Chapter 9
"In Japan, "mama's affection" failed."

Yuyama: There was a junior high school reunion. It's been done frequently since last year, and it's already complete in "Bungei Shunju" "Classmate exchange"(*1) I'm surprised that I've reached the age of (laughs). When I arrived at the venue after a while and looked at everyone from a distance, I was surprised to find that there were lots of ossans, and I wondered if I had made a mistake in the venue. Well, it might be natural because I was about 50, but it's a terrible Ossan (laughs). Since it was Saturday's daytime, I was thinking that I would come in plain clothes, everyone looks like a suit. I'm tired of black and gray. I wonder what the Japanese man feels like.

Sakamoto: I stay in Roppongi during my stay in Japan, so I sometimes observe people around the area, but I'm over 60 years old. Baby boom generation(*2) The old man is wearing a cloak or something like "I can retire, and finally, I can wear what I like." Wear a hat, a cane, and even round glasses. I wonder if there is no such feeling in men of Yuyama generation. That's so nasty!

Yuyama: Baby booms are fashionable! But, All-out fight(*3) After that, the men of our generation ... (bitter smile). Analyzing, my middle school is a municipality Shinken seminar(※Four) It seems that the school is proud to be the best in Japan, and its classmates are now the elite of renowned doctors and trading companies. The advent of the so-called "examination mom" has been around since our generation, and their mothers have really triangular eyes. I was the one who couldn't keep my eyes on me and yelled at me. I've been a fan of buzzwords since then, and when I used to say "Yavee," the educational mom protested with a sword blade, "Isn't it okay for a girl to use such a dirty word?" See you.

Sakamoto: That mother's son is now the director of surgery. The moms are about 75 or 80 years old.

Yuyama: It is the 1st and 2nd digit Showa generation. That's why, as an educational mom, she has accomplished her mission brilliantly. Then, the sons were coming to the alumni association, but among such elites, there is a man who is unmarried. I tried to talk a little bit, but somehow, for women Literacy(※Five) Is so low that my mom's face flicker.

Sakamoto: I wonder if the man who couldn't get married couldn't start at that time. Actually, it may have been so long ago. My head may be good, but in a broad sense, it has a low cultural degree, or because it has no fashion sense, it does not appeal to women ...

Yuyama: Another fatal thing is that I can't communicate with women. It's like having a girl catch yourself. There are many complaints about women, though they say that women are energetic and envious. "Fear of a woman" was visible and hidden at every end of the word.

Sakamoto: That might be bad for mom.

Yuyama: I think my mom still reigns over his 50-year-old son. The "other woman" will never give such affection as an alternative to "the energy of love" of the mother taking the exam.

Sakamoto: "Do not get close". Yeah, it's my mom's influence that Japanese boys are about to become extinct.

Yuyama: In the case of a girl, her mother and her daughter repel each other, so she can relatively escape from her mother's spell. Recently, there are many dangerous cases. Furthermore, the relationship between mother and son is entangled in a spell called love, and it also involves erosive nuances, which is especially dangerous in Japan.

Sakamoto: The son of that generation is now about twenty years old. On the contrary, the young boys nowadays are like mothers' pets. That's why she may not be lustful for women.

Yuyama:Shigeru Kashima(*6) Says in the book "Daughter boy"(*7) Do you know The boys and girls who can let their children mix with each other without any discomfort are the most popular right now. Herbivorous boys(*8) It is almost the same as the word sense. As a man, who can't play well with girls, he said he's going to have to work hard. Applying it to politicians is interesting, for example Shintaro Ishihara(*9) When Yasuo Tanaka(※Ten) If so, Ishihara will never do housekeeping, but if Yasuo-chan seems to do it, it can be used for one judgment. of course, Hatoyama(*11) I will do it, Mrs. Yukio(*12) There is a condition that it is a partition (laugh). Mr. Sakamoto seems to be a family of children (laughs).

Sakamoto: I see, there might be it. In my opinion, when I was in college, when I went to visit a girl's friend's house, I was given makeup. I also enjoyed it quite a bit, and I was going out to borrow a girl's skirt, saying, "I'm wasteful, so let's go outside."

Yuyama: Mr. Sakamoto, who was a beautiful adolescent, was the one who played Moe Dokoro as a BL fan! That means you have experience as a woman (laughs).

Sakamoto: There is no! "Woman dressing up"(※13) Instead, it's a man who dresses as a woman (laughs) In the 80s Gaultier(※14) Was putting on a men's skirt and wearing that one at a concert. Even though it wasn't at a concert, I wore it on a regular basis, and I also carried a make-up box with me, so it was my own (laugh).

Yuyama: Women's magazine "Croissant Premium"(*15) There was a plan like "Give something to someone", and without hesitation, I set it to "Give Sakamoto a corset as a gift", but it was right! But the corset was a great experience for me. In Harajuku corset(*16) There are shops that specialize in, and there are corsets for fat people. If you squeeze it tightly, the waist will be beautifully finished. If you do that, you'll be laughing (laughs). Somehow, your personality will change.

Sakamoto: The corset is a polar costume for women. A man changes his personality when he wears a skirt or makes makeup. It's amazing because women do it every day.

Yuyama: However, I am not a herbivorous boy, but I accept that it is like a boy because of the current social situation, but on the other hand, the original instinct as a man and the cultural frontier-oriented culture are suppressed. So where do you put them together? I wonder.
