The main issue is South Korea used to be a country where almost all of the people used to follow a mixture of Buddhism, Confucianism , Taoism and Korean Shamanism(Muism) . But now almost all Koreans are evangelical christians. They have lost their soul as now they hate their ancestors since their ancestors were heathens as per their new beliefs. Hence they are easy to be manipulated by the cults. Thats why you see all kinda weird cults like Father Moon, Doomsday Church Cult like Shincheonji church and this cult coming from South Korea. Its the same reason why most s€x workers in middle east are Filipino because they too have lost their ancestors faith and converted to Christianity. Koreans are even more hardcore than white in christianity. In my country of nepal white people come play holi and put tika on dashain but koreans come only as missionary. It is ironic since korea used to be a Buddhist country but now they want land of Buddha i.e. Nepal to be land of Korean Jesus.
You joke but I knew somebody like this they were my neighbor and they worked for NASA before they went nuts and became convinced they were God in the flesh. Really scary to witness it happen to someone you knew
The son's name is Hiroshi Okawa, an actor and producer in various media, and he was recently arrested, incarcerated for 20+ days and fined for defamation of some woman through his UA-cam channel and after release his landlord kicked him out. He's in debt over $200,000 and just trying to keep his YT channel and keep from becoming homeless. He's literally crying on his channel, poor guy. Japanese culture is rough.
Dude my uncle is in Happy Science. I have so many stories. One time my uncle gifted me a book for my birthday, and it was a transcript of Okawa doing a "spiritual interview" with Michael Jackson, where Jackson's "spirit" admitted he molested kids and explained why he did it, but also talked about music and hanging out with famous composers and dead celebrities in heaven. The book hasn't been translated into English and I hope it never does. I was so fuckin mad.
Hahaha. Thats so fucked up and Im sorry about your uncle, but I cant stop laughing. I had my own experience with happy science. I went to visit family in Russia a few years ago during the world cup. My cousin and best friend and I took a sleeper train to Nizhniy where we met a whole group of Russian Happy Science members. They seemed nice enough. Gave me the vibe that they were in recovery from addiction or something. Then when we got off the train, they caught us and handed us pamphlets that basically said that god is alive on earth and was some Japanese guy. We got a pretty good laugh from that.

Who is Denis? I can get it if his ex wife who act like that, like she actually wanna blur what she really thought about in her mind, "penis" to "Denis"
Im kind of surprised that mr.Okawa let his family members have such high-ranking positions in the church. Usually cult leaders take as much power for themselves as possible
For anyone who wants to deep dive further into this, there's another cult called "Soka Gakkai" or it's acronym "sgi" which stands for Soka Gakkai International. It even has its own rarely-mentioned university in the United States which it tries to distance itself from to not arouse suspicion. It's a sort of unconventional Buddhist sect type religion, and I'd compare it to scientology in terms of money and influence.
Soka gakkai is a humanistic organisation. It's based on faith in the lotus Sutra and jas come down from scriptures and the last teachings of shakyamuni buddha. It does not act like this funny religion happy science. It's seems kinda funny. Happy science is trying to copy successful religions.
I only know about Soka gakkai from my mom who knew about them many decades before they spread beyond Japan. She remarked how the original stories of a beheading that was thwarted by a lightning hitting the sword was later changed to a falling store, like the official more plausible story was changed. Made me think similar re-writes likely with the Bible. I knew someone who put her faith in Sokkai Gakkai because she was lonely and when she was dying of ovarian cancer, the members seemed to be caring for her and probably conducted her funeral when she died. They aren't as outlandish as some other more recent Japanese cults. They're popping up all over the place like suburban US.
@@daBEAGLE1017 luckily I’m not Christian. This isn’t making people “happy” it’s taking advantage of peoples depression in order to sell them “happiness” as a product. Happiness shouldn’t come from blatant lies.
Was finally able to convinced my wife this "religion" she grew up in is a CULT! I visited their temple in oahu and got very cult feel for the whole situation. I also got the joy of watching their "anime" and its totally sciencetology. Same same but different.
@brax10808 its on Kapiolani Blvd right in Honolulu. Went there twice both times felt like theyre were trying to make me tired and docile before speaking to me about el canter or whatever. Looks like a buddist temple the whole nine yards until they start talking about their holy leader.

@TheExplorer It's the same with Hinduism and Christianity, but you didn't mention those two 🤔. I think I know why🙄. Hindus - afaik - can't even excuse the contradictory bullshit some of them do with some actually rather small respectively irrelevant verse/surah as the other two usually do though...
I was studying Japanese language in Pune during 2015 and I read one of his book which was kinda motivational and it had one animated movie CD which shows how Rhyuo is reincarnated from Budha and other God's and religion is mixture of Buddhism and Christianity. The book stall people arranged one meeting to join their 'cult' and they asked me to pay subscription fee but I didn't paid as I was not interested. I just wanted to talk with Japanese person to understand new things about language. After that I left that meeting. Now I got to know more about this religious group. Nice video Vice 👍
@@Mr.Joy1369 You mean the people who are just decent human beings who consider the emotions of others? They don't qualify as crazy. The people who use the term "woke" as a pejorative, on the other might, certainly do.
Wow am so glad I find someone that realises how focused and duty driven these Japanese people are ...its embedded every where in their culture and system with or with out religion at hand
Omg... my family member is a part of this, and I have nothing I can do to bring him back to the real world... He thinks I'm delusioned for not wanting to know the "truth". What can I do.....
When I was in 5th grade our school took us to a book fair. I was exploring the place and spotted a crowded stall. I got curious and went to check it out. There I saw the people operating the stall were foreigners. Now I realize they were Japanese people. They were going on about this Happy Science but I didn't understand a single thing. They were giving away some kind of pamphlet with the cult leader's face in front with a CD attached to it. The CD was about some kind of anime. I took 3 of those pamphlet lol. The only reason I took those were because of the anime XD. I watched it at home but didn't understand a single thing about that anime. The story was about some teenagers trying to contact Thomas Edison who was in heaven for something. They go to heaven somehow IDK and they do stuff there to please him I guess. I don't remember the story so well cause I stopped watching it after getting bored. And now after 12 years I realize it was a freakin cult? WTF. I am laughing so hard as I watch this video haha.
Have you Watched Mother’s Basement’s video on Happy Science’s films? Apparently one film (Mythic Laws) takes the Far Right Japanese stuff to the next level, there was a montage of China (it was supposed to be a fictional country I can’t remember it’s name but it was heavily implied to be china) of them invading Japan, killing religious people and their families, and in said montage had schools teach about Nanking (Japan’s Far Right denies any war crimes Japan did during WWII)
@@thejman5683 I have not watched the film but I definitely heard about it though. The horrendous things Japan did in Nanking though. I cannot imagine a single person just going around and chopping heads of other people and competing for it.
What an absolute delight seeing this video. Though, I honestly wished you didn't block this video in Japan, Vice. I think they deserve to know the nonsense being pushed to the forefront by Happy Science, as well.
Did it say it was "blocked in ur country*aka japan* " by vice bc some government's would blocked certain videos that their citizens shouldn't watch on youtube in that country
@@apple_dragon226 "The uploader has not made this video available in your country." Clearly it wasn't because of the Japanese government blocking the video. Vice themselves blocked their own video in Japan, either fearing an impending lawsuit by Happy Science or some other reason that we don't know.
Vice has blocked this video from being viewed in Japan (Vice themselves have made it unavailable here). I live in Japan and I have to use a VPN to watch a video from Vice. Real brave of you, guys. Way to show the problem to everyone except the people who really need to see the message. This is not the kind of journalistic integrity I expect from Vice.
To be fair, Happy Science is notorious for copyright striking creators who criticize them. If it was uploaded originally with a region block on Japan then I would agree that they lack journalistic integrity and bravery. That said, if it was region blocked in response to Happy Science striking their channel, that’s a bit more understandable. Unfortunately, due to how UA-cam’s copyright strike claims work, Vice wouldn’t exactly have much choice in the matter.
@Slow Day 1.8 billion muslims know this guy is a lunatic! He's just making this whole crap up to rip people off. those 12 million people need to wake up from this cult lol
@Farhan Ali Tbh Mohammad did the same thing...he too claimed Jesus and all others in the Bible are the followers of the God he preached...only difference, he chose to kill anyone who didn't believe him.
I recently did a research about Japanese religion and belief, then I saw "happy science". Never heard of it & wondering what was it. Thanks for this content VICE
Actually accents are a part of muscle memory. That's why when a person gets someone else's voice box or face, they dont get a someone else's voice or accent. If you were to take over someone's body, you would most likely speak like them. As for not speaking in english? I like the comedic value
@@mangonel but nothing is worse than liberalism with existential fatigue and virtue signalling! Smells like sooner or later all these liberal countries will have Shariah law
I love how Japanese people pick and choose words from other languages and use them however they please. I thought it's mostly in anime but apparently cults do it too...
I met one of their followers outside of a trump rally in Atlanta in 2016 , he gave me a book called “a spiritual interview with George Washington”, it was the weirdest thing I had ever read from what I can tell they’re basically just Japanese Scientology
When I watch Vice’s videos, although very informative, I feel like I just read a sentence ending with a semi-colon and I’m waiting for the rest of the sentence.
This was so entertaining ! I laughed through out the whole thing. I literally couldn't take this cult seriously.lol "I'm margret thatcher ....oooooo fight fight...Denis!...Denis!" had me dead lol
Lol same 🤣 I’m Asian and we have a saying here that if people wear suits in these religious videos then they are most likely part of a cult. There are so many cults like these in Taiwan (with impersonations of dead famous people
I watched a movie directed by Okawa yesterday and was in tears. What made it even funnier was that it somehow topped Japan's box office for 4 weeks and won 3 awards.
"The Church of Happyology" is a name used by TV Tropes for fictional Scientology stand-ins. Happy Science is literally Happyology plus Scientology minus the "ology" - double Scientology!
"El Cantare" is literally "the singer" in several Latinate languages (or very close)😕. Was Ohkawa's God an Ancient Astronaut that moonlighted as a Venusian opera singer?
I’m only 1 min 15 seconds in, but i heard something like “realized he was a god while working on wall street” and my first thought was ‘yeah, cocaine definitely can have that effect’. Ok, now on with the show.....
@@paulczar Last year in Japan, 598,900 men got married. Presumably to mostly women. So the math backs your claim up, here. It's science. Happy science.
The 12 million follows they claim to have is referring to the people who have heard of it whether if they've seen a clip of something they posted of even heard the name of the program, NOT ACTUAL FANS
@@HanyuuHOLO i don't know about this specific claim, but Happy science is studied by scholars for years, the 12 million number was always considered bullocks. You can find hundreds of scientific papers about Happy Science though.
@@HanyuuHOLO no problem, there are actually books written about Happy science! I study Japanese studies and have a focus on Japanese Nee religious movements, and happy science is actually my current subject of study
The literal, word-for-word translation of the Japanese name of this cult is "The Science of Happiness", but that name was already taken in English, so they came up with "Happy Science" which sounds like a goofy "Janglish" name to me. (LOL)
I saw his latest film, “The Divine Protector,” today at Laemmle in Glendale, and I gotta say, for a super Buddhist-centric movie, I actually enjoyed it LOL.
“Happy Science” yep sounds like a name we would come up with 😂 this is basically Japanese Scientology and I like how they explained the history using anime
I almost joined their cult. They have a small temple behind the college I went to. I had dropped out due to a developing psychosis. I felt alone, depressed and desperately wanted to be a part of a group and make friends. I needed something to believe in. I started studying all kinds of religions and spiritual practices to make sense of my psychosis. So I walked into their little temple one day. Everyone was so kind and gentle. They played calming music (which in hindsight, I’m afraid may or may not have had subliminal messages in them). My first visit, they conveniently were about to watch a movie on the origin of their religion. Yes it was some Japanese dude in the 80s that found out he could speak to Jesus and was gifted with automatic writing/psychography. This is basically when a non physical entity speaks directly through a human vessel, like Ryuho Okawa, through their pen’s strokes to paper. I thought it was weird and kinda funny, but not impossible (again, I was not mentally well). I was learning Japanese, so the folks there were very impressed and eager to talk to me. Very welcoming people. The uhhh pastor(?) there gave me a book after my 3rd visit. I promised to read it all and come back. In the book was general self help and life advice. Much of it was helpful from what I remember. Except for the parts where they explain the creation of the earth by El Cantare, the god of all gods and the one true omnipotence behind all religions and spirituality. “Huh… interesting” I thought, but I kept reading and visiting. The pastor(?) would try his best to relate to me and connect with the other spiritual practices I was interested in, like shamanic practices, while demonstrating a total ignorance to what I was studying with a huge grin. Sometimes his grin made me uncomfortable and I felt like he was judging me. I felt like behind his smile and gentle voice was something to not be trusted. I can’t stress this enough, he grinned as hard as he could, especially when explaining the lore of Happy Science, like if he was thinking “oh this goofball’s really buying it.” Anyway, the book was weird and used a lot of cyclical language and thinking. It almost read the way a hypnotist talks. I was curious and excited to go back to the Happy Science temple as I was making friends and had a crush on a woman there… Till I finished the book. Yeah the whole thing seems benevolent but in the last 2 pages it tells the reader that we learn from suffering. Okay, typical Buddhist stuff. NAH It says because we learn from suffering, we must put ourselves into situations that make us suffer. Because we learn from suffering, we must use suffering to teach others to grow and become closer to El Cantare, and find happiness. I was shocked and immediately realized I was about to join a cult.
Oh the Pastor(?) also told me if I read some more books and stuck with the temple for longer, he could get me on a mission to Japan with them. He showed me photos of their mission with that slightly creepy smile, and in it were maybe 40 people all sleeping on the floor of a Japanese house, with only a blanket. I was confused why they were on the floor, but didn’t want to be rude or ungrateful. I really wanted to go to Japan at the time. Boy did I dodge a bullet.

I did a research project on scientology for a religion class about 20 years ago. They are stalkers.

@Ike but no Mike Look, I used to watch Falun Gong media like China Uncensored. Yes, they keep talking about the atrocities of Communism. But the way they handled it? It looks like they're this special people group specifically hunted down as if they're the Jews being persecuted by the Reich. The way they presented organ trafficking? It looks like they are the prime victim
Falun Gong have some weird beliefs, but they're ultimately no more fucked up than most mainstream religions - Christians, Muslims, most religions in the West have some sort of fundamentalist psycho element that believes self-destructive stuff. They certainly don't seem to fit the mold of most cults (one person billed as the messiah, with the whole belief system conveniently serving to benefit them), they look fairly decentralized even if they are based around a modern man's eccentric teachings. They're kinda like Chinese Mormons - their beliefs are pretty wacky and some of them take it to a dangerous point (disavowing modern medicine is the big one I saw), but it's still primarily about spirituality. Not quite like Okawa or Shoko Asahara's deity status. Also Falun Gong is Chinese, not Japanese, so putting them down as a challenger to the title of Japan's Weirdest Cult seems very odd.

For anyone who wants to deep dive further into this, there's another cult called "Soka Gakkai" or it's acronym "sgi" which stands for Soka Gakkai International. It even has its own rarely-mentioned university in the United States which it tries to distance itself from to not arouse suspicion. It's a sort of unconventional Buddhist sect type religion, and I'd compare it to scientology in terms of money and influence.
Soka gakkai is a humanistic organisation. It's based on faith in the lotus Sutra and jas come down from scriptures and the last teachings of shakyamuni buddha. It does not act like this funny religion happy science. It's seems kinda funny. Happy science is trying to copy successful religions.
I only know about Soka gakkai from my mom who knew about them many decades before they spread beyond Japan. She remarked how the original stories of a beheading that was thwarted by a lightning hitting the sword was later changed to a falling store, like the official more plausible story was changed. Made me think similar re-writes likely with the Bible. I knew someone who put her faith in Sokkai Gakkai because she was lonely and when she was dying of ovarian cancer, the members seemed to be caring for her and probably conducted her funeral when she died. They aren't as outlandish as some other more recent Japanese cults. They're popping up all over the place like suburban US.
I remember talking to a Japanese person, and they basically described this as Japanese Scientology.
Do they have japanese tom cruise as well?
Who is to say what is good and what is not? Scientology (im not) has made many happy and they will tell you different, same with Christianity.

When I was in 5th grade our school took us to a book fair. I was exploring the place and spotted a crowded stall. I got curious and went to check it out. There I saw the people operating the stall were foreigners. Now I realize they were Japanese people.
They were going on about this Happy Science but I didn't understand a single thing. They were giving away some kind of pamphlet with the cult leader's face in front with a CD attached to it. The CD was about some kind of anime. I took 3 of those pamphlet lol. The only reason I took those were because of the anime XD. I watched it at home but didn't understand a single thing about that anime. The story was about some teenagers trying to contact Thomas Edison who was in heaven for something. They go to heaven somehow IDK and they do stuff there to please him I guess. I don't remember the story so well cause I stopped watching it after getting bored. And now after 12 years I realize it was a freakin cult? WTF. I am laughing so hard as I watch this video haha.
Have you Watched Mother’s Basement’s video on Happy Science’s films?
Apparently one film (Mythic Laws) takes the Far Right Japanese stuff to the next level, there was a montage of China (it was supposed to be a fictional country I can’t remember it’s name but it was heavily implied to be china) of them invading Japan, killing religious people and their families, and in said montage had schools teach about Nanking (Japan’s Far Right denies any war crimes Japan did during WWII)

What an absolute delight seeing this video. Though, I honestly wished you didn't block this video in Japan, Vice. I think they deserve to know the nonsense being pushed to the forefront by Happy Science, as well.

@@apple_dragon226 "The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

Vice has blocked this video from being viewed in Japan (Vice themselves have made it unavailable here). I live in Japan and I have to use a VPN to watch a video from Vice. Real brave of you, guys. Way to show the problem to everyone except the people who really need to see the message. This is not the kind of journalistic integrity I expect from Vice.
To be fair, Happy Science is notorious for copyright striking creators who criticize them. If it was uploaded originally with a region block on Japan then I would agree that they lack journalistic integrity and bravery. That said, if it was region blocked in response to Happy Science striking their channel, that’s a bit more understandable. Unfortunately, due to how UA-cam’s copyright strike claims work, Vice wouldn’t exactly have much choice in the matter.
There are cults in Australia like Hillsong and Landmark that do the same sort of censorship

You'd think the spirit of Margaret Thatcher would be able to summon more fluent English without a strong Japanese accent.
Actually accents are a part of muscle memory. That's why when a person gets someone else's voice box or face, they dont get a someone else's voice or accent. If you were to take over someone's body, you would most likely speak like them. As for not speaking in english? I like the comedic value

And Happy Science is suing his son
I've lived almost 15 years next to one of these temples and always wondered what was that. Thank you vice
Thats awesome that his son left and has been insulting him! Good for him, can’t imagine how hard that is.

@@brillsmith2207 Nah I think it's closer to scientology. Moonies believe in a Holy Family.
"The Church of Happyology" is a name used by TV Tropes for fictional Scientology stand-ins. Happy Science is literally Happyology plus Scientology minus the "ology" - double Scientology!
"El Cantare" is literally "the singer" in several Latinate languages (or very close)😕. Was Ohkawa's God an Ancient Astronaut that moonlighted as a Venusian opera singer?
Yes "el" means "the" in Spanish and "cantare" "to sing" in Italian 😳😳 such a pride he chose these impressive words for his religion
I lost it at that point 😂 are we playing La Loteria or something?
El Cantare worked as a singer on space cruise ships in his youth.
The singer would be "El cantante"? but yes, "El cantare" sounds so silly to any latin-derived language speaker, such as myself
The idea of God being sick on the mic is kind of awesome
We need a new, hour-ish, version of this, now that Okawa is dead.

I almost joined their cult. They have a small temple behind the college I went to. I had dropped out due to a developing psychosis. I felt alone, depressed and desperately wanted to be a part of a group and make friends. I needed something to believe in. I started studying all kinds of religions and spiritual practices to make sense of my psychosis. So I walked into their little temple one day.
Everyone was so kind and gentle. They played calming music (which in hindsight, I’m afraid may or may not have had subliminal messages in them). My first visit, they conveniently were about to watch a movie on the origin of their religion. Yes it was some Japanese dude in the 80s that found out he could speak to Jesus and was gifted with automatic writing/psychography. This is basically when a non physical entity speaks directly through a human vessel, like Ryuho Okawa, through their pen’s strokes to paper. I thought it was weird and kinda funny, but not impossible (again, I was not mentally well).
I was learning Japanese, so the folks there were very impressed and eager to talk to me. Very welcoming people. The uhhh pastor(?) there gave me a book after my 3rd visit. I promised to read it all and come back. In the book was general self help and life advice. Much of it was helpful from what I remember. Except for the parts where they explain the creation of the earth by El Cantare, the god of all gods and the one true omnipotence behind all religions and spirituality. “Huh… interesting” I thought, but I kept reading and visiting. The pastor(?) would try his best to relate to me and connect with the other spiritual practices I was interested in, like shamanic practices, while demonstrating a total ignorance to what I was studying with a huge grin. Sometimes his grin made me uncomfortable and I felt like he was judging me. I felt like behind his smile and gentle voice was something to not be trusted. I can’t stress this enough, he grinned as hard as he could, especially when explaining the lore of Happy Science, like if he was thinking “oh this goofball’s really buying it.”
Anyway, the book was weird and used a lot of cyclical language and thinking. It almost read the way a hypnotist talks. I was curious and excited to go back to the Happy Science temple as I was making friends and had a crush on a woman there… Till I finished the book. Yeah the whole thing seems benevolent but in the last 2 pages it tells the reader that we learn from suffering. Okay, typical Buddhist stuff. NAH
It says because we learn from suffering, we must put ourselves into situations that make us suffer. Because we learn from suffering, we must use suffering to teach others to grow and become closer to El Cantare, and find happiness.
I was shocked and immediately realized I was about to join a cult.
Oh the Pastor(?) also told me if I read some more books and stuck with the temple for longer, he could get me on a mission to Japan with them. He showed me photos of their mission with that slightly creepy smile, and in it were maybe 40 people all sleeping on the floor of a Japanese house, with only a blanket. I was confused why they were on the floor, but didn’t want to be rude or ungrateful. I really wanted to go to Japan at the time.
Boy did I dodge a bullet.
That anime looks good because the story is made by a person who actually believes its real

The way they presented organ trafficking? It looks like they are the prime victim
@Ike but no Mike sigh, blind ppl is hard to open their eyes when they dont want to see. Nevertheless don't mind me
Falun Gong have some weird beliefs, but they're ultimately no more fucked up than most mainstream religions - Christians, Muslims, most religions in the West have some sort of fundamentalist psycho element that believes self-destructive stuff. They certainly don't seem to fit the mold of most cults (one person billed as the messiah, with the whole belief system conveniently serving to benefit them), they look fairly decentralized even if they are based around a modern man's eccentric teachings. They're kinda like Chinese Mormons - their beliefs are pretty wacky and some of them take it to a dangerous point (disavowing modern medicine is the big one I saw), but it's still primarily about spirituality. Not quite like Okawa or Shoko Asahara's deity status.
Also Falun Gong is Chinese, not Japanese, so putting them down as a challenger to the title of Japan's Weirdest Cult seems very odd.
