What Japanese Think of The Tokyo Train Attack By The ‘Joker’ | Street Interview
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 ноя 2021
- By now, you may have seen the viral video of a man in the Joker costume attacking people and setting a train on fire in Tokyo. On the night of Halloween, the Joker ended up injuring as many as 17 people with a knife, and according to the local media, the suspect told authorities that he “wanted to kill people so he could be sentenced to death.” This is actually the second mass knife attack in two months. But Japan has the reputation for being one of the safest countries in the world, so how can something like this happen repeatedly? How do the locals feel about these incidents and the public safety in general? Our Asian Boss reporter hit the streets of Tokyo to find out.
The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Japanese population.

Shout out to the old man saying there’s too much emphasis on results in both work and education in Japan. That takes guts to say.
He's right, but when you get to his age, people say anything they want. It's the norm. I love listening to people his age rant. So much truth in much of what they say.
That takes guts to say? What?
Actually when it comes to Japan, showing results at work (unless you're a salesman) is nowhere even close to being a priority. The priority is creating an image of a hard-working you. That you do a lot of overtime, you appear to be in deep thought in front of your computer, you're well-mannered, you go to drinking parties, etc. Japanese companies are notorious for their extremely low productivity.
So much respect when he tackled about that topic. Sadly it will never be solved
I completely agree. Even in the US as well with work and education. Although there was no class or course that everyone need to learn with taxes and how to form a resume.
*"They're* *only* *concerned* *about* *grades.* *That's* *their* *focus."* Schools really have to change their education systems, this doesn't only happen in Japan but worldwide as well.
students in many countries are only concerned about their grades but they dont start a stabbing rampage and set a train on fire
@@dbuc4671 but it does affect them both emotionally and mentally, imagine what could have happen to them once they get a failing mark/grade. Most students care about their grades because of the high expectations of their manipulative parents/family to them, especially students who came from an asian family.
Very true. Because if the school doesn't only focus on the students' grades then there won't be anymore students that would choose su**ide.
Meanwhile in Philippines :
Who cares about Grades if you can just buy Diploma and just get some Seminars and became a Lawyer , Engineer or Doctor in just 3 months
Agree school system really focus on grade, not only children can be disappointed with their grades but there are many children who only know how to study and get good grades without knowing their true interests, hobbies and desires.
A good example of the importance of mental health, educating people about mental health, and emphasizing the importance of keeping up with people's mental health.
keeping up with people's mental health can deteriorate yours in return :(
Not only that, be kind to others , rudeness breeds more rudeness
@@unknowing5818 yes but that’s why boundaries are set up, also you don’t have to do it always.
Just check in every once in a while but especially when things in someone’s life have changed majority
Its important if all of it is applied.Without it its gonna be a problem for the person's health.
@@pabloemilioescobargaviria9914 thx pablo.Also one more drug for night.
11:17 This guy is on point. I witnessed it myself. it was frustrating at times to have anyone voice their opinions , even on, small topics. This guy look comforable and confident.
Yes, if people and goverment had his views, society would be much healthier.
Hit me in my feels all kinds of ways, because I can relate to what he said.
@@unknownentity8256 you what
@@coolestloser5341 I can relate to what he said.
Agreed
Agreed...That guy is based
I'm really impressed by the depth and intelligence of everyone interviewed. They all raise such valid points
Yeah exactly
ikr i was so amazed at their ability to express their povs, can't relate TT
Nah, you've just gotten used to the US level.
except the old dude who didn't do any research about this lmao, the death penalty was the reason the man stabbed people. and he still ranting about killing people for drug use
@@NeostormXLMAX he wasn’t ranting he was saying in China he believed that happened and that that was more severe than Japan🤨
11:55 so dope he is sharing his story allot of people go through that
9:48 this guy gets it. His life experiences gave him a very useful perspective on this situation
Above all he is so kind. He has healed from his own trauma and genuinely wants to help others to heal. As many people as possible, as he says. People like him make this world a better place. I was really moved by his words.
In all of them i think this guy knows the issue so deep as well, yeah he experienced this once but still has such a good mindset and encourage people. I truly respect him ngl
Each one of them expressed themselves so well being brutally honest in that five six minutes of interview. And I was surprised when they said they don't have harsh laws.
that old guy is wrong by so many levels, since the guy committed the crime specifically wanting to get the death sentence, if japan didn't have it, he wouldn't have much incentive to commit it
@@NeostormXLMAX technically it's indirect suicide which probably considered mental health issue that might give him pass if he tried to defend himself...unless japan law is strict then maybe he will be executed anyway
@@NeostormXLMAX Nah... for that kind of crazy, if it wasn't to get death penalty then he would try to make police officers to shot him to death.
@@NeostormXLMAX then if there no death sentence there will more killing because they know they will be protected by law from death.
What so harsh about it? Death sentences to the murder of the innocence? That's literally how every country should handle their murder.
Woahh... the old man who said about lacks of morality is so cool. I think it's true that school nowadays don't really teach about morality, even though they always said it on their school motto, but the reality... they always focus on grades and who scores better, students feel burdened and depressed, and no good moral get influence on them. Even in my school I can see teachers behavior that isn't good like favoritism and not care enough to their student:"(( they just want the result not the process
Its not enough to teach Morality , people also need to be able to develop Empathy, to recognize what other people are feeling and understand where they are coming from. They say that in Japanese schools there is a lot of bullying , but where does that idea to bully other kids come from? Not enough is done to uproot that problem.
Yeah, what's the point of education if it lacks morality in the first place ? What's the point of making intelligent but heartless people ? Even if they have their talents, they won't act out anything because they don't feel the need to
Isn't this primarily the job of the parents? I've heard of parents blaming schools for not teaching their kids to be respectful to janitorial staff and that's just wrong.
@@anhtho7042 People are not born with morality and many of their so-called talent are similarly nurtured throughout life through teaching , that is why early education towards empathy and morality is so important.
Wise man.
Greatest respect for the guy in 11:16.
And I was very relieved to hear the important point about the poor education that focuses solely on grades.
What a great in depth video this was, so many intelligent perspectives regarding social issues, media portrayal and mental health in Japan. This is why I subscribed to Asian Boss keep up the amazing work
Yeah, well said
I wonder how many interviews (people) they did in here. I assume this is a selection of interviews or all people were so smart and elaborate?
@@pioneeringworks The Japanese are one of the most highly IQ and educated people.
If I remember correctly the guy who caused fire at kyoani was doing it because kyoani had supposedly stolen his idea in an anime, not because he's imitating an anime scene
Yeah, i was gonna leave this comment. Also, the man was 41 years old. He wasnt "the youth" struggling with separating anime from real life.
Yes, but he was also watching a lot of animation while being locked up in his apartment all day long, I’m sure that also affected his mental state. It’s just not healthy for anyone to sit and watch that stuff 24/7, There’s no way around it.
@@rai2423 this has nothing to do with the animation or the movie though. Locking yourself up in a small room is never good for your mental health. The man's life was reported to be full of difficulties. Trying to put most of the blame on the animation when there are too many other more important factors to be taken into account is simply nonsense in my opinion. I've never found any studies that say animation ruins your mental health
@@Nobody-jp7lmExaacttlyyyy. Anything in excess is unhealthy, yes. But it doesnt mean you're going to MURDER PEOPLE. You need to be pushed much further, and its already been proven time and time again that games and animations dont lead to this. I too spent a period of time watching anime all day, every day and all it did was make me tired. Now im a professional illustrator and amateur animator and the only thing animation did was make me want to tell deep stories, but even the violent shows i watched, didnt lead me to want to kill. The thing is, even when i was depressed, animation and games were ESCAPES from that darkness. It was when i was stuck in my head or in silence that the depression really took hold.
I never blamed others for my depression though, so ive never experienced that type of anger. And also over here its easier to speak about mental health. I had outlets and resources assist me and help me through. In japan a lot of people still keep this in.
@@SeageSpeaks wait I didn't know that info
I'm confused, that man said that harder punishments would prevent such things from happening... But this guy literally did that for getting the hardest punishment. Death...
Death is the easiest way out. Being in confined prison with no way to kill yourself is worse. Imagine being stuck in a box for the rest of your life being forced to eat food and live a boring and never ending life. That is what I call the hardest punishment.
I don't think death is the hardest punishment since it's not punishing you in any way. When you die, you just die, you can't feel any punishment or even a feeling of regret.
@@TouYubeKids it is from the perspective of most victims
I believe torture is the best punishment. But we're way past that era.
He also compared it to China with its very harsh punishments.... And yet there are several cases of rampage killings every year in China. Deterrence only works for normative folk with plenty to lose. It does nothing to those who are both desperate and mentally unstable.
person with grey jacket and shoulder length hair was giving some really good points! like i really like what they were saying and how they said it!
I disagree. He basically said it was an individual problem not a society problem. There already have been a few criminal cases like this in Japan. There's something need to be changed and revised in Japan's upbringing education in school and at home, such as moral education, religion education, mental health care and how people treat each other in society. Like what we hear in this video, bullying is still common in Japan and there is no good solutions or actions from the authorities that this bullying cases happen such as school's authority or workplace's authority.
Ok but can we appreciate how most of them in fact nearly all of them agreed that the attacker needed to face the consequence of his own actions, surely he was not in the right mind but the fact he chose to hurt other people is not right. Also props to the guy who said that the root of the problem must be handled first because who knows how many people get released with no sort of help and end up doing the same thing again.
People who commit this kind of crimes in Japan are never in their right mind, people who commit this crimes in general aren't in their right mind, but that's not an excuse.
3:24 bullying is seriously a big problem in Japan... I think bullying culture of Japan is even worse than physical bullying. Eventhough Japanese language doesnt contain serious insults or curses, the way they bully people are so harmful and more hard to cure psychologically…
Not just Japan but Korea and China too
Nah, every countries from small to top nation have bully problem, it's a human thing. Bully usually happen due to envy & narcissistic.
@@bendegorro754 bully is not a thing in my country. I actually had to leave my country to discover it and it took me years to learn the word for "bullying" in the language my country speaks. I knew the word for bullying in my host country and in English before I knew it in my country's language.
@@bendegorro754 while that is true, in other country bullying usually happen in cliques and spread through. Meanwhile in Korea and Japan, the bullying sometime is systematically done by an entire *grade*. They ostracize, but then include the victim to torment them, again and again. And it doesn't stop after they graduate either. It is a huge problem and Korean Education Ministry make countermeasure against bullying every year, but the situation barely change, if at all
@@malikasilla1475 when a group of kids playing and there's one who bossing around the weaker kid, it's bullying. When a boss in the office doing power harassment, like forcing worker to do extra hours, that's bullying. You may don't have the words, but human always the same. When someone get the upper hand of another, through ranks or stature, either he/she become a good leader/friend, or to become a bully/manipulator. It's very similar to Korea, they didn't acknowledge bully until 2000's, when it's become a heat discussion. For them, it's seniority and the junior have to endure.
It doesn't matter if a country is consider the safest in the world, an outlier can still form based on how they were influenced by their surrounding, upbringing, and most importantly, the media they consumed. It's not just the society's fault or the individual's fault, it's both.
Yup.
"most importantly, the media they consume" that basically sounds like people in USA saying that playing GTA makes the youth go out doing crimes
most importantly media they consume? What bull shiet. It's how they were raised and taken care of. If they get abused by people they love, chances are they either become saints later in life, become broken, or become crazy. Watching a movie with tons of violence doesnt change a person, its the other crap that starts it first.
Safety is not guaranteed.
There is no thing such as the “safest country”, if an individual is willing to commit such an act, then they will. This world we live in is already dangerous, we’re just taught what to do and not to.
The gentleman not showing his face is correct 100 percent. Respect to him.
11:16 I love this because it really shows how much anxiety is in the Japanese society; how pleasing someone else at the expense of your own is normalized. I really wished it wasn't the case for them, as that can result in horrible mental health and can lead to self-harming or self-destructive behavior. I hope them all the best. Great interviews, love hearing them speak out about their country's mistakes.
The depth this video goes is too good. As a foreigner living in Japan I could relate to all of the views on this issue. The topic of mental health is a kind of taboo and people strain from talking about it. Good to see people actually addressing it. Glad to see all different perspectives on a single issue.
Particularly liked that young guy in glasses, he was so apt an dclear in all his answers. As usual a great video from Asian boss, keep up the good work.
To the male with shoulder length hair, he elaborated that it was an individual problem and not a societal problem. This is the attitude that feeds the dark-side of Japan. The system is clearly failing, and more societal support is needed to prevent and manage mental illness.
Totally agree with you!
Yes... I was inclined to believe what he said bc honeslty I found him really handsome but I'm not sure I agreed with him... but then I can't say I know japanese society from the inside like he does, so I don't know what my judgement is worth
I don’t think he meant to say that their society and system is perfect. With editing it just didn’t translate well. I think he said like they all felt discontent with life especially now during pandemic but he’s not going around harming people. In my perspective, he just meant that they all live in the same society, same laws, all have struggles in life it’s how you as an individual cope with it.
@@kerrengamboa5120 exactly
it's me‼️
He was talking about the individual and the incident itself he made valid points ,if you listen closely he even said that his generation believe that it's them that will change Japan.
If you look at the situation it's an isolated case but it's related to a certain side of Japan like bullying ,stress mental, health, suicide, ect a lot of people are touched by something like that in Japan.
He gave another perspective of the situation and didn't blame it all on the system (like many international people do with their country's) .
Damn, we do live in a society.
It dosent matter
Fellow trash taste fan
This comment says a lot about society
Never gets old
It’s interesting to see the discussion on mental health in Japan expanding. Until it isn’t stigmatized to seek help, or even have access to help, people that clearly need said help will continue harming themselves, and others. It doesn’t mean what this man did was right, or even that anyone condones it, but that there is clearly a point where a human ends up in a position of wanting police suicide. No matter how modern we may think of ourselves - especially in first world nations - we still have a long way to go. I would argue mental health, especially during the pandemic (as it isn’t over), should be a number one priority. Suicide and attacks like these are only becoming more prevalent, and we need to start asking systemically what we need to do, because it’s only going to get worse
You're right. While talks of helping those who need it sound great, there needs to be actions taken to help these people in the end. They need someone to turn to to just vent and get everything off their chests. So long as nothing happens to help people, attacks like these are going to get more violent as their leaders only become more creative in their destruction.
Well, in some places, it's been destigmatized to the point of people using it as a shield for anything.
16:16 Japan should be proud to have young people such as that college guy to want to improve the harsh situation for the future of the country.
This was an absolutely brilliant video. I don’t think I’ve heard so many of the people interviewed be honest about mental health and the state of the country right now like this until this one. Especially from these people who are the same age as me in about the 20s really do wish for the country to change. The country is still very much a safe one, but one that is also incredibly stifling and needs to remove this to prevent actions like this attack from bubbling up again in the future.
the last guy, what he said about the youth changing Japan in 10-20 years, really touched my heart
Difficult and very sensitive subject but i think, i agree with guy mini 9:49. Society need to stop being stubborn on mental health, put and end to unnecessary events of hate, depression and deep sadness. No all people handle problems or life in general the same way, some people need more care. In order to mantain safe all, we need to care for the ones who need it on some kind estress.
Everybody have nice day or night✌️
Im one of those people, all I want is someone that cares but no one does not even my family 😭 All I want is a friend or someone who loves me
i was watching Trash Taste podcast and they were talking about light penalties/punishments for crimes (e.g. sexual harassment on trains in Japan). Could Asian Boss also delve into interviews with everyday people about this? Japan even has a female only train car.
As much as Japan is safe, I’m grateful and thankful to be born and grow up here in Singapore, the punishments are very heavy for any sort of crimes, even those seem as petty; which does end up making Singapore safe
The US has some of the toughest and longest sentences in the world and yet it hasn’t led to significant permanent reductions in crime rates. If it were as simple as tougher punishments = fewer crimes then every country would do that. Reality is not black and white. There are no easy solutions to anything in life.
Have fun with your draconian laws, I'm glad Japan isn't as overwhelmingly strict as Singapore while still being very safe.
@@Raff766 But the two countries on safeness are different. Japan's result of safe is a mixture of systematic and cultural results over the years whole Singapore's safeness is almost entirely on authoritative and systematic safeness born out from an era of instability.
7:11 I agree with this guy. I spent 5 years in Japan and was able to learn about the 'bad' side of the country. I think if Japanese had access to guns, it would be chaos. To add to this, Ive been in Japanese detention centers (friends); so much drug use in certain parts of the country.
I really like the guy @ 3:45 . The depth of what he is saying is not just in Japan this is for this new generation all over the world. The internet is there but it's all about how you use it. But this new generation of minds get put on so young that there is no time to be taught what is this and that. Totally agree with that part. It can be very overwhelming.
Echo chambers are scary
@@S3aCa1mRa1n LOL Seems like you've gotten caught in your own fears 😨. Saaaavvveee yourselffff!!
You need parenting that's for sure and responsible ones. But to blame it on the internet is something that I don't necessarily agree, he doesn't seem to recall what happened with the previous generations...during the mid 30' and 40's and they didn't have all the media we have now. Bad influences can come in all shapes and forms, that's why you need guidance for people who might be too sensitive to all of this because banning won't solve anything.
@@EyFmS That's true too! Everyone doesn't have the opportunity to be in that supportive environment and then they are given an electronic devices instead of being taught. I must say, eventhough I didn't listen to his whole point(which I will change the "Totally Agree"), I still believe that the internet is a very major part because it connects us to almost everything good an bad. Giving it to super young minds while at the same time having no direction... is just not good.They both play a part. So maybe limiting instead of the extreme of banning.
@@musicmini1694 Yes I agree, way to many parents Don't Parent. They hand over a device and don't supervise their youth on what they are playing as video games or watching. The youth needs to be taught morals and respect for others regardless of what they look like.
It felt really nice to be able to hear people’s experiences and own struggles with mental health and etc, I really admire their confidence and ability to share with people their own problems they’ve dealt with in order to add insight to people’s perspectives
Edgelords can be pretty dangerous when they work up the courage to go through with their stupid fantasies.
the dude in black and red is stating exactly what japan needs
Well, 26 years ago, Japan and the world were shocked by the attack by the Aum Shinrikyo, also on Tokyo trains. And most recently, also this group, currently named Aleph, attacked Japanese by car, and also in Tokyo, in 2019. I don't know whether the "Joker" attacker is related to this cult group.
Joker seem to be a individual case of mental health and socialization problems, while in the other case, the Aum, it seems a cult/religion brainwash motivated attack.
I love that everyone give a very deep, thoughtful answers. Not some surface level remarks we often get when asking random people on the street.
11:17 is true, I've been exposed to Japanese culture since 2013 via online English teaching, and I tell you, they are very indirect in communicating their thoughts, the more indirect, the more polite. Students book me not because of learning English but more of like venting their unsaid thoughts.
I particularly don't think that anime and the movie joker are the issue of him trying to murder people. He was either mentally ill or had a poor sense of empathy from childhood trauma. Mental health is really important and it should be taught in schools much more.
I relate a lot to the lady which said you'd usually just be prescribed medicine without any counselling services. It helped significantly but the issue is many people who suffer from mental illness don't feel comfortable sharing their deepest thoughts or as she mentioned have their trouble in expressing their thoughts. So the solution is not holistic at all
Such an amazing work as always, Thank you Asian Boss!
I love the view of the guy at the end. "We're gonna change Japan". If you really want a better world, YOU have the power to change it!
Positivity! Dont we all want that! Definitely.
Whatever country you're in, crimes do happen. It's not about how lenient nor how strict the law that governs the people; it's how we, as humans, strive to be more humane and be more considerate of others around us. Sometimes even a small move makes a great impact from one person to another, just like the domino effect. I hope people will be more aware about mental health issues and also be more open minded, voice out their thoughts and not just 'keeping it inside'. Thank you AsianBoss for this insightful vid!!
wow i love this video i actually really gained something listening to all of their answers
Everyone made such good points & I agree with all. It's nice to see everyone's perspective on such issues. It's a solid reminder that society is not hopeless or morally desensitized. There are still good people around the world. I really loved what the man at 11:45 said about people having closed hearts & needing to open up more. People wouldn't get to such an explosive state if they didn't bottle everything up. Yet there are many people who have no one to talk to & feel very isolated. Imagine all that magnified by this "panorama" we've been living in for almost two years now. I appreciate that he shared his own personal experience with depression. He shared that on camera with all of us which was a very brave thing to do & it shows he's healing from heeding his own advice about being open. I also agree with the old man's words "Educators are only concerned with grades & businesses only focus on money...not enough is taught on morality. 4:24 He was spot on with his responses. I miss Japan so much it hurts. Honestly, something like this can't deter me from going back as there is no truly safe place on Earth. I hope borders will open soon.🌸
Great answers come from great questions. I should praise Asian Boss for preparing Good Open-ended question.. and for the reporter for doing good rapport to all respondents. Well done, Asian Boss!
I am really impressed how well-spoken these people are and how many calmly elaborated and profound answers they give in such a street interview. I was once asked to give some answers for a radio channel and my responses were something in the lines of "uuhh...errr.WhatT dO you meAnn!? hihi haha huhu... errrr ,errrrrrr" and I give weekly lectures at uni infront of 500+ people, so it is not like I didn't have any practice speaking infront of others...
Same 😂
KyoAni incident wasn't inspired from anime. It's just that the perpetrator was deranged and claimed that KyoAni stole his idea
I tried to translate Japanese into English on Google.
The video I watched by chance seemed interesting, so I watched it.
Thank you for taking up Japan.
It was great to know how Japan is
viewed from other countries.
In Japan to day , we are running out of time and have no time to spare.
Many people can't even afford to listen to other people.
The causes are working hours.
frustration and anger that cannot be recognized no matter how hard
you try, wage declines, high taxes, etc.
I think it's Because of the people's degree...
If you say something different from other people, you will meet bashing.
Trying to kill yourself and try to match without trouble...
It really sucks when media coverage and raising awareness for an incident inspires copycat criminals. Mental illness is scary.
then media should stop glorified these kind of incident with using word that eye-catching / make something stand out more like "Joker".
it’s because those copy cats want attention themselves. this is the downside to raising or covering news with incidents like this. the news covers incidents to raise awareness but in return gets copy cat criminals.
i don’t think there’s anyway to stop that problem unless the media stops covering incidents like this in the first place which i find impossible to stop.
I think you're a bit confused as to what's the root cause here.
@@hippieduck “we live in a society”
@@DemonFox369 Simplifying complex structures for comedy but choosing to project that onto me, to make me (or the meme) look silly rather than yourself. I hear that. Over and out.🤙
I grew up/live in Japan and I completely agree to the man that said the way of education is not good. Their ways haven’t changed in decades…
How are people supposed to go out into modern society with an old mindset??
As well as the mental clinics & counseling, it sucks. I’ve been to too many psychiatrists and it just comes to getting meds and trying meds without them really trying to see what it really is. 🤦♀️
The fact that the offender is just 24 y.o is what stunned me the most. We have the same age and i know everyone has a different kind of difficulties in their life.. I wonder why he did so..
he wanted to commit suicide but didnt have the courage
i love how they knew that bullying or bad childhood can bring this kind of crime too
Thank you for your videos.
4:19 Although I'm also from this generation (Gen Z), what he said is really true. Also, teachers aren't the only one responsible for teaching morals to the children. Parents should also be able to do that (responsible parenthood).
Finally someones cover this issue. I have been living in Japan for more than a year now, and I can say that Japan is still the safest place to live in. I have been amaze and disappointed for living here. Well there's no perfect country. If we compare the crime rate here from other country it is really rare here that this kind of incidents happen. I like the man who wear a bonnet said, that, Japan should focus on the root cause of the problem. There is something who triggered the man to do this and that people are not born wanting to kill. Hopefully Japanese will be more open with their feelings because I notice that they really suppress their emotions and feelings which in the long run affect their mentality and behavior. Like the other woman who seek someone who can talk to her about her problem, if she's only had been honest and ask the doctor that she need someone like a counseling to talk about her problem she might gone have receive a proper solution to her problem. May Japan be more open and honest.
the kyoto animation arson attack was done by someone that accused the studio of plagiarism... while it was about anime it was not "due to anime"
This
well recently there's an incident just happened a 14 year old killed it's colleague in school the reason was bullying. Since bullying is very common here in Japan. a lot of people even from younger age will take away their lives.
Max, the male dude from their “hiring a Japanese girlfriend for a day” video, was on the same train during the attack; I follow him on the Gram, so I know. Would’ve been nice to have him cover this, and lend his recollection of the events that occurred.
It might have been traumatic for him
4:22-4:42 I seriously respect the older man for saying that. I've never heard anyone speak up and say what needed to be said-or at least considered. Thank you, sir. 🇯🇵♥️
young people are impressionable that's why there's so many copycat crimes out there. I love anime and videogames but he's not in the wrong. A large group are just in it for the fun but we can't deny that some people are inspired by violence in media as well
Society must teach about connection and morality. I so stress however that people in life may feel left out or ignored when approaching people that supporting on the "conception" by doing but slips have happen. Connection can be tricky in this generation. Ones with a group that have in younger years formed and cemented getting older, others that wanted that dont have that same nurture that I think effects social development, most cope with this in way they can go about their lives, others not so much. But I do wish that people that have social gatherings see the ones left out and try to keep close connections to show that people do matter and are not just the problem.
There were a lot of great points being made by people in this video.
And I liked that they brought up mental health, bullying, as well as safety measures that the general public may not be aware of or able to access easily on public transport. These are all great points that need to be taken into consideration
best interviews both for the media and the ppl~
i agree with the man that talked about anime being one of the reasons. I know that depiction of violence is in any form of media really, but the ones in anime are a little different in a way that whenever you watch an anime you're always influenced or left with a lingering impression, there are also a lot of anime that address violence as something that's completely fine or even funny or cute, which is a problem in my opinion. and even if those have age restriction on them we know damn well there are lots of kids still reading and thinking it's cool or smt.
You made a very interesting observation. I agree with you. Thank you for sharing.
I TOTALLY AGREE with the guy who had his back to the camera; very astute.
Great closing statement. I respect you guys a lot
The guy have white mask and gray jacket and white tshirt looks like ryusei yokohama😂
Wtf. That's crazy.....those poor people
12:38 that's so sad a country with so much high rate of mental illness(which often lead to suicide) don't even have proper therapist.
That man in the thumbnail is so good looking. 🤧
I agree, I think the main issues with incidents occurring in Japan is idea surrounding mental health and because they live in such competitive society. Japan's higher ups need to wake up and stop ignoring the topic of mental health or it going to lead to more tragic incidents like this or even worse.
All the respondents had a good understanding of the social issues in Japan, especially the state of mental health in Japan. Undeniably too, Japan is one of the safest countries to be in but I think that question about how people outside Japan would now view the country detracts from the more urgent question of how to prevent setting off the ticking time bomb of another potential "Joker" who may also be bullied, ostracized, mentally unstable and actually wanted to kill himself. Sure, this incident may be a very small minority but the gravity of mental health (or perhaps in this case, mental illness) needs more attention to take Japan back to zero crime rate. Like one of them said, there may not be guns in Japan but it's easier to carry a knife onto the subway for another copycat act (but I really hope not).
Okay but what is the instagram handle of the guy in the left 1:17?
how does asian boss just come across such thoughtful participants each and every time?? great to see them opening up about their personal experiences, hope this goes some way in diminishing the taboo of mental health in japan, great video as always!!
Lol I’m sorry if you’re American but just cmg across ‘thoughtful participants’ isn’t that hard in other countries 😭
@@harika_9399 ...i'm not an american.
Yes , Japan is very safe , but when something happens it's usually to a degree just like this funky accident
Wtf this is scary
It looks closer to Kira Yoshikage's suit than Joker's
Asian boss is one of the most unfiltered yt Chanel i love it
wow i didn't hear about this incident at all... how scary
I really hope that the fact that another attack has occurred will spark a discussion in the media about mental health finally.
Interesting viewpoints. Overall though, japan is very safe compared to the world.
For sure, when you think of the number of people who ride any of the lines, it's utterly amazing there aren't more incidents.
LOL. I knew it. You people never learn. Murders are common in japan just like everywhere else.
Man Japan sure has some of the most Gentle and Caring people 🙏🙏
great interviews
Agree with the man, the internet is a curse
it’s too late
only if you don't know how to use it.
Yet we are all here on the internet, how hypocritical
It’s not a curse is just a large amount of knowledge readily available. Learn to control its influence on you and you’ll be the better for it.
If internet was a curse...you wouldn't have been able to comment this right here.
In seeing so many people trying to channel and emulate "the Joker", I've begun to feel that "the Joker" character that appears in the comics is an satirical attempt to depict of a certain state of mind -- one that involves feeling dejected and tormented by society.
I suppose that almost anyone might have the potential to become "the Joker", once they have been pushed enough.
ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE SO STYLISH AND ATTRACTIVE
Being one of the safest countries doesn't mean crimes don't happen there. It only means that worse crimes happen more often in other countries.
All are masked .
Meanwhile europe is protesting against vaccine 😂
the guy in 11:18 expressed his opinion very well 👏 he brought out a lot of good points
Thank you.
..thank you for another vid for japan..
When Japanese thinks that they are slow in responding/preventing crimes, imagine another half of the world at least.
They’re not wrong tho, Japan is a very slow country when it comes to responding because they’re convinced that their country is so safe and crimes don’t happen that much so there’s no need to take serious actions, a lot of crimes and m*rders happened in Japanese trains since “at least” the 90s and the government has barely made any serious actions to prevent them, tbh if neglecting from the country’s officials is gonna continue I doubt Japan will still have the reputation for being so safe in the future
Lol japan is extremely slow with laws. Their justice system is a joke with 99% conviction rate. They banned cp in 2014 ffs. People should stop romanticize them. They are materially developed but socially relatively behind most other developed countries.
I was going to go to Tokyo that night for Halloween but, last minute I decided to stay at my hotel in Yokohama instead since that whole weekend I was going out and partying. So glad I did.
dang which clubs was poppin?
I was in Shibuya when this happened 😓😓😓
No place is totally safe. No matter how “safe” a country is labeled, there will always ALWAYS be crime of some sort, unfortunately.
I had not heard about this. My thoughts and prayers for the people of Japan. So very sad 😥
I think that because these crimes are so uncommon, there aren’t any precedents to dictate how to handle them. Also, though Japan truly is one of the safest places in the world, there is still a darker underbelly to the security of the culture. For example, I think that sexual assault is more common in Japan than people think it is, but is just not as reported from the survivors as there is the culture of saving face.
9:51 he woke
Uhhg Oh brother.
Thats what called showing maturity ❤
The guy facing with his back is brave for trying to be honest especially in Japan's culture where 'saving face' is usually one of the most important things . Props to him .
The man at 4:00 really elaborated the social cause of getting mental instability too frequent nowadays.
No matter what the character of the suspect,the suspect himself fedup to be alive in this reality world.
There is no point for us to blame ideology,religion,anime or others entity,just to make certain group as victim of society.
yeah all those are just excuses to try and find the origin of that person’s motive.
Seeing the title reminded me of how stuff like this is uncommon enough to stir the public and raise conversation, as I’m accustomed to stuff just as brutal happening on such a regular bases here in Americana that as a culture we’re desensitized to criminality.
Guess this is how a “safe” country reacts, huh?
Really interesting point of view!
