Chapter 11
Is "Beauty" the strongest value?
Yuyama: I've always thought that Koreans are similar to French. Hallyu boom(*1) Long before, I went to Seoul for coverage in the 1980s, when there was more friction between Japan and South Korea. Then, during the meal with the artists, the topic "What do you think about the responsibility of the war?" I've heard from seniors that it's kind of a pain, but somehow it's not hysterical. It was the same thing that a French person said at a cafe, "How do you think about the problem of whales?" (laughs). In short, there is a culture that likes debates and enjoys hot debate. The woman looks like a mess, and the man still has the aesthetics and style of being a "boy," and as a result, she is totally sexy.
Sakamoto: South Korea has a high degree of Latin. That's a lot more compared to Japanese men. I had a concert in Seoul in 2000, and the way of clapping was the same as in Italy.
Yuyama: So, when the Korean wave boom came, I thought it was something I had seen. It seems like you will bring 100 roses when you quarrel (laughs). This is also French. The atmosphere of the stone pavement is similar to that of Paris, which is a little different from the image of Asia.
Sakamoto: I feel that Korea has a strong yearning for Paris. When you watch a Korean drama, the hero must be studying in Paris. People who have a little money want to send their sons and daughters to Paris and NY to study abroad because they have a great admiration. What's different from the Japanese feeling is that you don't have to speak Korean anymore. You can use English or French. My parents can hardly speak English, but my daughters and sons may not speak Korean. It's extremely radical.
Yuyama: That means that there is a strong desire to survive and a strong hope for the future. That's because some people think of culture as a tool to help them live better. The Japanese men are more of a two-dimensional ideal image than the real woman in front of their lust, so it is only a gag to argue with 100 roses, and women also same as, so Korean and JOHNNY 's. In a sense, it's very cultural, but in a society of visual superiority, the Japanese are escaping from the real world.
Sakamoto: Japan is on the verge of extinction. In developed countries, the population is decreasing everywhere. However, in France 9.11(*2) It seems that it has grown a little after that, and there was such a terrorism, so I'm probably saying "Love again". On the other hand, people in developed countries say that Africa and the population are growing rapidly, and that there is sex education and condom distribution, but it seems to be an African tradition. It's said that men are uncomfortable. I will run away immediately after doing that.
Yuyama: For women in developed countries who don't travel to men even if they are dressed as women, it may be better to use that kind of "one shot shop" (laughs). As one woman, there is a saying that "I don't care about my husband, but I want only my children." I wonder if women in developed countries should move and go to this place.
Sakamoto: Maybe so. Kenyan Masai(*3) There was only one strange European house in the village, but it was a famous house where a French woman married a Masai man and lived for decades. There are many people who are married to Africans in French and British societies, but it is rare for a woman to marry in a Masai village in Kenya. Perhaps it was the most advanced thing for her, the French man shouldn't do it.
Yuyama: Well, that's what my acquaintance had, and she fell in love with a man from a tribe in the South American outback, where I went to a TV job overseas, and had a long-distance relationship (laughs). The tribal man will get her contact at the town's internet cafe for days. Isn't it real, isn't it paper? She thought that she would spend money and enjoy the vacation at the resort, and at one point really thought about going to the bride of the tribe (laugh).
Sakamoto: I think it's good. I would go if I were a woman. On the other hand, there is also a story that in China there are only women left in the village because men go out to work, and travelers passing through it have to go to all the women in the village to crawl at night. Yeah. The woman in the village doesn't need a man in her family, but she wants us to come there at night.
Yuyama: The decency of the world is frowned upon, but if you are really worried about the falling birthrate, it might be so drastic. By the way, the boy I met at the bar the other day has a beautiful face, Burmese(※Four) There is a story about the story of a father who was drawn from the royal family and fell in love with a daughter of a local royal family when he entered Burma for work abroad and was tied up. Various mixes are now available in Japan as well.
Sakamoto:Silk road(※Five) of Tajikistan(*6) Or roughly speaking Turkish(*7) There are all kinds of mixes, such as people who are white but have single eyelids, or people who look like oriental people with deep blue eyes. It's so beautiful, it looks like a jewel. They caused wars (laughs). It can't be helped if they are forced to rob. Three Kingdoms(*8) But Cao(*9) Is Kotaka(※Ten) I just started a fight because I wanted.
Yuyama:"Beautiful woman(*11) Is that? After all, a beautiful woman has the strongest value to win the hearts of many people. That's too much agreement, so it's a problem for women. I can't solve it by modern theory alone.
Sakamoto: That is true in the present age. Before this Drug hepatitis lawsuit(*12) To the plaintiff representative of Beautiful woman from Nagasaki(※13) You were there. The presence of the media and politicians had changed at all depending on whether she was there or not. Everyone was chasing her because she was there, and the litigation itself advanced as the attention increased. That's what it is. Koizumi(※14) I also wanted to meet at the time of neck equivalent, Masuzoe(*15) Even saying, "I will watch over you at the end of your trip." After all, it seems that you are interested (laughs).
Yuyama: If it's that easy, you can strategically introduce cute girls and good-looking guys to various opposition movements and difficult lawsuits. I will think short-circuited! However, this is the truth of "visual society".
Sakamoto:Japanese Communist Party(*16) Also, Shishi-san(*17) Instead, I think if I have a cute girl as the party leader, I will grow rapidly (laughs).
