Looks just like a standard metal buoy that is common to see in the ocean waters around the world. Doesn't resemble anything like a mine or the like. More fear porn to fuel the upcoming WWIII narrative.
It wouldn't make sense for them to be on one side and not the other, only because you can see the tether point on top. It's plausible they rusted off, and I do see one oddity after re-watching the video circled in red.

Yep. I thought it could be a mine, but if it is, it's a dam old one. Nothing to see here either way.
I have seen these used as mooring floats for ships.
Thank you, that was the word I was trying to come up with lol...mooring floats/buoys
Thank goodness you didn't say 'black metal buoy'.......... because its rust colored.
I thought underwater mines had bumps. But I guess it could be real old.
My understanding as well. I see no trigger points to activate any type of bump detonation as you would normally see with an underwater mine.
I was never in the Navy, so if anyone who knows first hand about the modern day mines, please chime in.
I've seen pictures of rusty ones and those trigger points may have fallen off due to rust or theres some on the other side.
Just send a robot to knock on it and drill a hole with a fiber optic camera

Was 45 in Japan? Did he loose one?

He'll regenerate more.
That's a kaiju egg ;)
Godzilla egg.
Great. Godzilla's lovechild will soon hatch. As if we need another adversary right now. We've got our hands full with these balloons.
Baby Godzilla was so cute blowing those smoke rings.
Its a fucking bouy. Jeez. Clown world.
Looks like an old mine. It was probably chained underwater for 80 years, then finally broke loose.
Godzilla lost his tetherball
Nothing to see here folks
I was also thinking 'mooring' - loop at bottom, goes to bottom tied to something heavy, loop at top, ties off to boat.... Seems obvious to me.
Maybe they don't have Google image search in Japan?
Took me about 3 minutes to find these: https://blueoceanmarineequipment.com/marine-supply-equipment/buoys-fenders/steel-buoys/
3/16 steel, about 5' in diameter.
Houston, Neptune has landed.....
Looks like a giant round potato. Like Stelter.
