I sent this chapter on 10/26/2015.
The following is from "Masayuki Takayama cuts US, China, Korea, Asahi" by Masayuki Takayama, a real man of principle and arguably the most sane newspaper reporter in postwar Japan, Themis, 1000 yen.
In an editorial that conveys the facts as only he can, Takayama criticizes the stupidity of the Japanese mass media, which has been placing a high value on Kang Sang-jung, as readers of the following chapters will no doubt think. My insight into this man was 100% correct.
p192～p197
The *~* sentences are mine.
Pseudo-Japanese posing as Japanese. Who do you think you are?
There was a group of people who shattered the fingers and faces of dead bodies in disaster areas and took their rings and gold crowns.
Kang Sang-jung, who called himself "Tetsuo Nagano
NHK's "Sunday Museum of Art" is quite lavishly produced using the abundant viewing fees.
For example, they carefully show rarely seen works such as the autumn grass paintings by Sakai Hoitsu of the Rimpa school.
It was a program that, although frustrating, I couldn't help but watch.
I write "was" in the past tense because Kang Sang-jung was appointed program host at one point.
His discourse is colored by his atonement-demanding, extortionist nature, such as "I was discriminated against" and "I was forcibly taken to Japan from the Korean Peninsula."
In reality, his father, a native of South Gyeongsang Province, came to Japan because he could no longer make a living due to debts, dishonesty, and misbehavior.
At the end of the last war, there was a wartime conscription.
There was a shortage of labor.
So, Japan gathered workers from the Korean peninsula.
＊I wrote in this column that until the very last minute, Japan had excluded citizens of the Korean Peninsula from the wartime conscription program.
Takayama proves this as well.
The date of the end of the war is the one mentioned above.
At the same time, I wrote that wartime conscription was a common practice in all Western countries in the 20th century, the century of war.
We have continued to pay about 5,000 yen per month for the Asahi Shimbun, reporting such things as "forced recruitment," without realizing that its efforts to undermine Japan were treason against the nation and should have been punished as a felony.
Thus, we have had to spend our lives with respect for so-called cultural figures who grew up reading the Asahi, such as Kenzaburo Oe, as representatives.
I will talk about this later. ＊
The "being moved forcibly," as they call it, refers to the wartime conscription that Japan finally applied to the Korean Peninsula citizens at the end of the war.
Still, they were also among the people who sneaked into Japan on their own accord.
＊It is an obvious fact that Western countries were the first to gather colonists and send them to the battlefield as front-line soldiers.
It makes the lies of the Asahi Shimbun about forced rendition and the anti-Japanese propaganda of the people of the Korean Peninsula and CCP who took advantage of this lie grave.
They must be condemned as the worst crime against humanity in the history of humankind. ＊
Japan did not really allow such illegal immigration, but we are lenient with that.
His father settled in Kumamoto, and he invited a woman from the peninsula to live with him. Kang Sang-jung was born.
Although he was not Sōshi-kaimei, he called himself Tetsuo Nagano and went on to study at Waseda University from Kumamoto Seisei High School.
Which country provides such non-discriminatory treatment to parents and children of smugglers?
But he doesn't know gratitude.
He says he was bullied in high school because of his background.
His old friends, on the other hand, are angry about his false charge, saying they didn't know he was Korean and had no intention of bullying him over it.
Isn't it his invention that he was bullied?
If that's not the case and he was really bullied, wouldn't it be because he just had a lousy personality and was hated by everyone, not because of his origins?
Looking at his daily life, I can't help but think that way.
He often discusses Takeshima.
Since he grew up in Japan, he is fully aware that Takeshima is Japanese territory and that Japanese people would not do something as outrageous as his countrymen and Chinese people, twisting historical facts and making it their territory.
Does "we" mean "compatriots of South Korea"?
However, he brazenly says," We (Koreans) are simply in effective control of our territory."
Is it really possible for someone with a distorted nature to accept the facts in front of them to understand art?
Do you understand the Japanese sensibilities behind Korin's Kakitsubata illustrations, which impressed Van Gogh?
I saw him host "Sunday Art Museum" once, but then I stopped watching.
If you mumble your words in a low-pitched voice, even beautiful things will give off a rotten smell.
I haven't watched NHK for a year since then.
Kang appears not only on NHK but also on TV Asahi.
Certain stations like stinky things.
When I saw him on "Live TV Until Morning'' once, he said, "We are.''
Judging from the context, it seems to mean "we Japanese," but he used it to mean "Korean compatriots" at Takeshima.
When agitating forcibly taken away, it is used to mean "zainichi."
I don't know what you mean by this, but as a Japanese person, I would like to say no clearly, at least when you say it as a Japanese person.
In fact, the number of pseudo-Japanese people who look half-heartedly Japanese is increasing.
In the Aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, Japanese people affected by the disaster shared their pain and helped each other.
