Sorry again guys, but I felt this was an important thing to address. Regular videos will be back soon.

The worst thing was watching him attempt to conceal his glee through the smiles and excitement that echoed throughout the video, with lines such as "This is a first for me." and "This is a top 5 moment". He turned the tragic situation of someone very recently taking their own life and spun it into an "experience", that he didn't hesitate to exploit for his own personal gain. It's very depressing viewing.

Yes, but we in America don’t want him back either.

I can feel him shaking in anger.

its been 3 years and im still pissed about this drama.

that last "get the fuck out of my country" felt so right

Logan: "In Japan, It's all about the RESPECT..." Disobeyed the rules Goes to a Prohibited place without permission Made fun of people with his childish act Films a dead body Laughs at a dead body SUCH HYPOCRICITY!

If this was age restricted there would be no dislikes

All dislikes are probably the little children trying to defend Logan.

-Like if you feel sad- -Like if you feel pissed- *Like if you know that Logan only did this for the views and attention and unfortunately he's getting more of it.*

A Past teacher of mine who has yearly trips to japan SAW Logan Paul in the airport and tweeted about it. Even tagged him and pointed out "here is a very disrespectful man "

Man, I feel this. Over the years, I've seen a ton of travel vlogs that have people climbing around on, sitting down on, and running and jumping on the Holocaust memorial in Berlin. To me, that is one of the most disrespectful things a person could possibly do; those rocks represent hundreds of thousands of innocent people who were murdered horribly. Germans take this history, and the inherited guilt that comes with it, very seriously. It's personal to us, and we want to keep the memory of these crimes alive to keep history from ever repeating itself. The memorial is a solemn and sad place, not some jungle gym for uneducated tourists to climb around on and make asses of themselves. It's truly unbelievable to me how some people seem completely unable to do even the tiniest amount of research before visiting a place, just assuming that they can do whatever they want.

When Joey said, “Logan, Get The F**k out Of My Country.” I had chills going down my spine. I was surely mad about the Logan Paul Video, However; I was scared when I saw Joey this mad. I don’t think we ever saw him this mad in a video. . . This is a lesson to all of us.

Just watched Aki’s video now and wrote pretty much the same thing but thank you for making this video. Every point you and Aki made were so important and needed to be heard. 早く出てけっとしか今は思えないね。なんだか辛いね。

I was crying when I saw this because my friend committed suicide. When she did, I went to that forest with a noose and a few ropes because I. Was. Done. But then someone walked up to me and said, "please do not commit suicide, if you are struggling you can talk or call your local therapist or talk to someone you can trust that might help you" it took me a second but I didnt. Even if someone dies you can't give up just because your sad. I get it but it's not the way to go. I near ended my life because I was depressed. All lives matter and if you struggling talk to someone. *suicide is nothing to joke about, if you are deppresed, please DO NOT commit suicide and joke about suicide many people have ended their lives.*

That ending was the coolest shit I’ve ever seen. Well said.

I find it infuriating that people are apologizing for making videos in response to Logan Paul more than Logan Paul is actually apologizing for his video.

what an _excellent_ way to start the year Edit: bros please come up with original comments, I am well aware that 2020 is utter shit in comparison.

It’s been almost 3 years and we’re all still pissed about this

i gotta say i'm an asian to be precise i'm from Malaysia i've been to japan twice the people the culture may seem different and i'm a stranger in a strange land but japan is where ive felt peace like all burden that weighted my shoulders just being lifted and its been a year since logan did that vid but seing his vlog made me lose some faith in humanity to think such entertainer,such big influencer to disrespectful as fuck No wonder in my community they hated the whites they dont even call the whites infact the call them yankees but to those who I know is out there who is good better than some guy name Logan be proud of your self Be proud that you are not the trash that still reeks on the sidewalks of life

***Something Joey didn’t mention/I haven’t seen it in the comments about this*** I am a psychology major, and we learned about a phenomenon. It has a crude name, but it’s most commonly known as “copycat suicide”. When suicide is shown in popular social media (whether a TV show like “13 Reasons Why” or Logan’s vlog), it actually shows signs of triggering an influx of suicides. It’s extremely insensitive of him to post that for a plethora of reasons, but he could’ve possibly triggered his viewers too.

When I saw Logan's video I actually cried - it was just so disturbing. He was literally SCANNING HIM with his camera and I just thought "oh my lord that was a person, who was so alone, and ended their life to end their suffering. AND NOW THEY ARE BEING BROADCAST TO MILLIONS OF PPL?!" I saw it as an invasion of the victim's privacy....

I feel sorry for Japan that got disrespected like that *I feel sorry for America who deal with him on a daily basis*

Still shocked and upset the video ever happened. That video was one of my first few interactions with the topic of suicide. I was a 9-11 year old with a crap iPad. I remember trying to defend him because I didn’t understand the weight of it. Now I do because I’m now a survivor of suicide attempts and realize the utter disrespect.

Well said man... I can tell this was taken personally.

I don't know who is worse Logan Paul or his diehard fanbase that thinks laughing at a dead body and showing disrespect is perfectly fine since the person doing it is their idol: Logan Paul.

I remember when this happened a kid recorded himself saying that the person who hung them selves should’ve been proud to have been in a Logan Paul video just goes to show you how Logan manipulates kids

3 years later and this still pisses me off. What makes me more livid than anything is that he got off with just a slap on the wrist. The backlash he received ultimately amounted to nothing. He didn't suffer any consequences. That POS is more rich and famous than ever!! Ughhhh

It was my 10 year old daughter who showed me this. She doesn't watch Logan Paul, but her friend loves him and sent her the video. She came running into my room with this look of both horror and anger saying " How do you get a video off youtube?" I was confused and she showed me even though she didn't have to, cause it was trending, but I saw it and the amount of anger and hate I felt towards this man just risen to a new level. She asked me is it real and if that man was okay and why he was laughing. In our family mental illness is prominant I have Bipolar Disorder and the last strong depressive suicidal actions i've happened in early January of 2015 so seeing this brought out many other emotions. My daughter unfortunately has to deal with the reality of this. Her grandfather my step-dad suffers from a severe form of bipolar disorder and when he is up and great he's the best person, but this time it was bad and he tried to kill himself just last week on klonopin ( which is a benzo) this video was beyond horrific for her she gave me the question of " Is this how it is. Is this how you feel. Why would he do this and post this. I don't understand. Tell me why?" The only answer I had for her was " What this man did does not reflect all humans. What he did was horrible. This place is a place where people go when they lose their battle and is their last time on earth. What he did was disrespect this place of sadness he also didn't do the right thing by leaving and saying " I can't do this." This man does not reflect others and I can assure you it won't affect me and your grandpa doesn't even know how to use a remote. Just stay away from him and if your friend decides that she can forgive this than i'll talk to her parents or to her whichever. You are both too young to experience and see these things. I want you to know I love you and i'm not going anywhere and to pray or bless this man who lost his battle that he is resting and pray for his family who is sad. But, don't let this hurt you. You did good coming to me. I love you." That's all I could say. Even when she is on the kids platform or talking to her friends that doesn't mean links can't be shown. This man is truly disgusting and needs to go away and reflect on all he's done and the young minds he is showing this stuff too. People who defend him. I know you are blinded by your love for your idol, but you must see that you don't do this. You don't film a dead body and you don't continue on filming. He may have shown shock, but that didn't stop him from filming. That to me shows a lot about him. It's about the view count not the content and he deserves a downfall. If you don't agree well... I don't apologize and you can continue living in your denial world. But, the rest of us will not tolerate it.

The first time I visited Tokyo, when I was 5, I saw a girl fall from a window and kill herself right before my eyes. Seeing something that tragic has always made anything in relation to suicide something that effects me on an extremely personal level. My father grew up in Japan, and his best friend in high school also ended her own life suddenly when she was only 18. I have also lost two family members to it. Suicide is absolutely nothing to take lightly, and I find Logan Paul both repulsive and disgusting. That person felt as though they had no other option than to end their own life. The fact that he made it a cheap ploy to get views enrages me on a whole other level.

Suicide is a real problem, particularly in Japan. Anyone who knows someone who died in that way understands why this is wrong, but you don’t have to have known someone personally who died that way in order to understand why you don’t exploit the death of an individual for likes and views. I will never forgive Logan Paul for this, no matter how many years pass by, I recognize he is a mentally unstable individual, but he went too far for me personally to ever forgive him.

As a person who has attempted to commit suicide 3 times it disgusts me beyond a doubt that he did that. It's so fucking disgusting that Logan Paul did that.

"I can't believe this is gonna be the first f****** video of the year" *_Way to start the year off with a bang_*

Idk why people are disliking this, it's the truth. He is right Logan shouldn't have done it.

This video is one of the videos that deserves literally deserves no dislikes, cause Joey is spitting straight facts.

If he comes to Australia and starts being disrespectful to our aborigines I swear to fluffing god >:[ (Yes I am Australian

3K dislike? I'm really losing hope for humanity.

i feel like this incident is gonna make going to visit Japan as a foreigner much harder

The "Logan, get the fuck out of my country" at the end of the video, I really felt it.

I was a fan of him...and I had notifications on. So I immediately clicked on the video when I got it. Before it got demonitized I had seen it...I was so shook when he suddenly filmed the body...I don't even wanna think about it...

Logan disrupted a man who had finally reached his peace

That's honestly really horrible

Why did Logan go to our country and just disrespect it

Me as a half Japanese person i know how much we respect the dead but i was and still am truely disgusted about this mans actions still to this day

It’s not even just basic etiquette for the Japanese culture but basic etiquette for human beings. I just can’t believe that he could just waltz in there like he owns the fucking place.

Why doesn't youtube bann these people? If it was on twitch the guy would be banned in a heartbeat. KZfaq really needs to work on their policies

*what an excellent way to start the year* 2020: *first time?*

as a person who recently lost their grandpa to suicide (4th april this year, he was very close to me) , this is still so disrespectful, it hurts a lot and just makes me so sick and sad, my condolences to all the people who have lost their life this way, and to their family who have lost a closed one

He's a disrespectful person. He's gone to Japan and all he is doing is disrespecting thier culture. He makes me sick. When you go to a country you embrace their culture. He's so wrong and this vlog at the suicide forest tops it off. He's giving Americans a bad name.

No need to apologise, my lad. You're involved with the subject and passionate about it. And if people don't like you talking about it, they can watch something else.

Can’t believe this was 2 years ago

That final part was beyond powerful. You could feel how genuine it is and I’m still disgusted with Logan’s actions. Despite how many years ago this was it will always be one of the most disrespectful and revolting things he could have ever done

Wow, this makes me feel sick :'(

Even leaving your chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice is disrespectful to the dead, why the hell would he think filming a dead man who probably was suffering a good idea!? It's downright disgusting.

I spent a week in Japan , with my daughter 7 years ago. I made every effort to be respectful of the culture and people. It is not hard to look up what not to do in a country.

It’s been 4 years now it’s still kind of hurts hearing what he did not right disrespectful for the people of Japan and the country too.

Anyone who has been to Aokigahara knows there are signs everywhere IN ENGLISH that say you are NOT to leave the path and that access is restricted. You SAW him step over the barrier rope and he even said, "We're leaving the path now.." I could understand that bcuz he and his mates are immature that they may have initially thought that entering the forest is cool - like visiting a haunted house or something, as I know from experience that people are skeptical as to whether people actually do go to the forest to commit suicide (thinking that maybe it's a marketing ploy to get tourists to visit the area), but it comes back to this: He filmed, and even did close ups, of a human being who was so desperately unhappy that he decided to commit suicide. Then he and his friends laughed about it. TO ALL THOSE WHO FOLLOW OR DEFEND LOGAN, HIS BROTHER AND FRIENDS: GET THE POINT - LOGAN DID NOT HAVE TO UPLOAD THE FOOTAGE, PERIOD. And it wasn't just HIS reaction that made me sick, but THE WHOLE GROUP SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!!! Trivialising human suffering for financial gain and/or fame is...quite honestly all I can think of to describe it is as SCUM. And the fact that the majority of his audience are kids...that just puts his disgraceful disregard for the impact of his actions at a low reserved only for the worst of our society!! KZfaq needs to BAN both of the PAULs AND their two friends shown in the video. And Logan needs to take a bloody good hard look at himself and hopefully decide he's going to grow up and not act like a POS for the 15Mil kids who follow him, bcuz at the end of the day he's a role model, and he needs to take responsibility for his actions. If he was REALLY SORRY he would remove his CHANNEL, not just the video (which has subsequently been re-posted by others). His parents must be so very, very, very disappointed in him. I don't know how anyone could show their face after doing something like this - it's unbelievable.

Not to mention that body was someone's child, maybe sibling. It's not just disrespectful to Japan but immoral to a whole other level.

This still pisses me off tbh.

Damn, I'm getting recommended this video 3 years later

I'm one of the few who never got to see the video, due to the fact that he took it down after receiving backlash. Looking at it from an objective standpoint, he was either completely oblivious to the consequences of his actions or he deliberately did that to gain attention. Some KZfaqrs are actually happy that he did that, just so they can make a video, making a profit off of speaking about something trending. What he did was very unintelligent on his part and it's very ignorant for his cult that's trying to defend him on his actions, calling US the "hAtErS" while in reality, he messed up big time, and he needs to own up for his actions.

What’s worse you can see his friends with giant smiles after finding the body. Even he’s laughing

as someone who regularly has depression and struggles with suicidal thoughts and sometimes attempts, even over 2 years later, that video still effects me.

I've had a friend, who died in that forest. Logan makes me sick to my stomach. Japan is a beautiful place and so is the forest, and I'm so sorry to anyone who had to deal with the same thing as me or the family member of the dead person. Thank you Joey for sticking up for people like me and others, you're amazing. If you are suicidal read this: You matter, you're amazing and special. I'm very sorry for why you're feeling this way. If you feel like no one loves you, I love you and care about you, I may not know you, but I hope you know I care. Goodbye for now

Damn Joey put his foot down. He said get the FUCK out of my country!

This is expectedly and legitimately the reason why the Paul Brothers are a abomination to KZfaq. First day of 2018 already put to shit.

I have come to love this man more today. Even though I'm not educated about japanese culture and their norms of life. I have been brought up atleast with a touch of Japan be it through manga/ anime/ documentaries. When I first learnt that Paul did this.. It made me cry. Till this day that video haunts me like nothing else. The world needs more people like you, Joey.

Can we just appreciate the fact that he hasn't monetized this video, which goes on to show how much of his words he says, he actually means!♥️

Logan paul: *posts video showing a dead body and making fun of it* KZfaq: Hell yeah make that shit trending and let's strike people criticizing it!!

Don’t be sorry. It’s a shame that the first video of the year is about something negative, but something needed to be said. I can only hope that KZfaq sees this reaction and takes matters into their own hands.

when he said "get out of my country"and ended the video right away. that gave me goosebumbs. your a king and i hope you know that, respect

The fact his channel is still up a year later

My little sister commited suicide not in the suicide forest but she jumping off our apartment building into the road below it happened when I was young but it traumatised me. She was epileptic and couldn't take the pain anymore. She was my little sister and I failed to protect her... I failed her. Everyday it eats away at me. It's not hard to realise you need to use respect. We were both adopted into japanese families by loving parents. We grew up in Japan. And when she passed people were respectful. To see him do that made me sick. That was messed up. Suicide is not some thing you use to get attention. When Kazune died I wanted nothing more but to disappear. I'm not asking for pity I'm not asking for comfort. I'm asking for sick freaks like him to stay out of our country... I may not have japanese blood but i was raised there! We lived there we loved the country! Japan saved me from my abusive birth parents. I'm proud to have been raised there and to be considered one of them. So get out of our country before I kick you out.

Joey and Aki's responses are so true

Thank you for making this video. As someone who lives in the Miyagi Prefecture, I can say that video was beyond disrespectful. Once again, it isn’t difficult to look up culture or read a bit. Respect those who have recently died. You are amazing for making this video, ありがとうございます

Joey talked about cultural etiquette, which it is, but it’s also just basic human decency.

the only thing ill say is that people supporting him AFTER WHAT HE DID AND LITERALLY DEFENDING HIM....whats wrong with u

*I'm not even Japanese but I respect your culture very much: based on respect. I am deeply shocked and I would like to present my condolences to the whole family of the deceased and his friends. I am so sorry and hope that the Japanese people will not hate foreigners because of disrespectful minority. A friend from Brussels*

Man, it's 5 years now but I can still feel Joey's Stand in this video.

This happened almost two years ago and this still makes me sick.

The fact that 3K people dislike this scares me...

So I have Depression and I'm a psychology student in college. I think suicide is a huge deal and shouldn't be taken lightly at all. If Logan ever knew what those thoughts were like, that melancholy feeling that you're not good enough for this world, then he would have respected the body more too, just like he should have understand the cultural differences. I'm also a Muslim and I've seen my fair share of ignorant tourists whenever I was in Jordan visiting family. They'd ask questions straight out "hey are you bald under that scarf?"

even after 2 years that move logan did still angers me

Bro the notification cut the "forest controversy" part out, I felt a fleeting sense of joy.

Heck, you don’t even have to be educated to know not to do something as disrespectful and disgusting as that. It takes the bare minimum moral consciousness and decency not to do something as abhorrent as that. And yet, he doesn’t even have that. The lowest of the low.

This isn't a case of cultural etiquette, it's a case of human decency.

Years later this fires me up still for two reasons: 1) someone edited that vlog and thought, “this is a good idea”. Worse, they used it as the thumbnail knowing it would get more views. They intentionally left in the footage thinking that it was not just a good idea but probably the best part of the video because of a) the “experience” of it and b) the fact that it was bringing in views. 2) this man went into a country that I respect and have taken the time to learn about and have wholeheartedly fallen in love with, and threw giant plush pokeballs at people in the streets. That’s not the worst of it, but that’s always what comes to mind. Even in your own country, would you do that? How does one think that’s okay? How is someone okay with being remembered for something like that? What makes your mind so perverse that you think it’s okay to so disrespectfully film someone who’s just passed away? How does the loss of life, the literal presentation of death, fill you with any kind of joy? How does it not scare you, how are you not sad? How do you, not even for a moment, go quiet with shame, respect, and sadness? Sorry to go off two years late but this is a topic that’s still brought up today and will _never_ be acceptable

It’s been 3 years and I’m still mad low-key

“Logan, get the fuck out of my country” couldn’t have said it better. 😤

As a japanese, this just makes me fking sad how ppl go to aokigahara just for “fun and giggles”. Japanese ppl dont travel other countries just to disrespect other countries, we try so hard to be polite and respect everyone at all times because we want the respect we deserve. I just dont understand how someone, an adult who can decide for himself, can do this type of stuff.

Logan's video was sickening to watch. He disrespected the culture and the person who died. And I am dealing with suicidal thoughts so it frustrated me to watch him laugh at someone who probably went through so much. He has no respect whatsoever.

I'm so glad to see people like you and Aki addressing this. Suicide is no joke and you are sending a great message. Some people nowadays can be very disrespectful so it's nice to see some people still have respect.

Am I the only one who didn't know about this until The anime man and Aki posted this?

Are you serious? How disrespectful can you be? People like him make it hard for nice people to travel because they get lumped into groups like him.

This still shocks me two years later, this still feels absolutely abhorrent

What a description man. 💜💜💜

hey man while you think this isn't a good video to start out 2018, i think it's a wonderful one. you're putting a strong message of respect out there. one so strong that i can only hope that it's one that impacts people and that they follow this strong example your setting. the way your voice wavers makes this video so emotional, so genuine, and i think it's one of the best ones talking about this situation as a whole, even talking about the other videos he's put out about japan. you've always been one of the few youtubers i look up to and have an insane amount of respect for and this just cements my admiration and support for you. thank you for being strong and speaking about this topic. i appreciate it. not many people take things with the level of seriousness and with as critical of an eye as you do and it needed to be presented this way, with all of the facts laid out. so a job well done, joey. i'm proud.

Those 2k dislikes are definitely from Logan Paul fans

when you said “logan, get the fuck out of my country” i felt that. ur words are so powerful

Recommended in 2019 ? Good job KZfaq algorithm.... now i will remember this for the rest of the month
