- Protests have taken place in Japan as world leaders head to the country for the state funeral for former prime minster Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated in July.
Opposition to the state funeral has been growing in recent weeks, with polls suggesting more than half of the country's population is now against holding it.
On Monday around 10,000 protestors marched through the streets of the Tokyo demanding the funeral be called off.
State funerals are not an established practice in Japan, and protesters say they resent the use of public funds on the event that is projected to cost about 1.65bn yen (£10.1m; $11.4m).

That's a long gap between death and the funeral.
Yeah... I was thinking the very same thing.
That's true. This happened weeks before the Queen died.
How much more evidence do we need we are watching agenda based fiction not real time news.
I believe he has already been cremated... The funeral they are talking about is more related to paying respects to him and the urn...

BBC should correct some of the content of the interview. This mistake is misleading because there are major errors.
The first professor, Koichi Nakano, is a well-known anti-Abe, communist professor. He stated that people think this way, but this was a fabricated statement of his own thoughts as people's thoughts.
Next, Prof. Kazuto Suzuki, introduced as a former aide to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, is a very neutral-minded professor at the University of Tokyo's Graduate School.
This public division is the result of the anti-Abe communist groups and the media teaming up to broadcast the Abe discount campaign for the next two months after Prime Minister Abe was shot down.
Did the BBC intentionally introduce Mr. Kazuto Suzuki as "a former aide to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe" only to find out that he was merely on Abe's side?
The video lacks an important fact that former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had close relations with an emerging religious organisation, and that his political decisions were influenced by the organisation, which shaped negative opinions against the state funeral.
Even with google and a library at our fingertips, news orgs, and people around the world, still fail to get the facts right.
And that religious organisation could lead Japan culturally falling into a oppressive religious state like Iran did in late 1970s.
@@EveLord-hx1me Japan is already religious with out a religion Japanese people just follow orders.
A wise man told me they are communist by heart, if it was not for the Americans japan would have been communist, they already have that mentality.
That's what we talking about
Political parties and politicians are associated with religious organizations in all countries. (e.g. Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union in Germany, Christian Democratic Party in Switzerland, etc.).
You write that former PM Abe had close ties with religious organizations, but the "close ties" were only reported by the media. It has been proven that he is not a believer. The only "close relationship" you have is that he was asked by that group to send a message of celebration.
And at the time Abe's grandfather began his relationship with the organization, the religious group was a strong anti-Communist group, a relationship that was important to his grandfather, who was an advocate of democracy.
You also say that his political decisions were influenced by the religious group, but which political decisions were influenced by the religious group? He did not decide any legislation for them.
On the contrary, why do you ignore the fact that former PM Abe passed a new bill (the revised Consumer Contract Law of 2018) to crack down on that group's activities that violated the law?
You must post facts, not speculation.
umm kind of forgot to mention the whole "unification church" stuff... thats a serious matter
Not really. Because politicians went to some conferences saying, "good good, you are all anticomunist. By the way support me on the elections" they are neither members of that religion nor promoters. Just a organization to get votes from. Also, you forget an important thing. Freedom of religion. I despite the Unification Church encouraging their believers to pay money as tribute, but that is unrelated to this politicians. Including Abe.
The whole deal with the Unification Church is stupid. It's an obvious overfocus by the opposition to get votes and media to get views.
A major point that BBC has missed to report is Abe's close connection with Korean Unification Church. This is the reason why he was shot by someone seeking revenge on Unification Church, and it is also the reason why people think Abe does not deserve state funeral.
Deutche Welle (German state broadcaster) has uploaded a video covering that specific point on UA-cam, which I encourage everyone in this comment section to watch. They also touches on Abe's unpopularity coming from his corruption allegations: another point BBC lacks in reporting.
All we know at present is that Shinzo Abe sent a message to the Unification Church.
There is currently no evidence of corruption.
However, there have been fabrications by the media.
The opposition lawmakers and the mass media continue to hide and report the connection between the Unification Church and the opposition lawmakers and the mass media.
I want you to know that the Japanese media continues to criticize Shinzo Abe while fabricating stories.
There was a man named Mr. Akagi who committed suicide.
Japanese media may blame Shinzo Abe. The Japanese media continued to report that
However, later something called the Akagi File emerged.
It is proof that Prime Minister Abe did nothing wrong.
After the Akagi File came out, Mr. Akagi was no longer reported on TV.
Still, some TV continued to report the Akaki File, but only the part that Shinzo Abe is not a bad guy is covered up.
There are some Japanese who believe the media's fabrications.
Japanese media is very strong in a bad way.
It is important to criticize the government.
But it is not good to criticize with lies.
I'm surprised Wing Commander gave no mention at all to the huge elephant in the room. I think the barrage of revelations has been a much bigger factor than constitutional reform agenda.
The Singapore government maintains a decades-long ban on Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Unification Church. The government banned Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1972 on the grounds the religion was prejudicial to public welfare and order because it objected to military service, reciting the national pledge, or singing the national anthem. A 1996 decision by the Singapore Appeals Court upheld the ban and stated that individuals (including members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses) have the right to profess, practice, and propagate their own beliefs, but may not act as members of an unlawful society or attend meetings of such banned groups. In practice, the government does not arrest Jehovah’s Witnesses for attending or holding meetings in private homes; however, it does not allow them to hold public meetings or publish or import their literature. The government banned the Unification Church in 1982 on the grounds it was a “cult” that could have detrimental effects on society.
@@deadox Japanese major news media, such as Asahi (ANN - All Nippon News Network) and TBS News, have full coverage and investigations on this subject matter. A number of Japanese politicians are scrutinized because of their ties with Unification Church. There are some morons (most likely trolls from Unification Church) are asking for "evidences". There are decades of hard evidences - everyone in Japan knows.
RIP Shinzo
Let’s respect Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. He done an excellent Job in Japan and the rest of the world. During pandemic he helps a lot of Japanese and foreigners. I agree 100 % for the STATE FUNERAL 💖
According to polls, about 60% of Japanese people don’t support Mr. Abe’s state funeral. This is because they are very concerned about his relationship with unification church and Japanese prime minister doesn’t explain why he decided to hold it, while he repeatedly says he will do so precisely.
According to a questionnaire survey of Yahoo Japan, 76% of the Japanese oppose the national funeral.
So untrue. pls, show me the article. The relationship with unification church was, in fact, happening with most of the Japanese politicians.

@@naoyot2777 Are you dumb or illiterate? There are decades of public information and recently disclosed evidences about Abe's connection with the founder of Korean Unification Church. Not only Abe, not also many members of Jimintou (LDP).
I am Japanese. Look at the opposition. Only old people. They are left-wing old people with the same mindset as they were 50 years ago. The latest political party approval rating is 36% for the Liberal Democratic Party and 5% for the Constitutional Democratic Party (left wing). The number of left-wing elderly people is decreasing, and the decline of the left-wing will not stop. This is the reality of Japan.

The mood has changed not only because of the dicision to have the state funeral. Don't forget to mention it is also the reason that Abe supported and was supported by Unification Church.

We don't want it. The man was as bent as a £3 note.
Abe already had a private funeral, which was not opposed.
The issue is that the LDP also want to give him a state funeral at taxpayer expense despite +60% opposed. State funerals are also not the norm to give any prime minister in Japan.

There are not a few people in Japan who call a neighboring country their homeland, and they are constantly pretending to be "Japanese" to undermine Japan in order to gain a place for themselves.
In Japan, the body is incinerated and turned into bones about a week after death.
a funeral include this celemony.
The bones are placed in an "urn" and placed in the grave while still in the urn.
This is called a burial ceremony.
He had already be bones.
some times, In the case of celebrities, we hold a farewell party in addition to the funeral. This time, the current prime minister decided on his own without going through the Diet to make this "farewell party" a "state funeral" and hold it entirely with tax money.
We know the fact that the former Prime Minister has done a lot of good things, but he has also done bad things. He is neither a king nor an emperor. and there was no legal basis for this. so we expressed our opposition.
Because we have the right to have an opinion on government policy.
I'm inclined to say tough titties - its a funeral, not a commitment to invade Taiwan.
Some people really need to get a perspective on things - you are insanely privileged to live in such a prosperous nation with such amazing history in times like these, and yet you complain.
@@Kris-ib8sn Just for schedule reasons. I think the government just needed time to consider and prepare many things, venue, its availability, contents, guests and processes. State funeral is the first time in the past 55 years.
Abe's family did the family funeral within a week after his death. Religious reasons have nothing to do with state funeral.
Even though both the Supreme Court and the National Legal Affairs Board have no problem with it as the scope of administrative law?
Most of people here are against the funeral not because of the defense policy he took but because of the tie with unification church. BBC not saying at all about it makes me doubt that there is any connection btw bbc and unification church. I believed BBC stays more independent from any specific organization to do fair reports, yet now I feel disappointed 😢
The BBC have always been massively pro-Tory, never independent
I feel completely the same as you said.
Mr Abe's connection with unification church is Media's usual almost baseless accusation. Mr Abe had no more connection with unification church than any other political parties. Decent Japanese do not trust media's so called 'poll' either. Half of those protesters are the elderly who still watch TV news and the rest are non - Japanese, some of them are paid to protest.
it's no doubt Most of japanese people have mourned his death. but Sinzo Abe's politics had some aspects both light and shadow. so some people think the state funeral by tax is not proper. the cost of funeral estimates over 11 million dollars.
The point is, as a PM he deserves a state funeral. Every country has issues with their heads of state, not everyone will like their decisions. The fun fact us, we don’t have to, the position he held makes him deserving it. The problem with heads of states, with PMs or even queens / kings and emperors is that they sometimes have to make unpopular decisions, we don’t have to like them but when they are helpful for the greater picture (which we not may know anything about) and to protect our countries they are made by these people.
If we don’t agree it doesn’t matter, we could empower them but they still deserve the right to get their state funeral.
£1 per person at most, I think that's fine don't you?
@@sc29607 No doubt he achieved FOIP strategy. This would be written in world history in future. But most of the people in middle class impoverished and many immigrants who Abe introduced begun to violate Japanese laws. He is recognized to have terminated Japan as a country with little economic inequality.
Because, same people follow the terrorist.
If they happen violence case, citizens and visitors are harmed.
I like Abe because he was a friend of my country the USA
he is a dog of US only
It is not fact.
Japan has still been the sarvant of the U.S.
Why protest against the funeral of a foreign leader? What’s the matter with people these days? I blame the fueling of social media platforms for these behaviors!
You do understand these protests aren't taking place over here, right?
And why NOT protest? If the people don't want their tax dollars being used for this event (because they would rather it be utilized elsewhere) then it's their right and responsibility to make it known.
@@Wintd1 I understand, which is why I am just bringing the obvious, the protest of a foreign leader happens everywhere not just in Japan!
The crucial reason for the opposition is that giving an ex-PM a state funeral does not have a constitutional ground and that PM Kishida and the LDP ministers have made the decision by themselves without following the appropriate procedure.
The real reason is that the ccp hired a rent a crowd of waumos to cause division in a country they don't like
ごきげんよう♪お勉強された？
A Japanese ultra right wing journalist said, "if the government holds Mr.Abe’s state funeral, Trump, Ts'ai Ing-wen, Zelensky, Putin, Biden, And Xi will definitely attend it."

What do you mean by that.
Funeral is just a abomination for me, Japanese. LDP and Japan govt ignoring democratic process. So disgusting.
How so?
Did you not elect the people who decided to hold this funeral?
Democracy has its limits and must do - otherwise nothing would ever get done with the govmt seeking public votes on every little issue.
I can promise you that the govmt is spendign many times what this funeal costs every year on a gamut of smaller, less visible decisions than this - that's just the way running a country works.
They can criticize their leader freely in Japan, even during his funeral arrangements. Here holding a, "Not My King" sign can land you in a cell and heckling a paedophile will get you dragged off while the police allow people to throw punches at you freely, even having a blank piece of paper that you may write something on is enough to be harassed.

Both organisations are pretty cultish, but the Witnesses at least stay out of politics, instructing their members to refrain from voting and so on. The problem with the Moonies is that they stay very much in politics.
No offense, but the Singaporean government, the only one Singapore has ever had, is pretty cultist too.

Not 'funeral' but 'memorial'. Shinzo Abe was doubtlessly the greatest and the most loved prime minster in the recent Japanese history. I wish BBC reported the long queue of the people who travelled from every corner of Japan to pay respect to Mr Abe. Someone even has voluntarily made an online page for the people who cannot travel, where any one can choose flowers and leave a short message to Mr Abe. I sadly witnessed the contrast between those who quietly stood in the queue for hours to join the memorial and the un-Japanese like, ugly behaviour of the protesters. They deliberately made loud noises. They have every right to express their opinions, however, they must respect other people’s feelings and had definitely no right to disturb the ceremony. I feel suspicious about the Media’s so called “poll”. Those protesters were in no doubt the “noisy minority”. Half of them were the elderly who still watch TV and believe in media's propaganda. Others were probably non-Japanese and some among them were likely to be paid to protest.
Regarding the unification church issue, Mr Abe had no more connection with unification church than any other politicians of any political parties.
I agree with this post a lot.
Let the guy Rest In Peace. Japan is loved by 🏴✌️.
I think people who do such demonstrations on the day are idiots.
Most Japanese mourn the death of former Prime Minister Abe,
with many people lining up early in the morning to pay their respects, and even laying flowers online.
Shinzo Abe, his father, and grand father’s relationship with *Unification Church has been revealed for three generations…😢

Thank you ‘mura bito’ san😊
and still managed to be prime minister, lol
Shortly after WW2, the US occupiers sought the help of the right wing Korean Unification Church against the left wing to form the LDP in Japan and brought Abe's maternal grandfather to power as Prime Minister
The “Unification Church” was just founded in 1954 and Mr. Abe was just born in the same year. And additional is Japan a democracy with a constitutional monarchy. There is no state religion in Japan, the constitution even gives everyone the free choice of religion, so why judging someone by which church or religion he follows? And the fellowship of a church has nothing to do with his governmental achievements. Just keep the “church” in town and allow him thus last thing… private matters shouldn’t be a reason to get denied what someone deserves, the majority of Japanese seemed to like the results but the fact (which I don’t know) that he has relations to a Christian organisation?
It should be noted here that, in contrast, there were many members of the public who lined up for hours to offer flowers. I cannot see only a few noisy people being reported in many news outlets.
I completely agree. I'm fed up with the BBC's biased reporting.
That's disgusting. They should just shut up and let the country grieve. They are completely beyond disrespect.

It is not the funeral but the ceremony.
Why do so many Japanese people refuse to use tax money? Because, while singing patriotic songs, I was watching the flow of funds to a Korean religious organization. With his death, the giant media barrier began to collapse.
Shortly after WW2, the right wing Korean Unification Church in some ways assisted the US occupiers to form the LDP in Japan and brought Abe's maternal grandfather to power as Prime Minister
Japan is aged. Look there are so many older people in the protest.
Your point of view is right 😂

Good point!!
Old people often watch television and read newspaper and these kind of biases old medias have been always anti-Mr. Abe.
Thus old people are against state funeral!!
It’s terrible when people have different political views.
What a daft statement 🙄
Even Ukraine was pacifist towards Russia (They even gave away their Nukes and relied on US,UK and even Russia as guaranteers - aka "Budapest Memorandum" …..Then 2014 Russia Annexed Crimea ...2022 Russia Annexed 4 more Oblasts in Ukraine )...........Abe is Right in focusing on Défense and moving from Pacifist Policy.
yes, I totally agree with you.
Western media should also report that the Revolutionary Communist League National Committee and the Japanese Communist Party were the organizers of the demonstration against the state funeral of former Prime Minister Abe. The leaflets of the demonstration against the state funeral read, "Oppose Japan-U.S. aggression against China" and "Oppose sanctions against Russia".
Tens of thousands of people formed long, long queues to offer flowers to Abe-san. They were very quiet and patient, very Japanese. The opposition groups were so small and they lost out completely.
In weekday,almost all the people are working.
So,it is obvious not to gather a lot of people who dont support to hold state funeral. But Japanese right wing can't understand it.

To me, as a Japanese, this video looks like a report that makes judgments based only on the superficial political situation in Japan. You should do a little more research into the depths of the Japanese political situation. There is a place called the Correspondents' Club of Japan where foreign journalists seem to gather information. There are many Japanese informants who hang out there with a purpose. They are often leftist, anti-regime, anti-Abe activists. Even if you try to write a new article with the material you gather information from here, it will only be an article that the informants have planned.

Abe played a role of human billboard of Unification Church.
He didn’t care about many people fall a victim to that antisocial force of Korean origin.
He just wanted a lecture's fee and a voting constituency.

Constitutional Revision is not a popular policy, yet Abe was Japan's longest serving PM through free and fair elections. The Japanese people are not mobilized in opposition, and the LDP is by far their largest and most successful party. If you are against revision, but still won't get out to vote for the CDPJ, then how legitimate is your opposition? It seems Japanese society casts a silent vote for maintaining conservative leadership.

“Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me'.” (George Orwell)
As someone who agrees with much of what Orwell wrote, this one got me *really* thinking, and caused quite a bit of cognitive dissonance. 🤔🙄

This is just a bad joke. If so, how many Japanese citizens will be saved? In the end, many Japanese people who were cornered by his politics and died could not be saved in the afterlife. Japan is no more than a declining developing country that has lost its sanity.
Japanese rarely express anger. But this time the anger is long and strong
Because all the Japanese media has propagated so that many ppl don't really know what's happening.
I am Japanese, but I feel that the political situation in Japan is not being accurately reported overseas. Western media should also report that the Revolutionary Communist League National Committee and the Japanese Communist Party were the organizers of the demonstration against the state funeral of former Prime Minister Abe. The leaflets of the demonstration against the state funeral read, "Oppose Japan-U.S. aggression against China" and "Oppose sanctions against Russia".
In Japan, groups with ideologies that oppose the regime hold such demonstrations not only against funerals, but also against any policy or event. As a result of such activities and media coverage, public opposition to various policies and events, such as this funeral, often grows. However, since many of the opposition parties in Japan have declared themselves to be in cooperation with the JCP, the sense of rejection has persisted, and support for the largest opposition party has fallen to 6%. As a result, expectations for politics have been lost, and our nation's voter turnout continues to decline. The fact that large demonstrations are taking place despite the large number of people attending this state funeral is nothing out of the ordinary and nothing special.
Do these people have any backbone? He made Japan ready to fight again… so how it is a bad thing?
Wait not burried yet?
He was burned.

I've had ice cream tonight and it had toffee sauce on it! 🍦🍦🍦
Most of Japanese young generation support national funeral. We really appreciated our great prime minister. Elder people who get information from only TV, or left side activists tried to stop this great ceremony. They will spoil our Japan by questionable policy.
Why...?...📼🔙
Please stop 🛑complaining about nothing 🙄🙄🙄 PM SHINZO ABE NEED STATE FUNERAL ✌🏼 Japan 🇯🇵 ARE opening FOR TRAVEL 🧭
Again and it's will BRING tourism's TO Japan 🇯🇵 AND helping Japanese People economy and opportunity for Japan 🇯🇵 openness to World.
look what happened to UPI press in US with the Moonies. Cultures and assimilative people prone to religious rule and peer pressure, where state rights override individual rights in all aspects, there you need to watch out what comprise or undermine what an outcome.
.. could be.
He died ages ago, so his corpse has just been rotting somewhere until now?
he was cremated.
many ppl against it because the costs. it will be 14 millions.
That's right and it only costs us less than 2 penny coins per each.
The weird thing about the protests is that if there is large support for pacifism, then why tf do war criminals still have statues and military honors? They still won’t talk about their crimes in their schools either. Complete bull
same with all countries, though
Chinese talking...

Today, Germany has outlawed nazi symbols, and acknowledges what their ancestors did. Japan actively honors their warcriminals with statues and military honors

The man is dead and has to face his creator. The body is just that a body that was made from the dirt of the earth. Who cares what happens to the body, it’s the soul that we should care about. How childish of people to be concerned about a state funeral. He is not here and has bigger fish to fry.

Shinzo Abe tried to militarize and make Japan self dependent from West,but look like these don't want that. Whatever I can't do anything the younger generation are more hooked with West. So let it be.
Japanese people absolutely right.
Great demonstration about Abe Shin-Jo. Thank you people......
Kamisama willhelp you all. Hoping so.
