Raising its right arm high and tilting it forward, the way Japanese opposition politicians and their supporters salute in their political propaganda has sparked a huge controversy, which some say is very similar to the "Nazi salute."
According to the Japanese news website "j-cast" reported on the 18th, around the House of Representatives election, The Cadet politician Sakurai released a speech video on Twitter on the 16th. In the video, Sai Sakurai's supporters pose with their right arms raised high and tilted forward. In this regard, some critics believe that this posture is very similar to the "Nazi salute" promoted by Hitler, which has caused controversy.

In response to this matter, the controversial Sakurai Shu deleted the video and tweeted, "There was inappropriate action in the assembly, I deleted the video, and I sincerely apologize for this."
In an interview with "J-Cast," the head of Sakurai's weekly office admitted that the deletion of the video was due to many complaints that the pose in the video was very similar to the "Nazi salute." The person in charge also argued that the similarity of postures "was not deliberately done [by Sakurai]. ”
"j-cast" said that in the video, Sakurai Zhou himself did not pose like a "Nazi salute", but in the photos posted by his Twitter account on the 10th, Sakurai Zhou himself and his supporters posed with their right arm raised obliquely forward.

In response to the photos released on the 10th, the person in charge said that "the same measures (for the videos released on the 16th) should be taken" and the photos are being considered to be deleted.
Sakurai shukon deleted the video and apologized, but Japanese netizens did not end their accountability. Some netizens asked, "Why did you choose this posture?" Isn't there anyone around to stop it? Do you know (this posture is similar to a 'Nazi salute')? He further criticized: "If you know, there is no cure." If you don't know, then Sakurai's knowledge as a politician is too shallow. ”
Others asked Sakurai Touki to issue a statement apologizing to the victims of the Holocaust and abandoning their candidacy for the House of Representatives, warning, "If I don't do this, I will send the video to embassies, consulates and the media." ”
