The information in this video is based on my own discoveries, thoughts, findings and research. Especially regarding historical information, there are variations depending on region and numerous theories and explanations that have evolved over the years. My channel is just one possible source of information on Japan you can refer to, not an encyclopedia :)
#presentingjapan
Hi, Chika. I'm one of your Korean viewer and I'm glad to see that you mentioned both sides of the history regarding this island. Every history has both good and bad sides inevitably and I think we could make better history in future by pondering upon those aspects all together. By the way, as a student who studies both English and Japanese, your videos are very informative and helpful to me and please keep up with your good work! And again thank you!
JH Ryu I'm so happy you commented! I completely agree with you on making better history in the future by understanding the different perspectives to all of the things that have happened in the past. If we keep thinking that only one story is right, the conflict is never going to end. I wish the countries would start to see that someday, I know we do at the individual level :)
What do you mean you're Japanese president always try to a void comfort women and other things such as nanjing massacre in China but you know what no Koreans and chinese will never forgive unless Japanese nations is truly sorry and if you're nation is not sorry and try to attack Korea (North and South) Japan will cease to exist because of their military might and btw Don't mess with China or else their will be a probabilty of your countries extinction.
By the way, there are tours that take you on the island. Access is quite limited though (I believe there are only 3 small areas where tourists are allowed) and you can't freely walk around, but you get a closer look. Unfortunately when I went, a typhoon had hit a few days before and they were only allowing people in one of the areas, so instead we decided to take a boat tour that went around Gunkanjima giving us a 360* view.
Great video Chika! Very interesting to learn about this place. Thanks for uploading
David Hutchinson thank you for watching :)
Amazing coverage, thank you much gratitude!
Really cool video! Please keep them coming!
It seems more like Hell on Earth...
Interesting video, thank you.
45 deaths a month? Yes, definitely hell.
Hey Chika, I'm from Germany and I love to watch your videos your not just showing amazing places/food in Japan also giving historical background to it, I really appreciate your work and looking forward to your upcoming vids, keep up the good work! ^__^
Hippy0815 I'm glad you like the historical background because that's where I put a lot of my effort into :)
Wow, that was actually a truly awesome video! I think the best one on this channel. It was interesting, informative, and I liked hearing your thoughts on the topic. Please make more of these!
Look forward to more of your trips! がんばってon the editing! :P
Michele Hii ありがとう！
Wow! I've seen pictures of this island before, but I never knew that there was so much history attached to this place. Thanks for the video!
MsNinjani Glad you liked it :)
you (and some other RUclipsr) are my new history channel ^^ this footage is amazing... I wish there was more but don't push yourself too hard... I appreciate all of your videos and you're doing a great job :)
Nifuruc thank you :) trying to upload weekly!
WOOOOW. Thanks for the video on this! So interesting!
Aside from the past, right now it just looks so gorgeous! Like a lost abandoned paradie! (Like I said, ignore the past & just look at it & that's what I'm seeing)
Oh man!! I am looking forward to rest of the footage of different cities. =D
English & Japanese subs available thanks to Takumi :)
Heaven on earth?!
Seriously im just speechless how you state it as a "cool" looking island. Please don't be so tone deaf. Japanese never will acknowledge the pain caused to Koreans, but cmon... please at least be careful with your words.
슬프고 실망 스럽다...
Great video, thank you for sharing your fun and professional videos. Aloha from Hawaii!
Aloha To You Glad you like them! Mahalo!
Japanagos（ジャパナゴス） If you ever come to Hawaii, it would be cool to collaborate a video with you. Mahalo!
I've actually heard about this island before! I saw beautiful shots of it on tumblr I think, a few years ago but I never really knew what was so important about the island, so thanks so much for making an informative video about it :)
It's like the Alcatraz of Japan. And I LOVE that bridge! So cool.
You made a great job. I respect you.
I actually live in Nagasaki but haven't been there! Looks really cool though! Thanks for sharing this. I really appreciate when people come to Nagasaki since it's not as popular as other destinations. Good luck with the rest of your editing! ^^
You are absolutely adorable and I LOVED this video! :)
I just went here earlier this week!! Amazing tour with such a rich history.
PhixienVlogs perfect timing! I bet it was busy!
Thank you for the wonderful video! I enjoyed it very much. I want to make a video like this someday, probably soon. 私もがんばるぞ〜 You are my inspiration!
Yukari Williams As long as you enjoy editing, I'm sure you'll be making videos like this in no time! I'm really not using any difficult techniques!
I really enjoy your videos. As a foreigner living in a more rural area, it's hard to learn about the history of the things I see without much Japanese skill. So I really appreciate this channel. Even when you teach English. I found your video on 「よろしくお願いします」very helpful because so many people ask me how to translate that!
WOW!! The blue of the sea is very beautiful !! I was moved !! thnak you !!
Great video, Chica; thanks for sharing your experience, and also for providing a balanced perspective on Battleship Island's history. One of the things that struck me most deeply while watching it is the fact that nature erodes the works of man very quickly once people are no longer around to maintain their physical integrity. Anyway, both the island and Nagasaki are interesting places, and this video makes me want to visit them all the more. As a Japanese person might say to you at the end of the day: "thank you for your hard work" (I also hope that your books are selling well, because you deserve to be highly successful! :)
Robert Ryan I know!! I can't believe that just after 50 years a city can look like this! Granted, all of the waves crashing against it and all of the sea breeze is probably the major factor in such fast erosion. Thanks for the お疲れ様 :) and the little bit about my book. That means a lot!
Subtitles coming soon! 字幕はもう少々お待ちください！一旦なしでアップします！
One day subtitles un spanish too😝😝
Miguel Ángel Romero mi video de Gunkanjima esta subtitulado en espanol!! :) En mi canal lo encuentras en el parte mas abajo donde se dice "Japan Topics" :)
rtcmanga muchas gracias!!
There are alive people who worked at battleship island. That's the evidence. And they got a terrible food, working at 45°c for 12hours. It was just a hell. One of of SGM International exchange club member.
英語を一旦書き出してhearingできるので、手間はかかると思いますが本当に感謝しています！。TVﾄﾞｷｭﾒﾝﾄで１人の男性が世界遺産になったのでここでの生活を誇りに思えるようになった…と言われてました。深い意味があるんだと思いました。Neatral information is inportant。色んな事を考えてshareしてくれつありがとう！I wish you luck ！！
Hahaha, when Chika first mentions getting on the boat, I saw the cruise ship and my eye widens...followed by a slight frown as she board the small boat xD
On another hand the island is awesome! Although it should have been called Koubojima, since it looks more like an aircraft carrier from top-down.
I really like the way you made videos and the thoughts on it. Im learning japanese for almost 2 years but not always...and so i really like to learn more about japan, language and the culture... Thanks :-)
thank you very much Ma'am!
I've always wondered how they calculate population density, especially with really really big areas like Tokyo.
Is it as simple as dividing the population by the total square footage?
If I remember correctly,you was born in Nagasaki.
I've never been to Nagasaki.
So I really want to go there.
Of course, Gunkanjima too.
It has a historical atmosphere.
Thanks for sharing the video!
I love your Japanagos.:)
I love the story and the history of the island on a side note love your hair color in the video works very well for you and also your jacket I'm not sure if that's a short or a jacket you're wearing but the contrast with your hair and the color of the jacket and the color of your eyes it all works very beautifully but yes history was when the island ever affected by the Nagasaki bombings by the U.S?
I was a bit reluctant about uploading this video because of all of the conflict regarding the "truth" about what happened at Gunkanjima, but realizing that it's all truth from a different point of view, I decided to share both sides of the story. I've posted some related links in the description of the video if you want to do some further reading :)
Arigatou gozaimasu
I learned a little bit about Gunkanjima when I was in elementary school.However,I didn't even notice that this island has such "truth" about what happened there.Thanks for uploading this,Chika-san:)
Hi,Chika. Thank you so much for up this video. I looked forward to the video.
I loolked twice and I was able to be understand me without subtitles.Because you told me in the book "You don't have to be perfect !" so,I enjoyed .
I'm going to walking gunnkannjima by googlearth function.haha
忙しいと早寝早起きもで来ないでしょうが、頑張ってる証拠だよね〜⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
字幕機能で見ましたが、これは自動字幕ですね。修正するのかな？意味は伝わりますねw
私は以前テレビで特集を見たので、ここでどのような事があったかを理解しています。
建築についてもかなり貴重ですね。掘り下げて紹介しているのはさすがですね。
また、ちかちゃんの故郷でもある長崎のレポートもいつかお願いします。こちらも調べれば調べるほど勇気のいるものになるでしょうね。歴史はともかく、観光地としても誇れるビューポイントが沢山ですね。
私も何度か行っているので、是非いつか取り上げてくださいね。
+manma doll very strange little island nation
+vincentvanceable Yes ,there are! You can go there by Google earth function:)
Thanks for sharing. I will be going :P
This is a great video! I've always wanted to make a video about Gunkanjima on my channel, but there's no way I could make a video this good. It was really interesting to watch and your English is soooooooo much better than mine! ...ちかさんには一生勝てそうにないです...羨ましい(>
You saw The World Cruise Ship! That's awesome!
If you guys like to know more about Hashima/Gunkanjima Island from the Korean perspective (which Chika mentioned a bit ^^), you can check out the latest episode from the Korean variety show "Infinity Challenge" eps 445 (or 97 if you watch it on DramaFever). The focus on Hashima Island starts from about 30 mins into the episode.
I, too, believe that there are always 2 sides to every story and am just sharing just to let people know what goes on around us.
FYI I'm neither Korean nor Japanese, just someone who loves the culture from those 2 beautiful countries and love sharing my knowledge about them. Have a good day! :)
Great video what camera are you using?
positiveな意見、negativeな意見、両側面の意見があることが聞けたのは、かなり勉強になりました。
Hey Chika ! Amazing video as always ;)
I have a question, how do you edit your videos ? Is it free ?
I will go to Japan in july so I want to upload a video !
yumika43 yup, I edit all of my videos :) I use an editing software called final cut pro, which is about 25,000yen, but imovie, which comes free with macs is more than enough for basic editing :)
I want to use iMovie but I can't because I have a basic personal computer. But thank you, keep up the good work :)
高校の修学旅行の中のオプションで軍艦島が選択肢にあったのに、選ばなかったことを後悔してます（；＿；）一度行ってみたい場所です。
You finally uploaded lol
Thank you for sharing :-)
I love those types of places: ghosts towns and abandoned buildings. I'll add this to my bucket list, along with Chernobyl. The rock formation at 2:50 by the lighthouse sort of looks like one of those lion-dog komainu statues.
Wonderful; video and comments - does anyone know where I get the song lyrics to the Battleship Island Soundtrack by Kim-soo-an in English? Its a beautiful song
I had no idea about this island! It sounded like an amazing place to be at the time. It's really cool that the people there were living with more luxuries than the bankers! It's really sad about the miners, though. I kind of thought it'd be that way after hearing it was coal.
Is this the Island that inspired the one from Forbidden Siren 2? Would be great to visit it at night, with just a flashlight :)
Thanks for the background. I was going to ask about the working conditions in the mine, since even in the US the coal mines of that time were not the safest. On the flip side, if you could afford luxuries, that means you had plenty of food to eat, ie: a large assortment of side dishes to go with rice.
It would be awesome if that place had people living there again. I wanna go there.
Its a ghost island 😂
"...However, there was a dark side to coal mining."
ちかちゃん、今年の夏休み軍艦島行ってきます‼︎
oh wow i wasin nagasaki for 2 days just before. didnt know about this.
i went up to mt inasa though
I think this is the best video you posted, given the fact that it includes "some political aspect" in it.
Battleshipは戦艦だと思ってたんですが、他の艦種を含めた軍艦の意味でも使うという解釈で良いんですか？
だとしたらその使い分けってどのようにするんでしょうか？
I was very glad to hear you say that studying the history gave you new things to think about. That's true of a lot of history. But history doesn't "come alive" for a lot of people until they "touch" it so to speak. That's why it's important to visit these places. I plan on visiting Egypt, Greece, and Israel (and Japan!) so I can "touch" the history I've read so much about. Lucky you you're already there! (must not be jealous, must not be jealous,must not be....)
chargerfryar Also, for not getting this out earlier....Slacker!!!
(I'm teasing, I know you have a million things going on,lol)
chargerfryar no, you're right. I've been slacking :( lol I would love to visit those countries as well! So much more out there to see!
素晴らしい*°
日本語字幕までありがとうございます(＾ｰ^)ノ⭐︎英語→日本語に訳さなくてよくなっちゃいましたww Thanks a bunch! 😁
hello i what to learn more about the history hashima island just like our coriggedor island in the philippines
Seen from afar, it definitely looks like the Alcatraz in san francisco！！
OH Attack on Titan live action take place at that gunkanjima island /////;;_;;///// thank you very much for the information you gave about gunkanjima :)
ヒアリングのお勉強にはかかせないjapanagos♩
待ってました軍艦島(笑)
全て聞き取れないけど、何回も繰り返し見てます(￣▽￣)
ちかちゃんの髪の毛が短くて幼く見えますね^^
the gunkanjima trailer ost was by Sarah AIainn right?
It is just what talking by a photograph and the explanation of this animation. In this island, much coal was mined before a war. After the war many Japanese worked diligently. There was much Japanese life in the house which became the ruins. Because it was the times of the oil after high growth of the economy, it was with remains with a state of the life being left. It became the significant historic spot which showed an initial stage of industrial development of Japan.
The battleship island 2017 movie, brought me here...
軍艦島！子どものとき、テレビＣＭで見て以来、ずっと気になっていた島です。
確かに、日本の近代化を担った場所。自分で行って、自分の目で見なければ！と思うケド、
世界遺産に登録されてしまうと、いままで以上に混雑してしまうかも知れませんね。
ずーっとこの動画のUP 待ってました。
最近ニュースになりましたね。
さすが ☆ 先見の明 有り！
Last but not least, you mention I'm so anal when it comes to editting.
I assume you got a lot of things on your mind.
No wonder YOU are perfectionist(☆∀☆)
My husband is planning to go to Gunkanjima next month. So I will show this video to him. But I have to translate English into Japanese. It is too difficult for me. But I will give it a shot.
NAONAO subtitles coming soon! I promise!
Wow, neat video! I live in Japan, but I've never heard of this place. Super interesting. Thank you very much for making this.
軍艦島もちかさんの英語も素敵です！
やはり、軍艦島は廃墟感がでていて探検したいですね。
i can hear the scream of those who lost their lives on this island. slave labor...war crime....rest in peace..
I'm pure Japanese but I enjoyed a lot. I realized that I hardly knew Japan.
If I know the japanese people well enough,under the Battleship Island there is a huge secret hangar where they are building a 1:1 size version of the Battleship Yamato :D
全然英語と関係ないですが、白Tｼｬﾂとｼﾙﾊﾞｰﾋﾟｱｽ、ｼﾝﾌﾟﾙだけどとても似合ってます😍CM見た時からずっと‼気になって待ってました。北海道もあるの？ﾀｲもあるんでしょ？I wish I could see it！！
You seem to really like this place, maybe you should live here in 1940 as a korean and tell us how fun it was after... well if you survive i guess:)
世界中に人々が行き来できる時代になって、何人が悪いと言うような考え方がなくなるといいですね。
人は家族を贔屓目で見るように民族にも同じ意識が働くみたいです。人種でくくるのではなく、その人の行いで判断したいなと、そうできればいいなと思います。
日本人、中国人、韓国人の中にも同じだけ良い人悪い人が居るのではないでしょうか?
平和でなければ、悪い行いも増えると思います。
平和な世の中を作るために、偏った考えに取り憑かれず、冷静で広い心が持てますように。
Nice videooo
春休みに軍艦島行きました！！坂本さんの話にとても感動しました（；＿；）
坂本道徳さんに会われましたか？
Nice information. Such awesome sights. Can anyone just go to the island for a tour?
***** yeah, anyone can go on the tours, but you can't freely roam around the island. It's pretty limited where you can go.
Same island from the James Bond movie?
This looks more like Hell Island , just as Alcatraz Prison.
A nation that forgets its past has no future
Be Free I agree she only talks about how well residence are living but she never mentions the history of it. So cunning and evil.
@TakeshimaIsJapan!!! Anata ga Tadashidesu nee😀😀( you are right )
初めまして！！初コメント失礼いたします。じつは、今うちの店（飲み屋）に、軍艦島の伝道師の方が来ています。テレビにでたりＤＶＤも出している方です。今度行ってみたいな～。
14回で見れたの初めて！
A lot is movies are filmed there~ like Attack on Titan for example
Are you proud of this island?
Creametories haha... anyway, a beautifully made video.
The best way to walk around the island is through this video! ruclips.net/video/c5kmKO_gGsc/видео.html
This place is beautiful! I love Japan!
Japanagos（ジャパナゴス） Now there is a park, all over. Would be great if they cleaned up some of the buildings, and also built a small shrine with a garden and reflection pool
Japanagos（ジャパナゴス） Could you imagine walking among the ruins of this once living city, hushed by the deafening silence of the past? I'm sure if you listened carefully you would hear the lives of people on the streets, the laughter of students in the halls of the now empty schools, and the conversations at the diner tables of the families who departed long ago. Stuck between the past and the present, you walk down the once busy streets as an eerie chill travels down your spine and goose pumps rise on your skin.
Dave Carlson there you go! lol we always manage somehow, right?
Very good!
Thanks for some of the old photos of the island. Do you have any photos of the shafts and loading facilities? I will not wade into the argument but I will say, regardless who is in the coal mine, it is an absolutely horrible job. Coal gas explosions and black lung are just a few things that could kill you slowly or quickly. Coal mines are dark ,wet, cold and deadly. I live in an area where coal mining was huge and many died. If anyone tells you how great it was to work in a mine they are either lying or nuts. Go for a tour into an old mine, turn off the lamp and listen to the water trickling and the creaking ( tommy knockers) you will quickly change your mind.
Doug Abbott
Yes, coal mining is a horrible job today. But she is talking about the last century.
@@KD-ee3vq So am I. Turn of the century. West ray, Spring hill , Nanimo, Hillcrest just to name a very few.
Doug Abbott
You are probably talking about late 20th century.
Life was tougher in the first half.
Wage slavery, racism, famine, war, poverty and crimes.
nobody’s life was easy.
Coal mining surely was a risky job but it was at least high income.
@@KD-ee3vq Nanaimo mine explosion occurred on May 3, 1887, in Nanaimo, British Columbia killing 150 miners . Wages and conditions were very poor.This all worked toward unions and strike for better wages and safety. Much,much later did the job pay at least decent wages.
Doug Abbott
Westray is 1990s.
I will watch the video later after the subs are available
#TheHypeIsRealThough xD
You so proud to be family member of killer lol
Young Park
It is true that Korean soldiers massacred innocent people in Vietnam but not all Korean are killer.
小豆島は、あまり悩まずにアップして下さい！
是非、広島にもお越しください。
This island played a very significant role in Japan's industrialization and helped Japan's economy grow during the Meji period. And the Chinese and Koreans died in harsh environment. Then large amount of what Japan is now is built on the blood of these people.
Anyway, right now, it is a very important historical location.
Teach the history truthfully so that we don't repeat it.
Wow English japanese
This island is beautiful.
peaceful!!
It was hell lol
As a Korean I really respect your historical sites of industralization and economic development. But I think that it is quite not right and odd to include a historical site that forced korean laborors to work in coal mines.
Hankeol Kwon You big liar
As a Japanese I think this island is important in Japan history and should be put in UNESCO, but I think balanced cooperation of Korean and Japan for historical explanation about Korean workers can be include.
Give the lady a break, she is not an historian to feed us some history facts about the island, this are for tourists interested in nagasaki. All this hate for someone who has nothing to do with the war of the past is useless. She is trying to enjoy her trip.
