazingly informative and touching video
her poor family and that poor girl. breaks my heart seeing them. wish i could meet the mother and give her a big hug, can't imagine the pain she has been through for more than 4 decades already. and so sad for the father to pass away without ever knowing what really happened to her daughter. i hope she lived (or, hopefully, she's living) the best life she could have had under her circumstances.
Apparently, Megumi's parents did get to meet her daughter, whose name is actually Kim Eun-gyong. They also got to meet Eun-gyong's daughter, their great-granddaughter. Eun-gyong is apparently under strict surveillance in NK, supposedly under Kim Jong-Un's sister. There's suspicion that NK could try to use her as a pawn in future negotiations with Japan. It's so messed up, like salt has been rubbed repeatedly into the wounds of Megumi's parents for 40 years.
North Korea’s actions are disgusting, I feel bad for the great granddaughter and granddaughter I hope they can escape from North Korea and finally reveal what happened to Megumi
@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea it's on google, you can search megumi's daughter's name and megumi's name will pop up as one of her parents. Her partner was also a kidnapped teenager in South Korea named Kim Eun-kyung (died in 2004).
This is a very serious and hard case to hear, I can't imagine what it must be like to go through it, fighting for more than 20 years in the hope of recovering your loved one, and having them say as if nothing had happened that he or she is dead. Watching Megumi's parents grow older without answers and without help was too sad.
This story is devastating. Imagine this case if if was someone you loved or cared about. And for a whole separate government to just snatch up international citizens and keep them is so enraging.
I'm not a parent but watching this video is emotionally hard especially for Megumi's parents. I couldn't fathom how much pain and grief they have to go through and it's so sad that the dad passed without being given answers.
Japanese are not the only abduction victims. South Koreans, Chinese, Romanians, Singaporeans, Thais and Lebanese have also been abducted. Some people were in countries far from North Korea, such as England, Spain, and Italy, but were taken to North Korea on the pretext of travel and work and forced to stay. I hope all the abductees can return home. I hope Ms.Megumi Yokota can meet her mother and younger brother.
God this is so heartbreaking to listen to I can’t imagine what megumi’s family has gone through for years. They took her and it was a simple wrong place at the wrong time situation. Like she was just walking home and that was that. It’s so crushing to imagine what life she must have lived or lives right now, wanting to go home but not being able to. I hope that if there’s an afterlife or maybe reincarnation, megumi and her family are able to meet once again . I hope everyone who was taken from their family’s is able to see them once again some day
this story honestly broke my heart. the fact that her death and whereabouts are still up to speculation is horrid, and what hurt me the most was the state her parents were in. especially her mother
It shattered my heart when the mother said that they looked for any girl their daughter's age while walking down the street or looked closely at post mortem reports to identify a round face resembling Megumi's. I just cannot imagine!
ive never cried so hard for people i have no idea about before, your videos are amazing and you shed light to some of the most devastating and heartbreaking situations, but these things must be known it broke my heart watching the parents cry and beg for answers, its horrible out here
It is so sad how the life is so unfair for some of us. Having been abducted for 20 years and being unknown that she is alive or not, it so depressing.😢
You did leave a legacy megumi, and Mrs yakoto, your love for your daughter and devotion and loyalty to finding her helped that immensely. Rest in peace Megumi!! You will never be forgotten and always in my heart now that I have come across this story. ❤ I hope you and your sweet family will be reunited in heaven for eternity.
He abducted so many people and just apologizing? how can a mere apology fixed what has been taken off of their lives. You can’t bring back those things. Its so sickening how they even manage to think of this like don’t they have any remorse or conscience? I do hope megumi’s family and the rest of the abducted people got the closure they need. I’ll leave it up to fate whatever punishment those involved in doing this disgusting act only to benefit themselves.
To think that these people's lives were just destroyed all out of nowhere, subjected to a fate arguably worse than death being brainwashed and imprisoned in a nation that doesn't see them as people... and worse of all, their families and friends got little to no justice for it. The pain must be just absolutely unimaginable.
Wow, at the beginning of the story I wasnt expecting this much ! Never heard about these abductions and it was very interesting, thank you for your great documentation work.
I absolutely love your channels videos and hope it never dies. Info documentaries with pictures and maps for detail and voice to describe the scenario is perfect. Please keep uploading!!!
Kids that got kidnapped all over the world could be in North Korea. The ones who vanished without a trace. This is a very sad story. Her parents really love her
The breadcrumbing of information North Korea has given Megumi's parents over the years... it’s like rubbing salt into wounds over and over for decades, refusing to let them ever heal. Their pain would be insurmountable.
I fear that Mrs. Yokota will never see her daughter in this lifetime. North Korea will always be too cruel to ever let Megumi go. She may or may not know too much information, is married to an high ranking official or whatever the other alternatives may be. Although its not much comfort, it seems Megumi's daughter and granddaughter are healthy and maybe thats all we can hope for. I do hope they get reunited but as the years go by. It is bleak...😢
my heart goes out to the yokota family. i cannot imagine the years of pain, suffering, and loss they experienced only to never have a conclusive answer as to what happened to megumi
Need to bring this to attention, could you cover Ruchika Girhotra's case and how the system not just failed her but actively worked against her and everyone close to her. The fact is that I had no idea of the case until recently is astounding and haven't seen any international coverage of her case. I really appreciate your videos, and find your coverage to be both unbiased and respectful. It would be great if you take a look at this case, for all the vitriol the daughters of India and the world have faced. Much love, from India ❤
this case is absolutely devastating. her mother hoping that it was just because she was a bad parent and that megumi had run away or killed herself because that's a more comforting thought than being kidnapped. that clip of her father crying. the entire missing persons' speech. "i'm older now with grey hair, but we can still have fun when you get back. just like we used to." brought me to literal tears. i hope they both find peace someday.
"I'm older now with gray hair, but we can still have fun when you get back. Just like we used to." absolutely gutted me

To think that these people's lives were just destroyed all out of nowhere, subjected to a fate arguably worse than death being brainwashed and imprisoned in a nation that doesn't see them as people... and worse of all, their families and friends got little to no justice for it. The pain must be just absolutely unimaginable.
This story is INSANE
Your storytelling is AMAZING , very talented.
This is so heartbreaking. I hope Megumi and her family find peace one day.
What a terrible scenario for the parents...
Wow, at the beginning of the story I wasnt expecting this much ! Never heard about these abductions and it was very interesting, thank you for your great documentation work.
I absolutely love your channels videos and hope it never dies. Info documentaries with pictures and maps for detail and voice to describe the scenario is perfect. Please keep uploading!!!
The pain Megumi's mother and father feel must be unimaginable. 😢
This channel is the most underrated channel ever. This is the only channel I have post notifications on. Incredible!!
i’ve never heard of this case, so intriguing and upsetting
14:08 i rarely get emotional at true crime videos but this made me cry, all that time that was robbed from them.
I never teared up at these true crime videos until I saw this video. Those poor parents don’t deserve any of this.
You guys should get hired and make high budget documentaries! The quality and even the vibes or emotions were just on point. Please make more 😁
Kids that got kidnapped all over the world could be in North Korea. The ones who vanished without a trace. This is a very sad story. Her parents really love her
Gosh that was sad, but this was incredibly well made.
Really enjoying this channel. Thank you for the great content.
The breadcrumbing of information North Korea has given Megumi's parents over the years... it’s like rubbing salt into wounds over and over for decades, refusing to let them ever heal. Their pain would be insurmountable.
I feel like the late seventies were the most horrorful years in the last century in terms of kidnapping, serial killers and mysterious cases ...
It infurates me how much korea has gotten away with and the fact Megumi's parents have gotten so much false hope even till today is so sad.
These videos are so well put together
Knowing Megumi's father passed away without even seeing his daughter again for one last time is so depressing.
having to not know what happened to your child is worse than death
your videos are AMAZING! they remind me a lot of LEMINO, they're so interesting and well produced, please please keep up this incredible work
one of the reasons I like yours videos so much are the maps and schemes, please never change this
I fear that Mrs. Yokota will never see her daughter in this lifetime. North Korea will always be too cruel to ever let Megumi go. She may or may not know too much information, is married to an high ranking official or whatever the other alternatives may be. Although its not much comfort, it seems Megumi's daughter and granddaughter are healthy and maybe thats all we can hope for. I do hope they get reunited but as the years go by. It is bleak...😢
my heart goes out to the yokota family. i cannot imagine the years of pain, suffering, and loss they experienced only to never have a conclusive answer as to what happened to megumi
Why is this channel so underrated love your videos though
Your videos are always amazing
This is an amazing video ❤ thank you
i am not into true crime, but when i watch these videos i feel like i am watching lecture about hard topics and not like i am watching youtube
Thank you for a excellent video ❤❤❤
Whats scary is that there may be more victims like her because theres still so much cases that can still be potential north korean abductions.
Please make more videos. We love your stuff.
Fascinating. Sad and fascinating. Thank you.
Great video as always!
I usually don’t subscribe any channels anymore but this one is worth the world
this channel is underrated
Need to bring this to attention, could you cover Ruchika Girhotra's case and how the system not just failed her but actively worked against her and everyone close to her. The fact is that I had no idea of the case until recently is astounding and haven't seen any international coverage of her case. I really appreciate your videos, and find your coverage to be both unbiased and respectful. It would be great if you take a look at this case, for all the vitriol the daughters of India and the world have faced.
Much love, from India ❤
Amazing video as always. One of the best true crime channels. 👌👌
this case is absolutely devastating. her mother hoping that it was just because she was a bad parent and that megumi had run away or killed herself because that's a more comforting thought than being kidnapped. that clip of her father crying. the entire missing persons' speech.
"i'm older now with grey hair, but we can still have fun when you get back. just like we used to." brought me to literal tears. i hope they both find peace someday.
Making it into an anime is insane
Still started with the story but glad you're back again xD been waiting for another like this
wake up babe unpredictable just uploaded
i've been waiting for this!
This channel is so underrated
