Japanese people, stop rivaling our country!
Good work, everyone!
I'm Yuri of Personality.
A rival is a competitor who is equal or more powerful than the other.
Normally, people who are clearly more powerful than you are not called rivals.
However, it is said that the neighboring country of Japan, Keikoku, is rivaling Japan.
Many Japanese people probably do not rival Keikoku,
but why do they think that Keikoku is a rival of Japan?
I will explain the reason in detail this time.
On the internet of Keikoku, there was a thread about Japan rivaling Keikoku.
Let's take a look at the reaction of the people of Keikoku to the content of the thread.
What do you think of when you think of the battle between the rivals of fate?
For me, it is the Kei-Nichi-Sen.
For example, the Kei-Nichi-Sen of soccer is an event where the whole country is excited.
But why does Japan rival Keikoku so much?
Keikoku has been defeated by Japan many times in history.
So, if Japan turns its back on Keikoku, of course, Japan will get angry.
I think that the reaction of ordinary Keikoku people is that Japan must win no matter what.
The following three points are the reasons why I think Japan is a rival of Keikoku.
The first is that Keikoku is against Japan because it is hostile to Japan.
The second is that historically Keikoku was a Japanese colony, so it can't lose.
And the third is that Keikoku is just a neighboring country.
What do you think of the above three reasons?
Maybe there are other reasons, so please let me know your opinions.
The reaction of Keikoku
Japan is very conscious of Keikoku.
When a special program about Keikoku is broadcast in Japan, it seems that it records the number of viewers.
It is a proof that Japan is so interested in Keikoku.
The reason is the inferiority complex that Japanese people have.
Japan is trying to erase the historical facts that have been civilized thanks to Keikoku in the past.
That fact hurts Japan's self-esteem, so it desperately tries to beat Keikoku.
My friend's Japanese friend said that
Keikoku shows a rivalry that Japan can't lose, so the Japanese media uses it.
If so, Keikoku will resist even more.
Japan looks down on the world, so there is no Keikoku.
Let's stop this empty discussion.
It is true that Japan has a high sense of rivalry with Keikoku.
Sports, of course. Recently, Keikoku seems to be overtaken by the economy, so Japan is in a hurry.
Japanese media are talking about Keikoku like a series of days.
That's how much they pay attention to Keikoku.
I live in Japan, but at least around me,
I have never seen a Japanese person who has a strong rivalry with Keikoku.
My Japanese friend said,
My close rival is China.
China has a long history, and it is clever and brave.
Good or bad, even if the people around you step on the brake, you can step on the accelerator,
so it seems to be a threat.
It's sad to say this, but I don't think there is a Keikoku ahead of Japan's eyes.
The hot Japanese-Keikoku war between the two countries has created many famous matches so far.
In particular, in the baseball Japanese-Keikoku war,
Ichiro said,
I want to win in a way that makes you think you can't beat Japan for 30 years.
The first WBC in 2006,
and the second WBC in 2009,
have remained in the memories of many Japanese people.
However, I don't think there are many Japanese people who have a daily rivalry with Keikoku.
When I think about it, I feel a little strange about the Keikoku's rivalry with Japanese people.
Keikoku's Rivalry with Japan
May 2022
President Biden of the United States visited Japan and Keikoku.
It was his first visit to Asia since he became president.
Keikoku stayed in Japan from May 20th to 22nd,
and stayed in Japan from 22nd to 24th.
Various issues such as Ukraine, North Korea, China, and Taiwan were discussed.
In this visit, the world became a hot topic.
President Biden answered yes to the question of whether China would exercise force if it invaded Taiwan.
However, other things drew more attention in Keikoku.
On March 22, President Biden announced that he would visit Japan.
At this time, Keikoku's visit was not scheduled.
However, on April 27, a month later,
President Biden made it clear that he would have a meeting with President Yun.
In addition, President Biden knew that he would visit Keikoku before visiting Japan.
It has been a long tradition for President Biden to visit Japan first when he visited Asia.
Therefore, President Biden's visit to Keikoku before visiting Japan
was a good material for President Yun and his party, the people, to expand the support rate.
After the date was made clear, Keikoku was a hot topic.
Keikoku media said,
Mr. Biden will come to Keikoku before Japan.
He will fly over Japan and visit Keikoku first.
For Mr. Biden, the visit to Keikoku was important this time.
It was widely reported in newspapers and TV.
And when President Biden entered Japan,
Keikoku media reported that Keikoku was ahead of Japan.
For Mr. Biden, Keikoku media reported that Keikoku was ahead of Japan.
And on Keikoku's website,
people said, Why did Japan become like this?
It's after Keikoku.
However, on May 23,
when President Biden said,
I will support Japan's membership in the UN Security Council,
Keikoku side suddenly toned down.
The Keikoku people who saw this report said,
In Japan, we accept the request, and in Keikoku, we demand it.
In Keikoku, we talk about the US-Taiwan investment plan,
and when we go to Japan, we get a gift from the UN Security Council.
There was a voice of anger.
At that time, Keikoku was in a mood as if Japan's membership in the UN Security Council had already been decided.
However, Russia and China, the member states of the UN Security Council, would oppose it.
Of course, Japan's membership in the UN Security Council is not so easy.
Keikoku's reaction to Japan must be excessive.
In fact, until a little while ago, Keikoku said,
Keikoku may join G7 and become G8.
Keikoku has become an advanced country that is recognized by itself.
In addition, he was invited to the G7 Summit in June 2021.
In addition, President Biden visited Keikoku before Japan,
so the Keikoku people's expectations were at their peak.
The reason why the Keikoku people's expectations were so low was
President Biden's statement that he would support Japan's membership in the UN Security Council.
Keikoku, who has always been a rival of Japan,
was angry that Japan was ahead of him again
because he thought he had finally put his shoulders on Japan's side or overtaken Japan.
In sports, Keikoku is also a rival of Japan.
When Keikoku's media broadcast the K-1 match,
strong words such as eternal rival, hostility, and unbeatable K-1 match are often used.
For Keikoku, Japan used to be a totalitarian country and a target of humiliation.
Even in terms of economic scale, Japan has developed the fastest in East Asia.
Therefore, it is important for Keikoku people to win in every aspect of Japan,
and even if it is a baseball game, it is not allowed to lose.
The reason why Japanese sports are easy to lose is
because it is deeply related to the values such as the subjective and absolute righteousness of Keikoku people
and the inferiority complex of other countries,
which aims to be self-centered and self-reliant.
For example, the Daikei Soccer Association
in the 2016 Japan-Korea War
raised the slogan,
Japan is the winning vending machine of Keikoku.
This is the slogan of Japan, which means Japan in Keikoku language.
From the Japanese side, it doesn't look like they are fighting,
but it is not a slogan with the atmosphere of a gentleman's game in sportsmanship.
The reason why Keikoku officially raised such a slogan is
because the most common way to prove the superiority of Keikoku is to show the inferiority of others.
In other words, for Keikoku people,
it is more common to set others lower than to set Keikoku higher.
Also, in most cases, Keikoku people do not have the idea of thinking from an objective point of view or the point of view of the other person.
Therefore, even if you can think about what you think when you see it,
you can't think about what the other person thinks when they see it.
This can be clearly confirmed in the example of the winning vending machine,
After Keikoku lost to Japan, the criticism of this slogan increased even in Keikoku,
but before the game, the voice that there was a problem with the slogan was almost absent.
If there is an objective point of view, it has nothing to do with the result of the game.
In other words, there is a point of view of what Japanese people think of this slogan before the game,
but Keikoku people don't have it.
So, after losing the game, the criticism increased from the objective point of view that it was embarrassing to lose with such a slogan.
And in the past sports games, various similar cases have occurred.
The reason why the Nikkei match is a mess is that there is a background that the accumulation from the past is large.
When Japan won the WBC in 2006, players, related organizations, and fans protested that the rules were wrong,
and a large number of people from overseas bought it.
Their argument on this is that the match between Keikoku and Japan in the WBC is strange because Keikoku has won twice in a row in Japan, including the preliminaries.
However, the rules of the game are a winning-losing system, and the outcome of the direct confrontation game has little to do with it.
And even though they knew that before the game, they held such a protest because they were dissatisfied with the fact that Japan won without Keikoku winning.
This is also a unique value of Keikoku, whose objective point of view is that Japan won without them being able to win.
In addition, they lost the direct confrontation game because the inferiority of others was the most powerful basis for the superiority of their own country.
As a result of the rules, they thought that Japan, which had won, was an inferiority complex of Japan, and they didn't care if they protested.
There are still such cases.
For example, one of the reasons why Keikoku continues to make claims to the WBC is the monkey performance incident by Keikoku representative Son-yon Ki in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup.
At first, Son-yon Ki claimed that the performance, which insulted the Japanese as a monkey, had a negative effect on the audience.
He claimed that he was a Keikoku citizen before he was a player, etc., and that he was claiming the legitimacy of the accident based on the inferiority of others.
However, when it turned out that there was no negative effect on the audience during the game, he suddenly overturned his statement.
He claimed that the performance was not done to the Japanese.
He claimed that he was playing in a Celtic club and was called a monkey by the supporters of the opposing team.
That's why he did it to the people who expressed such discrimination.
In short, he found other inferiority for his own defense and used it as a cause.
This case is a typical reaction from the Keikoku values aimed at the self-centeredism of the WBC.
When an accident is criticized, their values have to point out the inferiority of the other party and maintain a balance.
They have to create a structure that says,
Because if they don't, the accident will become a inferior existence, and the values of the Keikoku society, where inferiority has an absolute meaning, will be seen as the existence of Kai.
In addition, in this example, the structure of the victim's Japan and the victim's Keikoku is created, but this is also a big problem in Keikoku values.
In their common sense, there is a thought that the victim is absolutely right and great,
so they have to overthrow this structure no matter what,
so they have to use all means possible to create a structure that says Japan is the perpetrator and Korea is the victim.
For them, they are always morally correct victims, and Japan is always morally wrong perpetrators,
so they follow the curfew as a big problem.
The example I introduced this time is just one side of the iceberg.
It is natural, but in the general sense of Japanese people,
there is a tendency to be hated by the Keikoku, as I mentioned this time.
As a result, as a result of the accumulation of cases year after year, the Nikkei line inevitably becomes rough.
In addition, in WBC in 2023, the Keikoku is a great loss to Japan.
On the other hand, Japan won the WBC in 2023, and Moriyasu Japan, a soccer team, also achieved high results.
The difference between Japan and Japan is open, and the Keikoku has a sense of crisis,
and it feels more and more frozen.
Summary
Many of the Keikoku people just act as usual according to their general values,
and when they are criticized from the outside, they feel ashamed,
but from the inside, they say it's wrong.
The Keikoku is a big problem.
However, this is a matter of fundamental values,
and there is no clear solution.
In short, it doesn't matter if you criticize,
so it may be the best way to deal with the conflict with the Keikoku.
