Inspired by Sick Puppies "All the Same" video featuring Juan Mann, people here in Japan have started the Free Hugs Campaign. Some says it won't happen in Japan. But it did! This is a true documentary video of Free Hugs at Shibuya, Tokyo. Music "Tohmawari" supplied by courtesy of Katsufumi Takeuchi. For those who care about why FREE HUGS on the sign board is written in English, not Japanese, we wanted to communicate with the original English-language words, and they ARE the message. Plus, Free Hugs in Japanese is actually written on the other side of the board. Thanx. Hug & Love !!

Channel: People

Nov 2, 2008 - I know, your kind are very very racist and ignorant. And your are definitely not superior in anything.

Lullabyka Says:

Nov 2, 2008 - i can't understand, how soo many ppl can keep posting such terrible comments! this video is about importance of loving each other, being nice to each other. is't obvious that there are awful ppl in every nation, but it doesn't mean that there are no nice ppl in some nation. Ppl who claim all Japanese are racists and perverts are racist themselves!

Nov 2, 2008 - Speak for yourself; I have many Japanese friends and they saw this comment and were disgusted by it! You might feel superior but all I can say is get an education, especially on diversity. I feel sorry for you.

Nov 3, 2008 - Don't be fooled by this guy. He obviously just created that account to make that comment. He's most likely racist against japanese people. How despicable.

Nov 6, 2008 - Japs are filthy people. They slaughter 576,000 pounds of whale meat MONTHLY. They not only slaughter but make sure that the blood reaches ashore so that their people will know that the whales were not only caught by them, but cut apart and anchored multiple times..japs also eat RAW fish meat, which shows that they are still uncivilzed barbaric people. In nanking china, they killed over 3 million people and practiced archery by aiming for the womens' v*gina.

Nov 6, 2008 - anybody know the title and artist for this song? where can i download it? its really nice.

NightroadxAngel Says:

Nov 8, 2008 - It's sad that some people want to see the bad in others only to justify their own hate and ignorance.These girls seem to know the power a hug can give someone. *hugs*^_^ Chihiro~chan

blackth79 Says:

Nov 9, 2008 - Japanese are funny! How can Japanese hug foreigners if they are extremly racist to foreigners? They put "No foreigners allowed" at many places.(Search the video "No foreigners are allowed in Japan") Are they living in 21 century?lol

JaysonCho1 Says:

Nov 9, 2008 - dont you get STD's from hugging??

NightroadxAngel Says:

Nov 9, 2008 - no....e.e Only if you have unprotected sex with someone who has an STD.Or like if someone has AIDS and their blood gets on a cut you have on your arm.Hugging someone with the flu,however,may cause you get get the flu because it's airborne.

JaysonCho1 Says:

Nov 9, 2008 - well yeah i guess that but i was in health today and yo the teacher showed nasty pictures and many different diseases that arent std but something else i cant explain.. but ahh idk.. other then getting cold from people sumthin else and other then not washing your hands

JaysonCho1 Says:

Nov 9, 2008 - its not all japanese its some.. and japanese are friendly as others.. just like koreans who upload airline trailers wants foreigners to coem they're for any mean purpose (tourism,etc.)

SoTypicallyBrunette Says:

Nov 10, 2008 - Excuse me. Please do not think that there are those signs everywhere in Japan. I've been living in Japan for more than 16 years and I've never seen them before. I watched the video you mentioned and I found it really odd. Maybe it's true that there are some pub owners who do not want foreigners coming into their pubs but I think it is largely because of language problem. I think they just don't want any troubles with people who cannnot speak Japanese. They didn't mean to be racist I guess.

SuperiorJap Says:

Nov 10, 2008 - The recalcitrant ,incorrigible Japanese still denies (and therefore never officially apologizes unlike the Germans) that they were responsible for the Nanking Massacre, Comfort Women, Unit 734, etc.. Moreover, they DISTORT the history textbooks so that the younger generation have no idea about their dirty past.. They constantly bring up territorial disputes against ALL THE NEIGHBORING NATIONS, and secretly lobby organizations and publishers of the world to change the world map.

viciouslady Says:

Nov 11, 2008 - I did this once, walking around with a free hugs sign with my friends... most amazing experience of my life I'll never forget it. Complete strangers who you would never get the chance to meet in your life just run up to you and hug you, almost knocking you over sometimes. Makes you feel like everyone is really connected.

candylandxparadise Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - aww good for you. i wish i could do that, but i'm scared of people that i don't know even so much as looking at me... =]

dashunderscoredash Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Get a fucking life.

blackth79 Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - japan is one of the most racist country. they don't want foreignors and they don't want western ideas to hinder their japanese mindset. stay the fuck away from the country! if u choose to stay. do not complain or cry about your racial experiences u had in japan. u'll be less hurt if u go there with that mindset than ignorantly going there thinking japanese are not racist.
