Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 488 The Most Spread Gossip Gazette
Once you've thought of something, you should do it as soon as possible.

When talking about Okinawa, Gu Ming immediately thought of Tetsuo Kinjo, whose hometown is Okinawa. After becoming famous, he had a sinecure at an Okinawa museum. If history had not changed, Kinjo would have returned to his hometown after resigning and devoted himself to promoting Okinawa's autonomy.

Gu Ming came to find him.

Some things, some words, you just have to do them at least once!
On Monday morning, Gu Ming personally drove Tetsuo Kinjo to the Sankei Shimbun's office to protest.

Prior to this, Gu Ming had also submitted the prepared materials to several newspapers, especially the Yomiuri Shimbun, in a categorized manner.

The Yomiuri Shimbun would certainly not adopt this approach, because what Tani Akira wanted to mention was Japan's anti-American plan, and the Yomiuri Shimbun's stance was precisely pro-American.

But it doesn't matter. Whether they refuse or agree, Gu Ming will take further action.

At this moment, Tetsuo Kinjo was even more nervous than Gu Ming.

His forehead was already soaked with sweat. He took out a small handkerchief and carefully wiped it before looking at Gu Ming.

"Furutani-kun, am I alright?"

"It's alright," Gu Ming said. "Is everything ready?"

"Of course, this is all information I've collected over the years, including the atrocities committed by the US military in Okinawa, as well as the culture and customs of the Okinawans, the unique characteristics of the region, and so on. I just don't dare to think whether we can really report these things out there?"

Gu Ming shrugged.

Of course!
Because at this moment, several Japanese newspapers are doing things that incite public opinion.

Such a sensitive topic could easily spread if even one newspaper were to inadvertently publish it.

Just like what happened before.

Good things don't necessarily spread well, but things with a bit of gossip can easily reach everyone's attention!
Thinking about it, Gu Ming raised his hand and gently patted Kinjo Tetsuo's shoulder.

“Let’s go, Mr. Kinjo, let’s meet with the editor of the Sankei Shimbun, and then submit all your writings to him!”

……

……

Just like the characteristics of this era, Japan also has its own unique tabloids. At train stations and bus stations, places where long-distance travel is required, there are always people secretly distributing pamphlets.

Just recently, Wangu's printing department worked overtime to print a batch of brochures and distributed them to various sites.

Makoto Takahashi is a moderately successful office worker who frequently travels for work, spending most of his time between Tokyo and various rural areas of Japan, selling water heaters.

Makoto Takahashi's record was being away on business trips for a whole year, with only a few days when he occasionally returned home. Upon arriving home, he was overwhelmed with tears as he looked at his newborn child, whom he had carried for ten months.

Makoto Takahashi is on a business trip today.

"Brother, wanna buy a book?"

A vendor, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, was making faces and winking.

Makoto Takahashi understood it at a glance.

"You bastard, what do you take me for! Open your eyes and take a good look. I'm a senior employee of Taf Water Heater Company. How could social elites like us look at scum like this? Here's two hundred yen, give it to me, I want to give him a good talking-to!"

Makoto Takahashi dismissed the vendor and then began to peruse the brochure in his hand in the nearby waiting hall.

The contents of these pamphlets are actually quite similar, consisting of various compiled gossip, folk tales, ghost stories, and erotic novels.

Makoto Takahashi just flips through the pages to pass the time.

After casually glancing through a few pages, Makoto Takahashi's gaze was suddenly drawn to one of the stories.

This story is called 'Miss Okinawa'.

The story goes that there was a girl named Miku Ohashi who fell in love with a local soldier stationed near a US military base, but he eventually abandoned her and returned to the United States.

Miku Ohashi eventually chased him all the way to the United States alone, only to discover that he already had a wife and that he was just having a fling. Fortunately, at this time, his wife was diagnosed with infertility, and Miku Ohashi was pregnant with the soldier's child...

It was a simple little story, yet it left Makoto Takahashi's blood pumping. The reason? Simply because the story was so thrilling!
Even the instructions for making the train bento are clearly written. After Ohashi Miku chases him to the United States, there is even a story of her loving and admiring him. Such a taboo story almost made Takahashi Makoto faint.

It is really.

So exciting.

"Damn, how can Americans be so wicked!"

After reading it, Makoto Takahashi couldn't help but curse.

Although he knew it was just a erotic novel, he couldn't help but think about it.

because.

The Americans really do have a naval base there!
Moreover, Makoto Takahashi had seen the news not long ago.

"I wonder how many girls like that are left over there."

As Takahashi Makoto was thinking, he turned around and found several people lying on the ground behind him. Startled, Takahashi Makoto's hand trembled, and he threw a punch, knocking down the nearest reader and leaving the man with a black eye.

"Hey, stop hitting me, bro! I was wrong! Can I look at that magazine again for a little while? I can pay you!"

……

……

After getting off the train and arriving at his hotel, Makoto Takahashi first washed away his fatigue before finally having the chance to lie on the soft bed and watch TV.

During the interview, Akira Furuya spoke eloquently on the television program.

“I don’t understand what happened, that such inhumane things happened and no one dares to speak out. My good friend, Mr. Tetsuo Kinjo, is a native of Okinawa, and he once told me about the atrocities committed by the local garrison.”

"Are we to keep having troops from other countries stationed on our land forever?"

"We must not succumb to foreign pressure!"

"We, the Japanese people, were also victims in this war!"

Makoto Takahashi straightened up.

That's right!
Now you can see foreigners even on the streets of Tokyo, and sometimes Makoto Takahashi can't help but shout it out.

What the hell is wrong with this country?!
As a typical Japanese man, Makoto Takahashi actually longs for the kind of life that existed in the Edo period. Ideally, there would never be any foreigners. If foreigners came to Japan, they could simply drop off their travel money and then obediently go back home. That kind of life would be the best.

But now, he sees blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners on the street!
In contrast, Makoto Takahashi didn't seem to care much about another matter in the newspaper.

What do elementary school textbooks have to do with him? He hasn't attended elementary school for many years.

Whether to change it or not, Makoto Takahashi doesn't care.

In contrast, he was more supportive of this view.

Ideally, all troops stationed in Japan should be removed from Japanese soil!
……

……

It was published, of course, in both news articles and newspapers.

However, just a few days later, all the news releases were halted and withdrawn.

Gu Ming knew the reason better than anyone else.

The US military stationed in Japan will not withdraw its troops just because a celebrity said a few words. A simpler way than to withdraw troops is to retract the news and make people stop paying attention to the matter.

However, Gu Ming certainly didn't care about these things. In fact, once some words are spoken, they will spread like wildfire, and no one can stop people from talking about them.

Gu Ming, all you need to do is move the accelerant to a different place to burn.

Anyway, it's the same whether you light a fire over there or over here. Lighting a fire here is more controllable, which is much better than leaving it on the other side and causing an uncontrollable mess!
