Today (10th) citizens opposed to the Abe regime held a rally in Tokyo and Seoul. First, let's go to Tokyo and find out the situation.

Yoo Sung-jae, where are you now?

<Reporter>

Yes, I am in the middle of Tokyo, Nishi Kanda.

Just 500 meters away is Yasukuni Shrine, where the first-class war criminals from the Pacific War joined together.

The urban march against the Abe regime began a little earlier at 7:00 pm at the YMCA Hall in Tokyo, Korea.

More than 500 Korean and Japanese citizens were on the march.

The rally is held every August on Japan's Memorial Day, with the intention of shining the light of peace, symbolized by candles, on the darkness of Yasukuni Shrine.

Participants marched together in a symposium, and as the recent economic conflict between Korea and Japan intensified, the atmosphere was quite hot and the voice against Abe grew louder.

Participants said that the biggest problem with the Japan-Japan relationship is that the Abe government does not recognize the illegality of colonial rule.

There was also a resumption of the discontinued exhibition of the Girl Statue of Peace, which required many Japanese to realize their past mistakes.

[Kanno / Marching Participant: (Seeing economic sanctions) I think it's bad to see what the Abe regime does. I'm not mature.]

By the way, if I had such a rally in Tokyo, I'm worried that I'd never do it again. How was today?

<Reporter>

Every time the Japanese march to Yasukuni Shrine, Japanese right-wing forces interrupted, and today was no exception.

The right-wingers held a rally next to the procession saying, "Go out of Japan" with a loudspeaker.

He even sweared at the participants marching in peace.

There was a scene where Japanese police stopped an attempt to enter a procession and carry out a physical collision.

The participants responded by embarrassing to the right, but responded provocatively to the threat of undermining the purpose of the peace meeting.
