Abe's assassination Japan's top news story of 2022

Church that associated with it also is Japan's top news in 2022.

6 ( +10 / -4 )

Not a bad list for JT.

-2 ( +3 / -5 )

Without No.1 there would not have been No.4.

3 ( +5 / -2 )

1) Ex-PM Shinzo Abe assassinated. Gosh what a surprise!

6 ( +8 / -2 )

Abe's level of corruption and illegal activity makes the Olympic corruption scandal pale into insignificance . Great headline JT.

-1 ( +11 / -12 )

This is just the beginning! The end of the year, "list" rankings bazzar!

-6 ( +1 / -7 )

Even being the top news topic, they still have not filed charges against the assassin.

-7 ( +2 / -9 )

I said several months ago that Tetsuya Yamagami (Shinzo Abe's alleged killer) would be the most important man of 2022 in Japan.

I would argue that without #1, there would be no #4, #7 and probably sped #3.

-2 ( +3 / -5 )

It will be interesting to see how Tetsuya Yamagami is regarded in 20 years time.

0 ( +1 / -1 )

It was a shocking story on so many levels.

0 ( +0 / -0 )

Yanagumi deserves a fair trial.
