No yakuza on this movie .
I now get the "He's Benkei" joke from Haikyu season 3. Thanks!
wow a movie about queer children, how stunning and brave; it really takes balls to spread lgbt propaganda these days, what a hero made this movie i wonder wow you are such good people spreading lgbt among children, really....
Shogenobu was recently released from prison and is suffering from cancer
Didnt think about capitalism as not allowing parent or teachers to really see whats happening. Abandoned areas (hidden areas)
The Super Scope 6, "Blastris A" stage remixes this song, and, though I like both the "Blastris A" theme and "Mayim Mayim", I never realized they were the same song until my mother pointed it out 30-some years later!
*Fusako Free As A Bird 🕊️* Amazin documentary btw 👍🏿
Some of his visas were for families so maybe he saved even more.
The only great in this movie is when the OST start going when the godzilla come in scene... 😂 also, Sakura Ando didnt give much but still a nice thing in the movie. The problem is in the script. Like you said, execution in drama is so amateur. The idea is there. But execution ruin it.
@UnseenJapan great job with the historical review of the area. I hiked Bandai a couple years ago and have since also hiked Azuma, and Adatara. I enjoyed seeing the historical block print images from Tankei as well. Thank you for the work you did on this!
Byron Fija speaks our language like a foreigner….but he can’t speak English or decent hyojungo. He’s kind of tragic in that way My mom is a native speaker of 2 uchinaaguchi dialects and says he sounds white. Our names come from ateji transliteration of our original Uchinaaguchi names.

Coincidentally I am also from MN and this year we have had quite a few more than I remember on average. Including way up in the northland/iron range
Been paying attention to the weather in Minnesota from afar - some pretty crazy storms going on recently! Stay safe.
@@noahoskow4551 thanks! Will do my best. Yes it has, flooding that has never occurred in my region before, Tornadoes, funnels and waterspouts, a few towns devastated from flooding for the first time
American Jew. Looked up Mayim Mayim for Hebrew school and I found a video of hatsune miku singing it (lmao) which led to this video. So amazing how this song traveled all the way to Japan!
I see the good sides...but the fact that only extras died and no important character? Plus the girl came back- Like dam. The first introduction wasnt scary either... The second one, HECK YEA love the design, the vibe, the music, but i truly had an hard time fearing for the MAIN cast
My name is Suzanne
23:28 This has such an "At least you tried" vibe to it, and I can already imagine Bart Simpson holding it up to them.😂
Never heard of this place.
Some Japanese look like light skin black people or aboriginal.
8:51 - Brazil numbah 1!
5:12 Japan has actually had an F4 tornado, in 1990. Some arguments for 2006 and 2012 to have F4 intensity too
why so many down votes? Do people expect to watch a review and be favorable to their opinions? If not they down vote it? I think this guy makes valid opinions. Especially how Godzilla was not the main focus of a movie named after him. Some scenes dragged on too long, the whole line of "these were made without an ejection seat" was so obvious and they still dragged out the fakeout death.
I mainly know about this organisation though it’s members I recall fusako shigenbou had a daughter with a Palestinian may shigenbou who currently works as a journalist at one point she was a stateless person and there was a documentary about her on aljazeera watched a snipet of it years ago but I can’t find it now fascinating documentary though and she’s bilingual too
I love minus one to death but I have to say you make good points and I agree with you and thought I was the only one who had those problems. Overall you have a pretty good argument with solid points.
If you read a lot of Murakami books, socialism and communism sentiment is really big in the 60s and 70s.
Coochie fortune?

Hi everyone - this is another stab at short-form content for our channel between creating our large video essays. Basically, something interesting Noah encountered on a trip to the Tohoku region that inspired a little extra research. Hope you enjoy it!
this breaks my israeli brain.
Dude you have no taste
Hajichi tattoos is symbol of Ryukyu kingdom high-ranking married womans. And, her wear Kasuri called black color kimono. When Meiji period, from Ryukyu kingdom to Okinawaken prefeture part of Japan. Hajichi lost as a bad habit.

It´s bizarr to me, that this movie is hardly covered in Europe and the USA.
Indeed - despite Takeshi's relative degree of fame abroad, the movie doesn't seem to have made many inroads.
@@UnseenJapan Maybe the fact that this is a brutal and male dominated movie isn´t compatible with the Zeitgeist in the USA and Europe? Could be. Who knows.
Sorry to be a bit off-topic, but there is an interesting historical incident to consider about Jewish-Japanese relations. During the Russo-Japanese War (1904 - 1905), Japan was having hard time raising funds for the war effort. No one in the West wanted to take the risk. But then, it was a Jewish American financier, Jacob H. Schiff, who first bought Japanese government bonds, then this made others to follow. This turned the tide of war in Japan's favor. Without his help, Japan would have lost the war and probably made a Russian colony. We know from his memoir that Jacob Schiff decided to finance Japan because he was upset with the pogrom in Russia. Decades later, Chinue Sugihara, the vice-consul to Lithuania issued thousands of visas against orders from Tokyo, to allow safe passage of Jews fleeing the Nazis to travel across Russia through Siberia, and to Japan, then onward. Well, my theory is that one of the factors behind Sugihara's decision was that he probably knew as a diplomat, that the help from a Jewish American financier was one of the decisive factor that saved Japan. There are other interesting incidents. 20,000 Jews fleeing the Nazis where caught up in the border zone between the USSR and Manchuria. They could not cross the border, and were dying from the cold and hunger. It was the Japanese military there that rescued these Jews and gave them safe passage. The commander justified his action that one of the factors was about the Jewish help during the Russo-Japanese war. Interestingly, the person who supported this action, took final responsibility and rejected demands from Berlin was General Tojo.
Do you think It deserved the Oscar award?
I do, yes. On rewatch, I appreicated it even more, and think it offers a more complete story and vision than the competition (although Across the Spider-Verse was very good).
The historical fact of Lieutenant General Higuchi Kiichiro, who saved many Jews and is listed in the "Golden Book," is not well known. It is documented in the Jewish community that Lieutenant General Higuchi saved 20,000 Jews, far more than the 6,000 Jews that Sugihara is said to have saved.
Why did they try and resurface godzilla after drowning him? I don't get it.
omg this is perfect! never in a million years did i expect to hear mayim mayim in a japanese fllm:) the Jewish gal in me is so happy
You should check out the interview with the Orthodox Samurai
This series is incredible.
Long overdue a sequel - there is plenty of additional source material. It could even be a 10 part Netflix series.
I'd love to see you do a piece on Aum Shinrikyo
We have some writing on Aum on our main website, but yes, certainly a topic we’d like to cover here as well. Quite a bit to dive into.
@@UnseenJapan really enjoying the channel very good work you are doing
very nice use of the Jin Roh music btw :)
It had to be said, this film is overrated and Godzilla fans seem to be unable to accept this.
The scene where everyone is being a human shield is living rent free in my head. Like the Knife that dude got stabbed with.
Lol way of the samurai music😅
Asakura Noriyuki for life 😤
If this was made in the US, people will be crying woke, their heads will explode watching a movie about gay children
Ironic
When my mother was in assisted living there was one other Asian lady. The mainland Japanese woman would have nothing to do with my mom because as an Okinawan she was beneath her. My mom was wounded during the war and would tell us how badly the Japanese treated the Okinawans.
