Takaoka`s statement represents what many Japanese peoeple think these days. Media is completely occupied with Korean waves today, and many Japanese viewers are very uncomfortable with them.
Some says it`s our racism or xenophobia, but it is not quite true. We have a long history of antagonism with Korea. Korean even educate their children the hatred toward us at school. Out relationship with korea is not that easy to dispel.
Besides, Unlike America, Japan is not a country of the immigrants. Japan is a land owned by our poeple more than 2000 years, and we have developed our unique culture. If we become opened to the foreigners, especially those with hatred, many foreigners from developing countries will arrive here to immigrante. then our culture will be destroyed, and the whole country will be invaded.
We do not like to fight. We are rather quiet people. But Koreans are impudently trying to invade the whole country with media. Many japanese people are now angry and terrified.
