Published on August 19, 2019. Prompted by the full-page opinion advertisement placed in the Nikkei by citizens of Hong Kong, this article argues that Japan is a nation where “The Turntable of Civilization” turns, criticizes the postwar influence of the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, Oe Kenzaburo, and Murakami Haruki, and discusses China’s totalitarianism, Hong Kong citizens’ longing for freedom, and the global responsibility Japan ought to fulfill.

August 19, 2019.
Unlike Japanese people who subscribe to the Asahi Shimbun and watch NHK, they know that Japan is a country where “The Turntable of Civilization” is turning.
Why did the citizens of Hong Kong place the following full-page opinion advertisement in the Nikkei?
Among repeat visitors to Kyoto, people from Hong Kong and Taiwan are among the foremost in the world.
Unlike Japanese people who subscribe to the Asahi Shimbun and watch NHK, they know that Japan is a country where “The Turntable of Civilization” is turning.
They placed a full-page advertisement in the Nikkei because they know that, alongside the United States, Japan is a country that must guide the world as a world leader for the next 170 years.
However, although Abe Shinzo is truly working with the force of a lion and is returning Japan to where it ought to be…
If one looks at his work at the G20 and his position there, it is only natural that the citizens of Hong Kong took the following action.
But until August five years ago, Japan was controlled by the Asahi Shimbun.
It was controlled by the Asahi Shimbun, the agent of China and the Korean Peninsula, the only two anti-Japanese states in the world.
The Asahi Shimbun and NHK have continued to brainwash the Japanese people by saying that Japan was an evil country that started a war and that the Japanese Army was an army that was the embodiment of evil.
In other words, at first in accordance with the War Guilt Information Program, which was GHQ’s occupation policy, and after the recovery of sovereignty, infected by communism and pseudo-moralism, and exploited there by China and the Korean Peninsula,
in accordance with their intentions and their propaganda,
they have continued to place Japan in the position of a political prisoner in the international community.
The advertisement below is, by analogy, “The Dying Swan” danced by Maya Plisetskaya.
But everyone must have felt the powerlessness of Japan today.
If Japan were, as the citizens of Hong Kong see it, a country where the turntable of civilization is turning, a country that has achieved the world’s highest freedom and intellect,
and if Japan had been able, both in name and reality, to behave as a world leader alongside the United States,
Japan would have been able to answer the desperate opinion advertisement that the citizens of Hong Kong issued, sparing no great expense.
The representative figures among those unforgivable people who, like the Asahi Shimbun and NHK, have continued to play a major role in keeping Japan in the shameful condition of being unable to respond
are Oe Kenzaburo and Murakami Haruki.
Regarding the Korean Peninsula, Murakami Haruki
disparaged those who, on the Internet, exposed the lies of the Asahi Shimbun and brought to light the reality of the Korean Peninsula, calling them people drinking cheap liquor and the like,
and publicly declared in the pages of the Asahi Shimbun that Japan must continue apologizing to the Korean Peninsula forever.
Regarding China,
in a recent work, he wrote as if the Nanjing Massacre not only truly happened, but as if the number of victims was not 200,000 but 400,000.
This is the greatest possible flattery and fawning toward China.
Murakami Haruki is a person of whom most Japanese citizens do not know where he is or what he is doing.
By searching, I learned that he stays at luxury resort destinations around the world and writes novels.
It goes without saying that for the intelligence services of China, a one-party communist dictatorship for which propaganda and propaganda work are, without exaggeration, everything—in other words, the intelligence services of the totalitarian state of China—he is an ideal target.
Moreover, to the Japanese people, he is a mysterious existence.
He is a person whose daily life is unknown.
If I were the head of China’s intelligence services, I would send the most beautiful woman among the honey-trap operatives, said to number no fewer than 5,000, to the ultra-luxury resort hotel where he was staying.
After all, most Japanese citizens have absolutely no idea where he is.
At the same time, that also means that he is full of openings.
The intelligence services of South Korea, which for seventy-four years after the war has continued Nazism under the name of anti-Japanese education, think exactly the same about him as China does.
I had not intended to write about Oe Kenzaburo in this article,
but when he received the Nobel Prize, China and the Korean Peninsula must have carried out an intense campaign of recommendation behind the scenes.
Now, as for Murakami Haruki, I have never once wanted to read his so-called novels.
As I have already written, I first read his style and prose in the issue of the monthly magazine Sound Argument in which he appeared in “A Biographical Series of Japan’s Hollow Men,” and I was astonished by its childishness.
I knew about his career.
He graduated from Waseda University…Waseda at that time was a university with a lower deviation score than it has now, and it was certainly not a difficult university to enter.
As a translator of Raymond Carver, Kurt Vonnegut, Raymond Chandler, and others, his name would sometimes appear in the pages of the Asahi Shimbun.
It was after he wrote Norwegian Wood that he was, so to speak, suddenly promoted as a huge best-selling author.
I knew that Joyce Carol Oates was said to be one of America’s greatest writers and one of the closest to receiving the Nobel Prize, and that her greatest masterpiece was written based on the inspiration she received when she heard Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right.”
Bob Dylan and John Lennon are inseparable human beings who have supported my singular life.
It is no exaggeration to say that I have lived supported by these two people every single day.
I felt a sense of incongruity that Murakami Haruki had used the Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood” as his title.
One day, when I arrived at the above conjecture, a hypothesis was born.
So I investigated the time difference between the two stories.
The result was exactly as I had conjectured.
I wrote about that here.
I wrote that there was a strong possibility that he had plagiarized her.
After some time, when I searched for Joyce Carol Oates on Wikipedia to confirm it again, I was astonished.
What had been such a large and extensive entry had been almost entirely deleted and changed into a very short biography.
I immediately thought:
My conjecture was 100 percent correct.
Probably a fanatical Harukist from South Korea or China had launched their specialty, a complaint attack, and had it deleted.
There can be no explanation other than that my conjecture was true.
Because of the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, Oe, Murakami, and others, Japan, in the face of the following desperate opinion advertisement,
faces people who absolutely do not want to lose freedom and intellect, who now stand on the verge of having the minimum conditions for being human taken away by China,
a one-party communist dictatorship and the greatest and worst human-rights violator in history,
a China where there is not even freedom of speech.
To that dying voice, our country, Japan, the greatest country in the world,
has been degraded into a country that can say nothing,
because of the most base and malignant people: the Asahi Shimbun, NHK, Oe, Murakami, and their kind.
If the postwar era had not been one in which those base and lowest people ruled Japan,
China, which tried to become a hegemonic state that should never be permitted by humanity, is now being economically squeezed completely by the United States, which has finally realized China’s true nature and will no longer allow it to become any more arrogant.
The one-party dictatorship of the Communist Party is a candle flickering in the wind.
That is why China has come sidling up to Japan.
Of course, as usual, while continuing to threaten the Senkaku Islands with military force, in precisely the manner of a gangster state.
For China now, every kind of technology, including semiconductors, and Japan’s financial power are their last lifeline.
But because Japan has been ruled by the world’s most base and malignant people mentioned above,
and as a result of the influence that still remains,
Japan cannot even tell China
that unless China can guarantee the freedom and intellect desired by the citizens of Hong Kong, Japan cannot conduct amicable transactions with China.
