Transgender role played by Japanese pop star in new film “Midnight Swan”

Japanese movie depicts the blossoming mother-daughter friendship between a transgender woman, played by SMAP‘s Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and a neglected teenage girl.

Eiji Uchida’s new film Midnight Swan released its latest trailer on September 9, created passionate discussions about LGBT and transgenders in Japan.

The movie’s story follows Nagisa, played by former SMAP member Tsuyoshi Kusanagi. Initially from Hiroshima, Nagisa now lives in Shinjuku in Tokyo and has transitioned to living as a woman, but her day-to-day life is shaken up when a distant relative, neglected teenager Ichika, comes to stay with her. After Ichika offers a photograph, presumably of Nagisa before she transitioned, Nagisa tears it up and throws it on the ground.

The shots that follow show Ichika getting used to life in Nagisa’s apartment, being introduced to her friends — many of whom are other trans women — and learning her way around the neighborhood. When she happens upon a dance studio, Ichika is instantly captivated…and despite rocky relations with Nagisa both at home and when she brings her to meet her teachers, Ichika finds the courage to borrow the older woman’s tutu and practice some dance steps at the apartment.

Nagisa, for her part, is surprised by how pleased she is when the one of the characters erroneously refers to her as Ichika’s mother. Meanwhile, Ichika throws a chair at another student who insults Nagisa to her face. In what looks to be one of the movie’s pivotal scenes, Nagisa goes to Ichika’s familial home to take her back with her so she can dance at the club’s performance. And at the end, accompanied by the haunting subtitle “I really wanted to be your mother”, we see Ichika and Nagisa hugging…but in this scene, Nagisa’s hair has been cut, and she is no longer wearing her dresses or accessories, instead clad in a man’s shirt and slacks.

The tranny tears up a pre-transition photo of himself, threatening to kill Ichika if she tells anyone about his life in the countryside.

Ichika throws a chair at a student for bullying her.
That’s right Japanese kids, it’s okay to punch Nazis!

The tranny “saves” Ichika from her redneck family in the countryside, portrayed as bigoted, hateful, and ignorant, while the tranny is portrayed as rational, passionate, loving, and caring.

“It’s been a long time since I wanted to see a film this much.”
“I want to see this film because I, myself, am transgender…but I also just plain want to see it.”
“I cried just from the trailer! I really want to see this. Kusanagi is an incredible actor.”
“I’m a member of the LGBT community too so I really want to see it. It’s like I wasn’t seeing Kusanagi at all, just a woman telling her story.”

“I’m a member of the LGBT community too so I really want to see it. It’s like I wasn’t seeing Kusanagi at all, just a woman telling her story.”

The movie seems to follow a gradual but steady trend of increased Japanese support for LGBT individuals in Japanese society, and the star power of an established talent like Kusanagi is bound to draw plenty of interested audiences.

TL;DR:
The film follows the story of a transgender woman that “saves” a little girl from her redneck, backwards family in the countryside, portrayed as bigoted, intolerant, and stupid, while the tranny is portrayed as calm, intelligent, and soft spoken against overwhelming oppression. Seemingly, the tranny eventually helps the girl realize her own transition into a boy.

This film is one of many oncoming mediums to destroy traditional culture and families in Japan by normalizing LGBT relationships. This is the same transition that the West experienced over 20 years ago, and the young generation of Japanese people appear to be more than happy to embrace globalism and throw their traditional culture into the dumpster fire of cultural marxism; And we all know how that turned out:

“While ostensibly things aren’t as bad as they used to be, transgender individuals remain an oppressed minority in this country,” Uchida says.

Uchida first started working on the script around five years ago. He had long been interested in writing a story focusing on the problems faced by transgender people. He felt incorporating a lighter element about a young girl who aspires to be a professional ballet dancer would appeal to Japanese moviegoers.

“Even though it will be screened at 120 cinemas nationwide and is not an indie film, it still has the feel of one. It would be great if large numbers came to watch and learned something new about transgender issues in Japan.”

Feminist Icon Featured on Google Japan Front Page

Author Koda Aya is featured on the Google Japan front page today, but who is Koda Aya, and why is Google pushing her to Japanese people?

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2000/01/18/books/feminist-and-dutiful-daughter/

“the resilience, strength, and maturity [of Aya] differ sharply from the masochistic, self-sacrificial […] attitude prescribed for women – an attitude of persevering and not complaining about the oppression of patriarchy, the exploitation of the brutal capitalist, the barrenness of Japan’s rural landscape, the bankruptcy of unexamined habits of heterosexual marriage.”

Among Yukio Mishima, Yasunari Kawabata, Natsume Soseki, and hundreds of other much more influential and well-known Japanese authors, one is left to wonder why Google chose to push this woman to the Japanese people, whose writings highlight a feminist struggle through a “patriarchal oppressive” culture.

More New Foreign Residents Than Japanese Moved to Tokyo Last Year

Last year, the Japanese population of Tokyo was up just 0.19 percent, while its foreign population grew 6.23 percent, a rate more than 32 times faster. This marks the first time for the foreign population to increase faster than the Japanese one for the area since the ministry first began separating such demographic data in 2012.

The total population of Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba grew to 36,754,193 during 2019, a 0.37-percent increase over the previous year. Out of those new residents, 67,301 were Japanese citizens, but the bigger increase came from the 68,161 foreigners who started calling those parts of Japan their home.

More Immigration to Japan Predicted Post-COVID

“The United States, whose response to the virus exposed chaos and division, stands to lose migrants. But other countries will gain them, and with them, the attendant benefits of diversity, dynamism, and new talent. Few stand to profit more than Japan, a relatively secure and stable country with low unemployment—even a need for more laborers—and excellent universities that can lure students who may now be reluctant to risk expensive study in the West.

Japan has long been considered a fairly homogeneous country. After the pandemic, it is likely to grow more diverse and globally connected. This transformation, which will remake Japanese society and challenge the traditional understanding of its national identity, is necessary if Japan wants to remain a significant power in the global arena.

Japan is poised to shed [its hostility to immigration.] The Japanese government has in recent years created new categories of visas and relaxed the criteria of existing ones in order to recruit and retain more foreign workers and international students. In the five years before the pandemic, the number of foreign residents in Japan increased by 31 percent. The country has attributes likely to attract even more migrants after the pandemic. These include good job prospects, relatively affordable higher education, and a safe and orderly social environment. Japan has long boasted these comparative advantages, but the havoc of the global health crisis has made them all the more salient.

In addition to drawing more job-seeking migrants than in the past, Japan is becoming increasingly popular as a destination for international students, especially those from China and other Asian countries. Japan has attracted students from abroad since the 1980s, but the global dominance of the English language tilted the scales in favor of universities in Europe and North America. Most Chinese students, for instance, prefer to study in the United Kingdom or the United States rather than study in Japan. But the coronavirus could well disrupt that trend.”

Something about this article seems eerily familiar…

“Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies they once were in the last century. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation, Europe will not survive.”

Swedish Ambassador to Japan Tells Japanese Kids About Same-Sex Marriage

おいおい、スウェーデン大使「女性同士でも子供が持てる」って子供に教えてるよ。性教育も受けてない年齢だぜ？？こうやって他国の文化や法制度を持ち込んでくるんだよな。その前にお前の国の性犯罪率どうにかしろ。

Swedish Ambassador to Japan told Japanese kids about same-sex marriage… https://t.co/eSAYeqfKqf

— Tomo (@Tomo20309138) June 22, 2020

Kid:
“What do you like about Sweden?”

Swedecuck:
“Everyone can live the life they want to live. Especially when it comes to different ways of living. I said that I met my wife 30 years ago; That’s one way. Maybe some people live alone, they don’t have a partner. Or some have partners of same sex.

Did you know that in Sweden, if you are two girls you can also get a child or if you’re two boys you can also get a child.”

Kid:
“I saw a little bit on TV.”

Swedecuck:
“So one of the things I believe is important in every society is, of course, that every single boy and girl or individual gets to live the life she or he wants to live – and no one should have strong opinions about that.”

Black Lives Matter – 3,500 March in Tokyo – Organized and Supported by Temple University Japan

Sierra Todd, founder of Black Lives Matter Tokyo and a student at Temple University, participates in a rally in the capital on Sunday.

Black Lives Matter Tokyo was founded June 1 by a half-dozen youths — most of whom, including Todd, are students at Temple University in Tokyo. In less than two weeks, the group has gained the support of several thousand followers on social media.

Todd hopes BLM Tokyo can change the perception of black people in Japan by organizing further demonstrations, creating a diverse community of people and making their work more visible.

Temple University’s Dean, Bruce Stronach, made this statement about the marches:

Yesterday’s march in Tokyo for Black Lives Matter Tokyo was beautiful. Beautiful because it demonstrates the strength of support around the world against racism, discrimination, and brutality of any kind. It made me feel better than I have for weeks to see the diversity in the thousands of marchers, Japanese and non-Japanese alike. The TUJ Community can take pride in the commitment and energy of students like Sierra Todd, one of the central organizers, as well as all the students, staff and faculty who participated by working, walking, donating, or supporting by whatever means. It was also very well organized; powerful but peaceful. We talk a lot about experiential learning and yesterday was a great example of educating the world through social commitment.

As someone who was in university during the late 1960s, yesterday’s march also contained some sadness. Do we have to do this again, and again, and again? The truth is that the world will never be a perfect place but it can be made better. Moving forward takes energy, it takes commitment, it takes organization, it takes awareness, it takes determination. I hope that these are all attributes that TUJ students will bring to bear to make the world a better place for everyone.
[…]
TUJ is a half a world away and Japan is very different from the US in certain respects, but as a diverse community we feel the pain of injustices happening to Black communities and people of color, both together and personally. Wherever we are in the world, as global citizens, we must step up and call for justice when justice is called for, and stand against racism, bigotry, and brutality of all kinds.

– Bruce Stronach, Temple University Japan, Dean

Temple University Japan continues its assault on Japanese culture and society, through the mass indoctrination of its student body, which is now pouring out into the streets of Japan, infecting everything it touches. International schools in Japan are portals for cultural marxist poison to seep into the nation. Japan must end international schools in Japan if it has any hope of curbing the indoctrination of their youth.
