The following is from the book published on 2/28/2015 by Masayuki Takayama, which is mainly a collection of editorials from when he was writing anonymously at the request of the Editor-in-Chief of "now and then," which opens the monthly magazine Sound Argument.
It is a must-read not only for Japan but also for the world's people.
Everyone will be amazed at the sharpness of his tongue as he reveals and conveys the truth to us.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is his best book regarding sharpness of argument.
This paper also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
A long time ago, an elderly female professor of the Royal Ballet School of Monaco, highly respected by prima ballerinas worldwide, visited Japan.
At that time, she spoke about the significance of an artist's existence.
She said, "Artists are important because they are the only ones who can shed light on hidden, concealed truths and express them."
No one would dispute her words.
It is no exaggeration to say that Masayuki Takayama is not only the one and only journalist in the postwar world but also the one and only artist in the postwar world.
On the other hand, Ōe, I don't want to speak ill of the deceased, but (to follow Masayuki Takayama's example below), Murakami and many others who call themselves writers or think of themselves as artists are not even worthy of the name of artists.
They have only expressed the lies the Asahi Shimbun and others created rather than shedding light on hidden truths and telling them.
Their existence is not limited to Japan but is the same in other countries worldwide.
In other words, there are only a few true artists.
This paper is another excellent proof that I am right when I say that no one in the world today deserves the Nobel Prize in Literature more than Masayuki Takayama.
It is a must-read not only for the people of Japan but for people all over the world.
Beijing Seals Sihanouk's Mouth
Cambodia's King Sihanouk died in a Beijing hospital. He was the only living witness who could tell how Japan changed Asia.
When Japan was defeated, greedy nations from around the world gathered.
Switzerland, a permanent neutral nation without fighting in the war, demanded reparations. Italy, a member of the Tripartite Pact, switched sides in the middle of the war and demanded reparations because it was on the side of the Allied Powers.
Even worse than the Swiss was President Quirino of the Philippines, who, in one night, hanged 14 Class BC war criminals held at Montemplupa to force Japan to accept high reparations.
He threatened to hang more if Japan disagreed.
He was human scum.
Amidst all this, Sihanouk was the only one who said, "The French have ended their rule. I am rather grateful to Japan," he said, abandoning his demand for reparations.
He later expressed his feelings in the film "The Rose of Bogor.
Bogor is a highland city that French people once inhabited. Against this backdrop, the story depicts a tender love story between a Japanese officer trying to expel white domination and a local woman.
The heroine is Queen Monique.
The Japanese officer was played by Sihanouk himself.
Soon after the film was made, the face of this peaceful country, which had kept its distance from the Cold War, changed drastically.
The king was ousted after a coup d'état by Lon Nol, arranged by the United States.
The idea was to break Vietnam's back from this country.
Meanwhile, China also fostered the Pol Pot faction to check Vietnam, which eventually led to the massacre of 1.7 million people.
Cambodia's tragedy was partly caused by the U.S. but mainly by China.
Sihanouk's children and grandchildren were killed, and China took him himself prisoner.
He passed away at the age of 89.
Kazuo Asami, a Mainichi Shimbun reporter who wrote the fake story of the "Hundred Man Killing Contest," was hidden in China with his daughter when the truth came out.
So, China kept the "Hundred Man Killing Contest" fake.
Shina knows very well whom to hide so that Shina's lie will not be exposed.
