The following is from Masayuki Takayama's book "America and China Lie Selfimportantly" published on 2/28/2015.
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.
U.S. Media Charge U.S. Troops with Random Killing Before the "Bataan Death March"
Following the bombing of Clark Field in the Philippines almost simultaneously with the attack on Pearl Harbor, Lieutenant General Masaharu Homma and 40,000 generals landed at Lingayen Gulf two weeks later, on December 22, 1941, and drove out three times as many U.S. and Philippine troops.
Trembling MacArthur informed Washington of the abandonment of Manila and began to retreat to the Bataan Peninsula.
Cowards always run fast.
Lester Tenney, a tank crewman who had just arrived in Luzon just before the war started, was no less cowardly than MacArthur.
His tank team avoided encountering Japanese vehicles and headed straight for the Bataan Peninsula.
When they came to a small village, "the whites could not distinguish between Japanese and Filipinos, so they shot indiscriminately at huts and stores," killing everyone in their path, according to his book, "The Bataan Death March.
He also says that he "immediately killed anyone without identification" and "I was afraid that they would inform the Japanese army, so I blew up four houses, including their families, with a tank gun."
Although technically Jewish, Tenney seems to believe that whites have the privilege of killing people of color.
He surrendered to the Japanese six months later and was walked to a camp only 12 kilometers away.
Half the journey was made "in freight cars" (ibid.). Still, Tenneye continued to accuse Japan of making a big fuss about it, saying "it was a hell march," and the foolish Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada invited him to Japan to apologize.
Okada should have just handed him over to the Philippine government and had him tried for killing innocent people.
At the same time, in British Burma, the British, who had been acting "like gods," were trembling at the Japanese invasion.
In February 1942, when the Japanese army was already close by, the monthly club championship was held at the prestigious Rangoon CC, and R. Hamilton won with the worst score of all time, 84.
The Japanese Army? They may have thought they were acting like it, but the score honestly conveyed their fears.
They first fled their families to India, and when the Japanese vehicles approached Mandalay from Rangoon, Viceroy Dorman Smith and his men abandoned their pose as Gods.
They broke away into the dense forests to the north, escaping from the Chindwin River over the steep mountains to Imphal.
Two years later, during the Battle of Imphal, the Japanese army followed in the footsteps of the Viceroy's escape.
The British and Indian forces under their command were supposed to provide a solid cover, but first, the Indian soldiers fled. Then, an avalanche of British officers followed in their wake.
At Taungsa, about 100 kilometers southwest of Mandalay, British officer Gerald Fitzpatrick's group met a small group of villagers.
The rest was the same as for U.S. soldier Tenney.
He confessed to the South China Morning Post on July 10, 1984, that he had killed all 27 people in the village, including children, to avoid being reported to the enemy.
Both U.S. and British colonial rule was harsh.
When they fled, they naturally got even, so their form of punishment was to kill first.
Japan ruled quite differently from the British and Americans.
In Taiwan, except for Toyoki, the wife of Hatta Yoichi, who built the Wusantou Dam, who threw herself into the dam's spillway in pursuit of her husband, who was killed in action, most Japanese were seen off by their friends and quietly returned to the mainland.
On the Korean Peninsula, however, people were different.
Yoko Kawashima's family, who lived in Ranam, North Korea, did not know their true nature until the Korean service members came in with their feet under the pretext of offering precious metals.
They took everything from Yoko's paperweight to her mother's gold-rimmed glasses.
The Yoko Story" begins with my mother and Yoko escaping this dangerous town.
Unlike Tenny, the Japanese never thought of preemptively and indiscriminately slaughtering them, but only on this peninsula was it the right thing to do.
Yoko witnessed the Koreans looting Japanese homes on every occasion of their escape, attacking and murdering, and raping the fallen.
The U.S. Board of Education designated the book as a supplemental reader for junior high school students.
Still, in 2006, the Korean Residents Association in the U.S. began making a big fuss about it.
They said it was a false accusation that Koreans are brutal people who love to rape.
The author, Yoko Watkins, who lives in the U.S., was dragged to a denunciation meeting where Korean correspondents joined her and forced her to apologize.
The Boston Globe reported the hanging and the removal of "Yoko's Story" from the supplemental reading material and wondered why the Japanese correspondents huddled in Washington ignored Yoko to the end.
But the Japanese documents, of course, prove Yoko right.
A woman who was raped and became pregnant on the peninsula on her way back to Japan underwent an abortion without anesthesia at the Futsukaichi Clinic near the port of Hakata.
Even in the medical questionnaire ending June 1946 alone, "There were 47 illegal pregnancies. The perpetrators were 28 Koreans, 8 Soviets, and 6 Chinese."
The word on the street is "beastly Soviet soldiers," but the Koreans were three times more dangerous than the beastly Soviets.
The number of "repatriated Japanese who were killed," as Yoko saw it, is unknown. Still, in 2005, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the Soviet Union had sent 27,000 interned Japanese soldiers to North Korea.
There are testimonies from the few survivors who say they were mistreated in that bitterly cold region, overworked without food, and "forced to sleep outdoors."
Many of them are believed to have died an ignominious death.
The other day, North Korea told the Japanese Red Cross that several thousand Japanese remains had been found.
The Asahi Shimbun writes, "Japanese who fled to the Korean Peninsula from the former Manchuria due to the Soviet invasion may have died of cold and hunger."
It was the former Soviet Union that was to blame.
There is also the testimony of Yoko.
It is time to stop writing irresponsible articles ignoring the brutality of the Korean people, which history has proven.
Isn't the Takeshima issue also a result of Asahi Shimbun writing irresponsible articles and letting their lies stand?
