   On 8 March, a suspect, Ryoga Yoshino, was arrested for obstructing business by force for causing trouble at Kura Sushi In 2023, “food and drink terror videos” posted on social networking sites have often become a problem.

   Now, however, a video has emerged that should be called “inappropriate terrorism”. The video in question is believed to have been shot by a high school boy from Saitama Sakae High School.

   The video in question is believed to have been shot by a high school boy from Saitama Sakae High School, who says: “I am very happy for those who are alive after watching this about the Great East Japan Earthquake. I don’t think those who have died again will hear it in their graves (laughs), but it’s really frustrating. Semen.”

   The film is an insult to the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake.

   ‘Every year, on 11 March, many celebrities release comments and messages in remembrance of the tragedy that occurred in 2011. The high school students’ video may be intended as a parody of such acts of remembrance’ (Internet writer).

   This has received a lot of criticism.

   ‘They may have been young and unaware of things at the time of the disaster, but it’s not nice to insult people’s lives.

   As someone who endured hellish days after that earthquake at the time, I’ll refrain from using dangerous words, but I don’t think I can forgive him for what he said or did.

   My relatives are victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake and there are victims too.　I am beyond angry, I am just sad.

   As a result of the inflammatory video, Saitama Sakae High School posted an apology on its official website, titled ‘Apology for inappropriate video posted by a student of our school’.

   The school is committed to improving the moral values of all students, including the student in question, through more detailed mental education, and to further enhancing literacy education for the online society, especially for social networking services.

   The school also apologised for the incident.

   The majority of today’s high school students were probably not even in primary schools when the Great East Japan Earthquake struck. But that is why many still mourn and reflect on that disaster so that it does not fade away. It is only natural that there would be fierce criticism” (Internet writer).

   How was the ethos formed to film and distribute this video without thinking twice about it? ……

2. Wish they felt similar outrage towards the racists making similar comments.

3. This title suggests that “appropriate terror videos” exist.
