Kitagawa is dead and in hell, God's judgement has long came for him for his crimes. The only thing that can be done about those decades of horror is compensation to the living victims of Kitagawa and Johnny's at this point. The only other thing that could occur now is discussing legislation on getting rid of the junior idol industry.

Historically, Japan takes such accusations seriously when they come from abroad, especially if they come from a prestigious organization such as the BBC, and the only reason the Japanese government is doing this is not to please its own people, but to save face in front of Western countries, especially considering that the Kushida government is seriously considering Japan's option to join NATO, and does not want other foreign countries to object to elements of Japanese culture or policy.

Lair, Kishida said there were no plans to join nato. The US is the only only one that wants to fight China to everybody else's detriment, so the European countries wont ever let Japan join under any circumstance anyway. |

The fact that Johnny Kitagawa never got arrested for his crimes when he was still alive is similar to Jimmy Savile, a once popular and now disgraced British TV presenter and DJ, who for years have sexual abused his victims for years and got away it due to his connections with the police and top BBC officials and suing anyone whenever reports of his abuse were made public and never got arrested for his crimes which were only exposed after his death.

We do? We’re the ones constantly rattling sabers over Taiwan being acknowledged as a country, throwing our weight around over islands we think we have ownership of in the South China Sea, and fly spy balloons in their airspace insisting they’re civilian vessels? |

1. Taiwan isn’t a country, and has never declared independence, never will. Taiwan can have a national identity all it wants, but if its leaders were serious then they would actually take steps to formally declare independence. 2. The islands and the South China Sea is a thorny thing but guess who doesn’t have any reason to be there, aside from inflaming tensions? The United States. 3. If you wanted to spy on a country, you wouldn’t use a weather balloon, a thing you literally cannot control if it gets knocked off course by wind. The United States insistence that it was a spy craft is legitimately one of the dumbest things in recent history. Blinken himself even admitted recently that this was, charitably, the result of “miscommunication” between both sides. If you want to talk about sabre-rattling and throwing weight around, maybe consider the stupendous amount of US military bases and assets surrounding the Chinese mainland. Japan, like Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines and others, don’t need to join NATO, because they’re essentially US client stats and dumping grounds for drunken rapists aka US military servicemen. |

It's everyone's interest to be there since it's international waters. International means international - meaning anyone can be there, including me, and nobody can do anything about it. Let's keep it that way. The moment anyone says somebody cannot be there is the moment it stops being international waters. There's enough waters being claimed by governments around the world - let's not increase it.
If it was a weather balloon, China would had warned the neighboring countries in its prevailing-winds path that there's a runaway bus-size weather balloon over their heads, to give them a heads-up and to watch out in case something happens. Because if any damage or anybody is killed, the originator of the balloon is ultimately accountable. But the fact that they kept it hidden and unannounced, while violating other countries' airspace......... |

Did you miss the part where I mentioned “China rattling sabers”? A good part of the reason for them not doing that is because of China threatening them not because the Taiwanese government doesn’t want to declare independence. Also if Taiwan is not a country then China wouldn’t keep getting their panties in a bunch every time someone mentions Taiwan is a country or it’s own independent state. If Taiwan is not a country/independent state it isn’t a rogue state that must be brought back under the control of the PRC nor should anyone except the One China Policy established by the PRC as legitimate either.
Pretty sure the US is there to keep China from doing what you’re claiming the U.S. is doing which is “inflaming tensions” by again declaring ownership of something that doesn’t exclusively belong to China. Not everything negative that happens in Geopolitics is because the big bad US of A getting in the way of well meaning entities who want to do right by the international community.
So why was China flying a balloon in an airspace that was not theirs nor that they had express permission to do so by said country? And then lied about the exact purpose of the balloon as “again” mentioned previously? Not to mention given the secretive nature of intelligence and counter intelligence behavior and tactics you can’t say that balloon wasn’t used for the purpose of intelligence gathering i.e. spying.
Okay so has China explained why that balloon was in airspace that it was not supposed to be in (and no being knocked off course by wind is no excuse) and what the exact purpose of the balloon was from the initial bullshit claim they put out? Cause I haven’t seen either. And as Enurtsol mentioned there was a communication breakdown…..on the PRC side.
You do know that a good part of the reason we keep a presence in some of those places is because of North Korea which has repeatedly (with the support of China) threatened Japan and South Korea, right? Taiwan is self explanatory, don’t know about the Philippines but I would presume the country’s history of being invaded by other countries which comically enough includes the U.S. is half the reason for that as well.
This is a really asinine take when you remember that Japan has a sexual assault problem that’s doesn’t exclusively involve US soldiers being the perpetrators. That and if Japan wanted to join NATO as I made it clear before between China & North Korea’s behavior towards them they’d have legit reason to do so. Like it’s weird you try to play off the U.S. as being this malicious and dangerous entity which yes we do have problems. But are weirdly going to bat for China a country whose behavior is far more dubious and problematic than the US could ever hope to be. |

Remind me what China, Taiwan, and international relations have to do with child sex abuse cases in Japan and the entertainment industry.
This is off-topic. |

I want to add something into this thread. According to the Daily Beast, the BBC has reported that their Japanese division was not willing to broadcast their expose to Kitagawa. I'll quote the Daily Beast article:
BBC has made the documentary expose available on BBC Japan's Youtube channel. An AP News (via Yahoo) has reported that a investigation probe is being done at the behest of Kitogawa's victims. |
