Chapter 14
"It's not just Leon Oyaji that makes Japan Italian"

Yuyama: J-POP and current Japanese movies are the best, but Japan is "Crying"(*1) I like Anyway, the younger generation is crying (laughs).

Sakamoto: That's right. But that's because my mother's affection is there, so I cry. But in places like LA or Texas, where there's a breeze in the air, there aren't many. That "Mother culture"(*2) That means Japan and Italy are strong. Well, so may Korea. This is strong.

Yuyama: A man is a kind of self-reliance "Mother killing"(*3) It's something I do in my mind when I grow up or become an adult, but I wonder if I'm not doing it.

Sakamoto:When I was in Italy on a tour(※Four), I was reading a book about Italy, but in the old days I couldn't get a divorce because of the strong influence of Catholicism, but lately it's getting looser and more people are breaking up. In other words, more and more men are getting divorced in their 40s and 50s. So what do you do when you get divorced? You go home and live with your mom. Well, Women live longer(※Five) Dashi. And my mom will do all the work.

Yuyama: Even in Japan, I know some of them.

Sakamoto: further Children who do not leave their parents' homes when they are 18 years old(*6) Isn't it mainstream? Japanese society is becoming that way, so the point is that Japan has become "Italy" (laughs).

Yuyama: Love "Leon Old Man"(*7) On the other hand, the Troika system of Italianization that the mother cannot be separated.

Sakamoto: The first generation to withdraw is already in the late 40s. I am still muddy, and my parents say "○-chan" when they are in their 70s and they bring their food, but their parents will die soon. Then, I will lose my pension, what should I do? Talk about. In the future, the number of such cases will increase with tremendous momentum, in Japan.

Yuyama: Will those people go wild?

Sakamoto: Will it be raging or will you suddenly leave the park? do not know. Will it become a country with a lot of crime?

Yuyama: Or rather, the government should seriously consider the centers and facilities for their independence help from now on. Not to let their energy, which should be adults, go to the negative spiral.

Sakamoto: The guy who had been staying with his mother for a long time, when he didn't know what to do when the asylum disappeared with a pawn, he would suddenly shoot indiscriminately with Bang Bang, such things will increase in the future. ..

Yuyama: While Japanese people develop the atmosphere of reading in close relationships, they don't pay much attention to the relationships themselves. The company protects its employees, because it's a couple, of course, and I've been doing so far. But now that's getting difficult, it's an era when you have to consciously create relationships, right? Safety net(*8) But because of that, I have to be aware of it on a daily basis.

Sakamoto: I think Japan is over-protected. New Year's "Dispatch Village"(*9) That was right. People taking care of them are being interviewed, and they are all looking really good. Wear sneakers and a down jacket. There is no such person in a poor country. When I was wondering what I would answer, I was watching, "I am happy that Tokyo will do it, but I have to come out in two weeks, I do not know what will happen after that. I do not know what I can do after that I'm worried about that." I'm saying what the unemployment rate is, but nobody is sleeping in the street and icing. Such a country is not necessarily poor. I think this country is really overprotected. impossible. I don't know, why did it look like this?

Yuyama: It's been a while since I went to Los Angeles at the end of the year, but Americans use energy for human relationships. Isn't it really sweet? From the other side, I started to introduce myself as "Hi!", and then talked to me, "I had a Japanese student in a classmate at the university, and he was smart."

Sakamoto: It's very social, or it's overly amiable.

Yuyama: First of all, on the premise that you can't understand other people, first of all, you're going to do a communication jab "I'm not an enemy".

Sakamoto: That's true. I think that it is a substitute for a kind of gun, it is an advanced gun. The shiny teeth and smile are actually guns. In the western and southern parts of the United States, there is still a culture that people who do not know will shoot, but as it is not possible, I say "Hi" and talk to Bar. That's what it is. Great spiritual Pathology(※Ten) I suppose it came from. That's what I always think about.

Yuyama: That's how you confirm "others." But, I think it's not bad now because it's related to making that distance in conversation. When I return to Japan, the frustration is that people don't know what they think on the top of the Buddha. Even though there is no premise of good old human relationships that can be understood even if it is silent as in the past.

Sakamoto: It's the exact opposite, like Yin and Yang. In short, it is a fatal flaw in the Japanese people that they can't logically tell people that they want to do it or think that they do. I think people should understand. But in such countries, such people are rare in the world.

Yuyama: So, the moment you think it's different, you'll be killed immediately.

Sakamoto: When I'm watching Japanese TV, I heard that young people's Japanese is very bad, but I think the middle-aged and senior Japanese is bad. I don't even have any grammar. I haven't written. There is no end to give an example, but "It was a great tornado" was "It was a very tornado." It's a mess. That's the case with old people who are pretty good.

Yuyama: I "Alone sushi"(*11) I'm a practitioner, but that is Spartan's self-discipline in that sense. That's about it, and I experienced the lonely feeling of loneliness called “call me,” by spending money to improve my communication skills (laughs). The problem is that in a small community where everyone's faces and identities are well understood, only "air" flows, not communication.
