    How could a railway company lay off 30,000 people and continue to operate? Questions all around. I wish my dad was still alive, he was in Japan during the occupation and would have been able to explain the situation better. He loved the Japanese people and just tried to help them rebuild.

      Yes my dad was there later, he loved Japan and fostered a great love of Japan in all of us . I called him Papasan. There certainly are alot of questions here and no answers at all to speak of.

      During what occupation?! The US would have never been involved in WWII if not for Japan’s attempted occupation of Pearl Harbor and the countries of the Pacific.

    SO well done as ever.
    Never heard of this case before.
    In my ignorance, I did not know that Japan was an occupied country after WW2.
    Was the victim driven by a chauffeur?
    Why did he need to go to the bank, and what was he after from the department store that was so important? 🤔
    In my opinion, he was murdered by angry redundant workers, perhaps they felt betrayed.
    I feel very sad for his family.
    Thanks for the info research and work.

      Yes occupied by the americans and our allies, which i guess they felt they needed to after pearl harbor. I am so thankful our two countries are allies now! Here is a link that discusses that a bit, if you are interested Janet.

    • @Amberwood243
      @Amberwood243 3 года назад

      Sorry - what about WWII did you not learn. Do you not know what Japan did to the US or what they thought they could do to the world? Do you not know how many people Japan allowed to be killed before surrendering to the Allies? And now, like Germany, they are friends with the US.
      Maybe spend less time on this and more time on mass murders in history. Geez. WTH?

  • @elizabethtorres6069
    @elizabethtorres6069 3 года назад +2

    Mr. Shimoyama committed suicide, he entered the department store in such a hast.. I believe his hasty character was because he didn't want to miss the train. A train that he had already planned for his demise. He is the gentleman seen walking along the train tracks, he already picked the area, he didn't want to be seen, and picked a spot where the train would be going at its maximum speed.
    As soon as you mentioned, his hasty character.. such in a hurry for what..
    like in a hurry to caught a bus or train, and that's when it hit me, no pun intended.

    “Occupied” is a very subjective term. One which if they weren’t, Japan would not currently be an ally of the free world and certainly not one that would be allowed to toss around words like “occupied.”

      Someone who wants to commit suicide doesn't do it while they're off doing errands, especially when he had a driver waiting for him.
      There are always exceptions, but he doesn't fit that profile for me. He's a corporate type I doubt he felt guilty for any of those ppl imo. Also why by train? Why not shoot himself in his office, or home?

    Wonder what on earth he wanted from that department store? Was he shopping, or perhaps meeting someone there? Seems his death is part of a series of events, with those horrific 'accidents' being used as proof of how JNR could not function properly without adequate staffing. It does appear he was murdered. Perhaps he was kidnapped in the hopes it would force him to change his mind about the layoffs, but things got out of hand. Guess we will never know.
