The End of 18 Years on goo Blog and the Mission to Continue the “Turntable of Civilization” — A Clear Outlook on China, Pro-China Media, and Japan’s Future
Since July 16, 2010, the author has updated his goo blog almost daily. As the NTT-operated platform shuts down on November 18, he completes the migration of tens of thousands of articles to Hatena and Ameba, reaffirming his mission to continue the “Turntable of Civilization” for the next 170 years. Responding to a Sankei Shimbun report about the CCP urging citizens to avoid Japan, he sharply criticizes China’s lack of self-awareness, the degeneration of pro-China media such as NHK and Asahi, and the misguided multilingual signage policies pushed by Komeito. He also reflects on tourism issues, Kyoto’s autumn foliage, and the facial expressions of media figures allegedly influenced by Chinese honey traps. He concludes that the honor of his alma mater and of Kyoto University has been fully preserved.
The blog site GOO, operated by an NTT-affiliated company since July 16, 2010, and updated by me almost every day, will terminate all services on November 18—that is, the day after tomorrow.
As I have written earlier, the migration to Hatena Blog took a month and a half but was completed in early October.
The migration to Ameba is almost complete, but for some reason, all posts from January to May 2023, December 2023, and the entire year of 2024 cannot be transferred.
Therefore, I am manually migrating the Japanese chapters one by one.
Yesterday, I attended the piano recital of Ayako Uehara, whom I praise as “the best in the world.”
Filled with an indescribably magnificent performance, I pushed the migration work all at once.
This column is the one and only blog in the postwar world.
I too must continue the world’s finest work.
To be the world’s finest pianist is Ayako Uehara’s mission.
My mission is to continue being the world’s finest online writer.
After all, I have decided to continue this column for the next 170 years.
As long as the “Turntable of Civilization” continues to spin eternally in Japan… the possibility of that is large—the past two thousand years of Japan prove it unmistakably.
In other words, this column will continue to be written as long as humanity exists.
This morning, I woke up without waking even once during the night.
I shall accelerate my work further.
In the Sankei Shimbun morning edition, a headline caught my eye: the Chinese government = CCP = the Communist Party’s one-party dictatorship = Xi Jinping’s dictatorship calling for Chinese citizens to refrain from visiting Japan.
I became convinced that China, exactly like the pro-China media such as Asahi Shimbun and NHK—whose employees are trapped by honey traps and money traps, and whose key positions are infiltrated by operatives—cannot see itself at all, blinded by their hopeless arrogance.
They do not even realize that they are despised throughout the world.
Xi Jinping called for refraining from visiting Japan.
“All of you, please stop coming!”
From tomorrow onward, the autumn foliage of Kyoto—the essence of beauty across Japan—will enter its peak season.
Most Japanese people, including me as I head out to photograph it, fervently wish this to happen.
Except for a handful of unknown people running trivial roadside shops catering to vulgar tourists with no manners, no public morals, and no sense of hygiene—and a few businesspeople—most Japanese citizens would welcome such a development, though Xi Jinping = CCP = China does not know this.
The disgraceful policy—introduced by the pro-China political party Komeito, which holds the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism portfolio—of adding Chinese and Korean signs and announcements to public broadcasting will also be abolished and restored to normal.
The CCP does not even know that tourism revenue is insignificant in Japan’s GDP.
If Japan truly becomes angry and cuts all exchanges, China’s economy would collapse instantly, yet the CCP is completely unaware of this, just like NHK and Asahi Shimbun—their obedient media servants.
If not a single Chinese or Korean person remained, I could immerse myself entirely in photographing Kyoto’s autumn foliage without adjusting my frame or editing out Chinese tourists.
Above all, I would no longer feel the negative emotion of “I want to go, but since they’re Chinese…”
And there is one more thing—suddenly, a “transcendence” visited me.
Or rather, in this case, “an outlook” is the better term, for such foolish opponents do not deserve the word “transcendence.”
As I have already written, Toru Tamagawa, an employee of TV Asahi, is a man who graduated from my alma mater Sendai Second High School and then went on to Kyoto University.
Such a man could never exist in my alma mater; I have never seen anyone of his kind.
His behavior led me to write that Kyoto University became known as a “red university” like many others, and that during that period he was there, which resulted in his becoming such a foolish leftist.
But in fact, that was not the case, as I newly “saw” through him.
He has an abnormal face.
In the chapter about the Asahi Shimbun editorial chief Wakamiya, who died under mysterious circumstances in Beijing, I wrote that people caught in Chinese honey traps or money traps all have abnormal faces.
If Toru Tamagawa had fallen into a honey trap or money trap—if China threatened to expose him—his livelihood would be cut off in an instant.
That, I finally realized, is the reason for that expression on his face.
It was refreshing.
It has nothing to do with the honor of my alma mater.
He is simply as foolish as all the other Chinese operatives scattered throughout the media.
The honor of my alma mater and Kyoto University has been perfectly preserved.
