The following is from Masayuki Takayama's serialized column that marks the end of Weekly Shincho, released today.
A long time ago, an elderly female professor of the Royal Ballet School of Monaco, who prima ballerinas around the world highly respect, visited Japan.
She spoke at that time 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, many of those who call themselves artists, such as Oe, Murakami, and Hirano, do not even deserve the artist's name.
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, only a minimal number of actual artists exist.
This paper also keenly proves 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 Japanese people but for people worldwide.
The prestige of the Japan Innovation Party
Gathering people on black sites and having them rob wealthy people.
I was astonished to hear that the source of such an order was an immigration control facility in Manila.
The facility is a "jail" where criminals awaiting deportation are kept.
Even in such a place, if you have money, you can go downtown at night to have fun.
They can drink and play, but at the end of the day, they must always return to their prisons.
When the Japanese newspapers were astonished at the abundance of freedom, Osamu Aoki, a pro-Korean cultural figure, gave them a strange backhanded rebuke, "Are you qualified to criticize immigration facilities in other countries?"
He was referring to the death of Wishma Sandamali, who was in an immigration facility without being granted the provisional release or hospitalization in a medical facility, that she had requested.
They want to say something about that scandal.
I wonder if it's just that.
I see that the immigration facilities in the Philippines are very free.
They can do whatever they want as long as they have money.
Even deportation can be postponed by having someone file a lawsuit.
However, Aoki needs to be made aware of a country that grants even greater freedom than that.
That country is Japan.
In Japan, you can get out of deportation without spending any money and even go out in the real world for free.
How easy it is!
Take Wishma, for example, whom Aoki pointed out.
She is a Sinhalese national from Sri Lanka, just like Coomaraswamy, who disgraced Japan under the name of UN Special Rapporteur.
She came to Japan for language training in the spring of her 29th year.
She planned to learn the language and become an English teacher at a Japanese junior high school.
I am sick and tired of the Japanese educational climate, which is so unfair to foreigners that even such a makeshift English teacher is considered a foreigner, but I'll leave that aside.
So began Wishma's language training program, but within half a month, she moved in with a man from her hometown and stopped coming to school.
If she missed six months of school, her study-abroad pizza would expire, and she would be in the country illegally.
Perhaps finding the school's anxious attempts to contact her annoying, Wishma left with the man.
The New York Times was also interested.
According to the paper, two years after she disappeared, she asked the Shizuoka Prefectural Police for protection, saying, "The man I live with is going to kill me. I want to go back to my country.
However, she has no money on her person.
Her family pretends to be unaware of her disappearance.
She wants her to be repatriated to her country at the expense of the Japanese government.
So she was taken to an immigration facility in Nagoya, but after the human rights agency came in contact with her, things started to get strange.
First, she received a letter addressed to her from a man who had returned to Sri Lanka.
It is unclear who gave him her location, but the letter's content threatened to kill her if she ever returned.
She is horrified.
She refused to leave, and an application for refugee status was submitted under the care of a human rights agency.
The Japanese government accepts refugees when they "fear persecution for their religious or political beliefs."
She is no different.
If she returns home, persecution awaits her.
She is a refugee.
When her foolish application is rejected, she suddenly falls ill.
She did not eat, became emaciated, and requested a provisional release for hospitalization and treatment.
Someone must have told her that "another 6,000 people have already been released" for the same reason.
If they get out, they are free.
Of those released on provisional release, 10% (599) have escaped, and all live outside without fear of repatriation, except for 361 who were caught for murder or other crimes.
Under the current immigration law, if you are about to be deported, you can apply for refugee status as many times as you want.
It is much easier and cheaper than in the Philippines.
In the case of Wishma, she, unfortunately, died from anorexia during the application process.
Commenting on this case, Mizuho Umemura, a member of the House of Councillors of the Japan Innovation Party, said, "A single word from a supporter may have led to the faint hope that she would be released on parole if she became ill, leading to her fraudulent illness.
This question beautifully exposed the human rights abuses of illegal aliens who scoff at Japanese law and the human rights groups that encourage them.
However, the human rights workers who were confronted with the question protested, and her sister, who still lives in Japan, angrily stated that Umemura's statement offended her sister's dignity.
Other opposition parties also denounced Umemura's remarks.
The reason for the Japan Innovation Party's success in the last election may be due to the difference in the intellectual level.
