I'm writing about Mr.YL who has frequently given comments since several weeks ago. I know that he is from the U.S. judging from his IP address and imagine that he is learning Japanese.
Japanese and English are completely different languages from each other. I think that it is one of the reasons why most Japanese are misunderstood. Certain medias like the New York Times, frequently accuse Japan over unprovoked causes. I have thought for a long time that it's impossible to make Americans understand the spiritual aspects of the Japanese, but it was just plain wrong.
The name of Mr. Toshio Tamogami and Mr. Bun'yu Kou appears in his comment. This surprised me very much. Why does an American know them? They are conducting an educational campaign for brainwashed people with a masochistic view of the history of Japan. What's more, he knew the website of the Society of the Dissemination of Historical Facts (http://www.sdh-fact.com/). His comment was just what I wanted to affirm. Please check his comment. (Link)
