Thank you!
What do you think of Abe's geopolitical legacy?
well abe isn't really dead. he got fumio kishida who's just gonna copy abe's policies.
but to be honest japan's socalist high tax high wellfare stat is their true downfall. they need to fix that immediately.
He failed to spur the revival of the Japanese economy
@@Sanyu-Tumusiime Interesting take. I'm afraid Kishida lacks Abe's verve tho. A major problem will be that coupled with the slowing birthrates too! Thanks for the comment
Japan is taking up the "US's dog in Asia" role. It's not an honorable role for a majestic nation like Japan.
Japanese civilization should join the Asian Century and emerge like China.
@@Sanyu-Tumusiime That's a lot of prejudices. The world economy is suffering from US dollar printing and NATO policies. We are right now in the hellhole for the US first policy.
SKorean route is the real hellhole. Watch Bong Joon-ho's movie "Parasite." Korean people who aren't born into the upper class are destined to die poor. You don't know anything about South Korea and its Chaebol order. The power resides in a few hands full of oligarchs and the rest of the population is fighting for leftovers.
SKorea is a capitalist dystopia. You should check Asianometry to learn more about Asia.
Abe sees the inconsistency of America's foreign policy, which changes every time the president changes. He saw that Japan with its economy and population could play a bigger role in world politics, economy and security, not just as a "loyal ally of America".
he was extremely skilled in adoption when 2016's result caught many by surprise.
He was the first world leader of any nation that foresaw what Beijing is turning mainland-China into and warmed Obama and then Trump about it.
e.g Indo-pacific etc I think the original source probably came from Abe's team.
won't want to imagine what our world will look like today if America and many other nations had reacted 2-3 years later as both Moscow/Beijing/+? seek to bring back the imperial age where its okay to annex neighboring nations.
This video perfectly shows the legacy of Shinzo Abe. You can say anything for if his motives or his actions were controversial but in the end he took the entire National Security Strategy and Foreign Policy of Japan to make the country still relevant as a regional player.
He is probably the modern day equivalent to Ronald Reagan in this regard. And his memory is still relevant in Japanese politics even after his death, the State funeral proved this.
The only question is Japan will find itself along two paths in the future, one that will maintain the course of a regional power that only intervenes when it's national security is at stake. Or try to turn itself again into a great power which will impose it's interests upon others. I am curious to see where this will lead.
As always great job on the video Kamome!!! I'm hoping to see more fun ones in the future
Well the second option is now almost very hard because the only time Japan could do that is when China was internally squabbling and it was the eastern “Sun” but now I highly doubt it’ll be able to,Considering it’s always squabbling with S.K which is suppose to be its ally and a United front against China & NK 😅
Thanks Alpha! Yes only time will tell IG. We'll have to see what kind of path his successor will try and tread on. For sure the security environment around Japan will have a major influx on how the coming PMs' will determine what to do
That's a good point. Let's see what will happen with Xi's third term
Japan giving it blue water navy? Japan Is the future of pacific power, regional at least, the US is giving its statutes as the protector of Japan and letting it become what it is, and Japan is doing it economically and not militarily, because coming from the history? If there’s a country that Japan could not afford to tangle with is its number one ally! The US as china aged into extinction? And Japan mastered the automated economy, by co-location, even with aging population? The pacific will have a better future! Now the only question is, how will china going to perceive Japans accendancy, and how the world will react to chinas fall..
if anyone wonders where japanese militiarism will lead the country, look no further then their war shrine which deified 14 class A war criminals.
Abe was actually vistued the Philippines multiple times. He was actually the only Prime Minister that known in the Philippines. We actually felt pain when we heard his death..
He was the only Japanese PM I ever knew, such a shame what happened to him
So you're too dumb to know any other Japanese leader.
Japan with its geostrategic plans, its alliances and partnerships is increasing its overall regional role in the Asia Pacific. Just as important are its economic alliances through the CPTPP, participation in RCEP, FTA with the EU and its investments throughout the region as well as Africa is good. However, to become a great power, Japan will have to reform its economy to make it structurally more efficient and dynamic to no longer stagnate but prosper (immigration like Abe started, break monopolies, less crony capitalism).
There's still lot to do for Japan's economy for sure
Japan will never accept nor should it accept mass migration like the west did.
Japan is already a great power
Japan doesn’t need to be a great power. It just needs enough trade to stay afloat and self defense capabilities.
Great analysis, this channel really deserves far more subscribers, an outcome I hope to see occur given more time
agreed. Poyo!
Po…. Poyo!
Wow, thank you so much James! 🥹
Thank you, Poyo!🥹
Poyooooooo!
His conviction that Japan must play a more forceful political, economic, and even military role in Asia in response to the rapid expansion of China’s regional influence helped pave the way for establishment of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, a grouping of the U.S., Japan, India, and Australia that realizes Abe’s call for a “free and open Indo-Pacific strategy.”
By the way, another great video team!
Cheers!
was based on the the ridiculous notion that Japan almost beat the US in WW2, without actually considering how awful japan was in WW2.
@@murderofcrows2179 Care to elaborate? Who came up with that notion?
@@clone3_7 Nippon Kaigi, Abe and his family were/are members. alot of the japanese that remained in control after the war were founding members. the war shrine is controlled by the group.
PM Abe knew his place as a PM: He was a hero to the young boys and girls of Japan, in historical debates and interviews, and never forgot the importance of the blood, toil, labor, and the great sacrifices of the Japanese People during his tenure!!
He was very humble, sweet, and kind-hearted person, open to NEW INNOVATIONS along military lines and social lines. He admired....or, at least, was very kind and hospitable to...foreigners and technology.... and I admired him and truly respected him, deeply. He is missed.
1,000 More Years to the great nation of Japan!!

Can’t wait to see this channel blow up!
Yeahhh! Let's gooo!
Great informative video as always.
Thank you Jimmy!
Brilliant yet again man 🎉🎉
Thanks man!♥️
My goodness, this animations were extremly good. Very good video!
Wow, Thanks!
Your editing skills are at God level. The analysis is good, nothing to super in depth, but the visual beauty of the videos is unmatched
Rest in peace Shinzo Abe you are a legend.
Dude, I absolutely love your vids! The visual and informative quality is superb! Thank you for your uploads! 🙏🏼
Quality of your videos are just amazing! Hope this channel goes viral soon.
Thank you! I hope that too, let's goooooooooooooooo
First video I watched from this channel, had to subscribe after it, the production quality and content is simply too good for any channel, let alone one with 50k subs
Finally, a Kamome video to watch.
Hahahah thank you Kristofer!!
He was really the one who changed the direction of the pacifism boat around. Times are different with the rise of ChIna. And we need a strong Japan to counteract China's aggressions
But Japan's pacifism is manadated by US. Unless US politicians get their shit together it won't be fully possible
Yeah for sure he was able to steer that boat towards a normalization of the country. Let's see what his successor will make of that legacy tho. That'll be the main variable
a strong japan to counterbalance china is like being happy that a burglar and a rapist are now in your house.
to late, another asian country it's reluctant and never think about japan to lead anymore. they just can't show economic positivity. if u asking asian country in southern asia who is economic and military power in the region? and guess who they gonna say of course China. even they reach militarism again can't never beat current China anymore.
Japan tried to contain communism before and America preferred communist Russia side over Japan
Really like the animations 👍
Wow, thank you so much! It means a lot🙌 Loved the Artic video♥️
Happy Holidays Kamome. I've enjoyed your videos over the last year, you do an excellent job. Hope you have a great new year and I am looking forward to watching your channel grow, which it will, no doubt.
Abe was the ‘most’ popular Japanese PM in india 🇮🇳 . We miss him and most Indians has great respect for him🙏
Aber being the longest serving PM and a good one makes it hard for me to cope
His geopolitics maneuvering even affects SEA protecting them from china
As a matter of fact, it is not easy to understand the Japanese political circle. I once watched a video made by a writer about the monopoly of high-level political power by several big Shikai families in Japan. He told the story of Shinzo Abe's growth from birth to prime minister, including his brother who should have been more promising than him. Later in life, when you're on the throne and assassinated or suddenly killed, combine that with the strange, incomprehensible nature of the Japanese culture, and you can understand why they succeed, why they rise quickly and why they fail. Young Chinese like to call Japan's adventurism in big things: betting on the country's fortunes
For sure Abe Shinzo family gave him a big imprinting oh his political life and gave him a head start on all the dynamics being the fusuma of Japanese politics. That notwithstanding ha has big influence in Japan last 12 years
Great video! Very informative and the graphics were top notch 👌
Free and open indo-pacific
I think japan and indonesia should commit to build close allies relationship to secure major maritime route in region
(As your other video explain how indonesia have major maritime route in the region)
With defending indonesia, it allign with japan FOIP policy and have less risk with involved with american foreign conflict
As both country (and their neighbors) have similar worries with china expanding in the region and wish to protect the maritime route in the region
Japan also could export their arms sales to indonesia to gain more power together
Well there talks that Indonesia was gonna buy Japanese Mogami frigates but waning political and financial support for these programs make Jakarta a less prominent actor in the Indo-Pacific, despite its high potential. Widodo hasn't mentioned that much the Fulcrum policy in his second term as well. For sure if Jakarta was more consistent it could become a powerful regional actor.
@@Kamome163 jokowi has always been keener on economic affairs rather than defense ones. His administration has put much of its attention into upgrading and building new infrastructure, as well as increasing economic development across the country outside of java. But if his successor comes from a military background like prabowo for instance, we can expect more military development in the near future.
@@juniopradana4003 have to wait and see how the next administration act... because many also see the waning in financial support for the new capital.
Czech republic's recent popular election in 2023 resulted in an Ex-Veteran with a vast amount of military experience beating someone who had the communist party's support. Petr Pavel to the surprise of many~ made a direct phone call to President Tsai of Formosa/Taiwan...
Many in Europe don't view Beijing's stance with Moscow favorably and Beijing's action probably caused many nations to opt to side with America; more than what America was able to do to gain their unity.
~Its a bit ironic because when America tries to get Germany to increase the military budget to 2% etc- it failed for numerous years but Putin did it.
He even became Nato's #1 recruiter by managing to convince Finland/Sweden to apply it.
Keep up the great work! I love your videos.
Thank you BB!
Outstanding presentation, once again!
Abe's legacy is being followed. He will be remembered as the man who brought back the strength of Japan without the baggage of the former Imperial Dictatorship.
Sir Shinzo abe is loved here in India. He was a visionary. 🙏🏿 om shanti
The Japanese underestimate him. This is because the media tends to magnify government failures rather than achievements.
That’s a good take. Do you remember how during the constitutional interpretation changes period, so around 2015 ish, Abe was at the eye of a media storm. The problem is and was that the media should give factual informations but oftentimes those are somewhat biased and skewed by political beliefs.
yes i remember. Japan needs media literacy...
@@Reimu2023 I think there are good journalists and programs! It’s just that complex issues like the Art. 9 can’t be generalized and oversimplified like some mainstream media did.
good narration and accompanied by cool animation, perfect.
This guy has the best graphics on his content….. period hands down !
My favorite geopolitical channel
Really?!!🥹 *happy crying intensifies*
Great video bro, keep it up :)
Thanks man! I will for sure, you guys give me the strength to keep it up!💪
Really good stuff guy.
Thank you Alan
Seagull, I sense that you have been working up to this impressive analysis.
Thank you, compass, had lots of fun making this video!! Wish we could get more views
@@Kamome163 Your videos are high quality, so you will build the channel. Lots of competition out there!
PM Abe's co-operation and understanding of American Foreign Policy was MASTERFUL. He was a fine ally, who protected the Japanese heritage and strength. He also understood history, in his own place and for the future of the native Japanese People. PM Abe chose wisely and will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN as a true ally to democracy and to the native people of JAPAN!!
Beauty
Thanks man♥️
Abe was the shiznit. Honest Abe was the only one we could count on no matter what. He deserved a peace prize far more than Obomber did.
Yeah, I thought it was funny how in the video, the Obama Administration had no clue how to handle China. It took Trump and Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election, to recognize the threat of China. Hillary was still pushing for the TPP with China.
Well he shaped a few decades of diplomacy in the indo-pacific and he deserves to be reckon for that
I still remember reading the article on FP where Obama had Xi 'pledge' to the non-militarization of the SCS features. It's incredible how China's image changed in just a decade.
Not when you consider they've continuously lied and stolen technology. The end for Russia and China is nigh.
🤩 so good!! Loved the content as it is very informative on Abe’s lasting legacy on Japanese policies!
And my god somehow the production quality gets better and better every video! Loved the relevant clips interspersed with the maps too.
Can’t wait to see what’s next!
I feel so lucky to be part of this amazing community that is forming around Kamome. It’s a blessing to be surrounded by amazing people like you guys! Let’s reach new heights!
amazing video bro. i knew mister Abe had done allot for his country, however i wasn't aware how much it genuinely impacted the world. Rest in peace!
Thanks man! He did for sure😢
good information
こんにちは!素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます。残念ながら日本では安倍さんの残した功績について詳しく報道されませんでした。中国の脅威は日に日に強まっています。戦争を抑止するためにフィリピンやベトナム、インドネシアなどの国々と協力できるのを切に希望しています。
Hello! Thank you for the great video. Unfortunately, there was no detailed coverage in Japan about Mr. Abe's accomplishments that he left behind. The threat of China is getting stronger day by day. I sincerely hope that we can cooperate with countries like the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia to deter war.(This is a machine translation. Sorry.)
こんにちはMikanさん。日本語の返事を挑戦してみたいんです💪
優しいコメントをありがとう!
確かに海外のニュースの方が安倍さんの外交と憲法解釈の政策の報道したみたいですね!僕の経験で、一般化したくないけど,日本人はあまり外交と軍事の話しあまり好みがなさそうですね。それかな。
そうですね,中国の脅威はどんどん強まってますね。安倍さんが,アメリカとヨロッパの最も先に,それを良く分かってました上に,南東アジアはFOIPの中点にしました。もっとその国と協力すべきだと思います。

Good ole Honest Abe. One of the greatest.
Abe was one of the most brilliant politicians who's able to take advantage of an Overton Window.
*Imagine if Abe was still alive.*
he is. he is called kishida, and the nippon LDP hardcore revisionists.
We miss you Abe
Love from Philippines
😢😢
Abe was born in Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture. That's why he had a strong desire to become like Yoshida Shoin, the man who brought about the Meiji Restoration. Yoshida Shoin was the man who ended the Shogunate's isolationist government and created the modern Japan.
Abe and the current Prime Minister Kishida are from opposing political parties. Abe has a tangible track record of improving the economy by focusing on foreign affairs and labor policies over the past 10 years, but the current Prime Minister Kishida has been worsening Japanese society for over three years, frequently raising taxes without taking any concrete measures, and further promoting the decline in the birthrate. This is because he belongs to a party that represents the Ministry of Taxation, and is only working to increase the interests of politicians. 99% Citizens want to change the Prime Minister, but they cannot because Japan's election system is not functioning properly.
The animation and graphics make this video much more interesting - as someone easily distracted in general
Thank you Noel!
i love your videos
We love Sjin zo Abe
He may rest in peace
very good video bro continue good job also make more stuff about japan/korea/china/taiwan/russia pls

Not sure what that was... Thanks man rally appreciate your longstanding support!

Hey kamome, great video as always. I was wondering what software and plugins do you use to create these beautiful topographic, lights, animations, would be great if you could tell us that.
For the animations I use Blender; video editing is made in Davinci Resolve and maps in QGIS
Abe was one of the best, if not the best Prime minister Japan ever had. With Japan, South Korea and the US in the pacific, China has way less possibilities.
I'm curious to see what will happen in Xi's third term now! Let's hope for the best...
Abe is a martyr for Japan what is enjoying immortality
Amazing that my generation sees the rising sun naval ensign as a symbol of freedom, my grandfather fought in Pacific and saw it as tyranny. Amazing transformation in Japan 👍

an arms race with only one country actually increasing defense spending, and it is not japan. japan may cry bushido and samurai, but they are spending more money repairing damaged asssets from the earthquake and tsunami than actually increasing capabilities, but this is all about narratives and not actual realities, so lets keep the fantasy alive. CZcams, best for altered reality, and content like this is pure sugar for diabetics.
@@murderofcrows2179 you can’t decry everyone else is out of step with reality then say there’s only one country engaged in an arms race, that’s ridiculous
Oh the Mishima like music during the constitution revision very nice
Hoping this channel goes through 1M subs. my only hope is that this channel not just making geopolitical stuff but also just basic geographical or maybe natural stuff
Let's go for the millions! Oh yes, we are preparing a video on China's waterways and its geography and how that shaped its economy
Abe is, i would say, the most respected Japanese PM in Taiwan, he bring Taiwan and Japan with closer relationship and speak out for us. After his assassination, a statue of him is made in Kaoshong.
DOG LOVES ITS MASTER MORE THAN ITSELF
They should make anime on his life "Abe-kun's Journey: A Normal Highschooler to Prominent Leader"
Not if the Japanese Communists live. NHK has been completely taken over by the CCP called CCTV. If you have the biggest news station in Japan being monitored by the Chinese government you know there is going to be a Cultural Revolution in Japan.
How did you create those planetary animations with highlighted colorings and really nice topography ? It's not made with google earth from what I can tell.
My condolences for Abe's assesination :(
Well I think that Ex Prime Minister Abe made the right choice changing Japan into a normal country especially with a growing threat from both North Korea and China it’s also very beneficial for the United States and it allies in the Pacific
so is Ukraine
@@user-oo7eq4pl7b Indeed it is you would be right about that
Very tragic loss of Abe...
The Article 9 which is set upon Japan by US.
Abe was trying to make Japan to be normal country.
Japan has never changed its Law since last war.
You need 2 third of upper and lower Parliament and then they need 2 third of General Election votes too.
US made sure Japan would never involved in war, however, US wants Japan 's support now.
I'm American and my grandfather died fighting against Japanese forces in WW2. It is extremely heartening to see that his death was not in vain; that his death would help contribute to Japan becoming one of our nation's best allies and consequently one of the bastions of democracy. Much love to Japan from Florida, USA
True. I heard that there had been a pivotal moment where Japan today would've been allied with China and Russia, when the US had initially chosen Kyoto as the target for the nuclear bombs. Fortunately, they were wisely counseled against this. For if they destroy the ancient capital, effectively attacking the cultural heart of the entire nation, it would've made Japan a forever enemy that would never forgive the US.
whats the name of ending music beat where theres a piano playing???
He is a real man.
He is honest, patriotic, strategist, like a samurai.
Japanese television is left-wing. That's why he was always criticized.
But he continued to win the election.
Japan still needed him.
like a samurai? does that mean something? Was the sengoku jidai period renown for personal freedom, democracy, development, or anything good? no, it was known for samurais, famine, and the lowest life expectency for the average japanese. so yea, abe was a samurai.
how is japan left wing at all, like neither is its economcis,media, & culture. At most you can say its culture is centrist.
@@ipadair7345 you don’t see the Japanese left as often is because a lot of media censors what the people have to say. Okinawa as an example they say that there are Japanese protesting in numbers to get the U.S. out of the shores of Japan and welcomes the CCP. The problem with that rhetoric is those are Japanese citizens. Reports have counted 2/3 of the protests are North Korean spies, South Korean protesters, and CCP spies. All of them have pretended to be Japanese and only serve to destroy Japan. Hokkaido has also been projecting that the Ainu were taken of their land in Hokkaido. Yet the reports say that many if these radical Ainus have been payed by the CCP. I would know is because I went to the Ainu museum. Historians in Japan that have studied on this matter have pointed out that the fabric and tools they made were fabricated and say that these people lived in wood with aluminum roofs were faked. Ainu came from Kyushu and were later pushed back to Hokkaido. The Ainu pretend they were being oppressed, but they did horrible atrocities to the Japanese civilians and that is why the government forced the Ainu away and up north. The left another thing about the left is how they keep pushing back the Japanese government to weaponize Japan because of the threat of China, Russia, and North Korea. I can even list out politicians in Japan that praise Communism and wants Japan to have better relations to China like Kono Taro. He also made controversial apologies to Korea even though the U.S. government have done some investigation under the Clinton administration called the IWG(Interagency Work Group). They went in to debunk the CCP and Korean government claims of Japanese war time atrocities. I would look them up since they talk about myths and fiction vs the truth. The far right in Japan would say get America out of the country of Japan and not thinking of the consequences of Japan being captured by China. Both the far left and far right of Japan are fools since they have very close ties to China in ideology.
their media was* left wing they have been right wing for the past 10 to 20 years

The man's a legend.
And sutil this legacy lives on with out nextel pm
That’s great! I just wish that he also did something about toxic Japanese sexism. Like banning media teaching young Japanese men that women are objects to be exploited?
Forgot to mention Japan's pledge to defend Taiwan in China's upcoming attempt at land grab.
Did I? If I didn’t mention that, thank you for bringing that up. Abe’s efforts in shifting Japanese posture towards a collective self defense has been essential in creating a credible coercive threat in case of an invasion of Taiwan!
@@Kamome163 You may have, I may have missed it.
I can't believe Hideo Kojima killed him 😥
Don´t forget the new extended JSDF base on Yoaguni (only 100km from Taiwan), where they also install missle batteries facing Taiwan and reach into the Taiwan straight.
RIP Abe
Abe pretty much became immortal after becoming the first prime minister in Japan to be assassinated by a gun.
He wasn’t after he got sick he had to resign from being prime minister. Stress got to him and he was known for having a poor immune system since he was born that way. He got weakened is because of the constant barrage of the Japanese Communists, CCP spies, Korean impersonators. He had a lot of push back and he had to recover. When he tried to rise to power again the Communists made sure Abe will never be the leader of Japan because if he did it would be the doom of China.
Rest his soul.
Maybe After 10 years, most Japanese will know what Mr. Abe left for Japan.
Hmm.. Interesting. That expansion was felt quite some times in Indonesia where I am as well. Interesting to see where the investment will end up though.
I saw some building built here by Aus and JP funding (and I fabricated one of them)
EDIT : The military part disturbs me a lot though - didn't US recently say they would pull out of Japan? In this precarious time? I think that's not a good move for Indo-Pacific alliance with the US. At worse, China could take over in good faith.
One of our greatest prime ministers in recent times
a regular churchill, get some smelling salt, and look at policy initiatives that actually had a positive impact. abe left the next generation of japanese poorer, and more depressed than ever.
@@murderofcrows2179 the yen devaluation happened under PM kishida. Also I'm not depressed so I don't know what you're talking about

@@akihikosakurai4013 he also created the need for japan to increase its defense spending. And if article 9 is so oppressive, why hasn't japan removed it yet? And how did Abe help remove it?
@@murderofcrows2179 it requires majority support in a public referendum and majority support in the diet in order to repeal it. The diet support is already there since the LDP has been the biggest party in power for decades, but public support isn't quite there yet. It's growing steadily but it's not there just yet. People didn't see the need for it until North Korea and china started getting more aggressive
you need a proofreader
I'm not aware of a more candid and change oriented Japanese PM
He definitely has been one of the most influential Japanese PM, not only for Japan itself but for the global politics too
