After a simple lunch, Masayoshi Kishimoto and Kyoko Fukada sat back in front of the computer in another room. They logged in and entered the virtual beautiful world of the online game "Paradise" to play.

Fukada Kyoko didn't think much about it in the game: "My ideal since childhood was to be a star. Is your original ideal necessary to be a chaebol?"

"Wrong. My initial ideal was to be completely satisfied with drinking Coke, eating instant noodles, and playing online games." Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously.

Fukada Kyoko was stunned. In her thinking world, anyone who has great achievements will have great ambitions when she was a child.

After Fukada Kyoko came back to her senses, she blurted out without believing it at all: "You must be lying to others."

Masayoshi Kishimoto left the keyboard and mouse with both hands, looked at her carefully and said, "I guaranteed my personality and I definitely didn't lie to you."

Fukada Kyoko said with interest: "Did you suddenly start to awaken one day? You feel that such a negative and decadent life is not good?

So you take the initiative and start working hard, which is why you have a place in the Japanese financial world today."

Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you think this is a youthful inspirational idol TV series you play? A male protagonist with a humble social status fell in love with a cute girl of high school in society, so he changed his past for her and worked hard to move forward.

In the final finale, although the male protagonist had setbacks, he still succeeded. He was able to be with the female protagonist with justification."

Of course, Kyoko Fukada understood that the contents of idol dramas were all beautified and idealized, and it was really not true. She asked in detail: "What about that?"

"Anyone has the freedom to choose a lifestyle that suits and likes. Eating instant noodles, drinking coke, and playing games is rubbish?

Only the only way to work hard like being fed with chicken blood is the right way? Don’t think about it carefully if it was completely deceived by the propaganda of the ruling class?

How many of them died of overwork for this? Everyone died, no matter how great the ideal is, it is 0. Why should you live with Versace? Actually, I think wearing Uniqlo is also good!

Dazai Osamu also has the most classic saying in "The Disqualification of the World": I'm sorry for being born as a human being. His negativity and decadence are pushed to the extreme.

It was this extreme that established his position as one of the three major Japanese writers after World War II. Without him, no one would have known this cruel beauty.

In today's Japanese culture, tracing the roots should be the foundation of the Yamato nation's "The Tale of Genji" by Zishibu.

Even if you look at the good works written by Dazai Osamu from today's perspective, they are still a bit out of date. I am also one of Dazai Osamu's fans!

What's more, the Yamato nation is a nation that is prone to going from one extreme to another. The Meiji Restoration was a ruthless person at the beginning and completely denied everything that Japan originally had.

Later, it was also the current Japanese culture in aesthetics. A Westerner was actively running around in Japan and calling for help... It was only when the Japanese realized that the things in their past were not all dregs. So, those with aspirations began to save their nation's culture." Masayoshi Kishimoto talked freely.

"You are not fooling me, are you?" Fukada Kyoko stared at him with suspicious eyes, still unable to believe what the other party said.

"What am I fooling you?" Kishimoto Masayoshi couldn't understand.

"Your purpose of self-deprecation is to make me have a bad negative impact on you in my heart, and then gradually give up on you." Fukada Kyoko said bluntly.

"Where is this and there?" Kishimoto Masayoshi had long experienced women's rich association abilities. They were able to connect things that were completely indisputable. He just shook his head helplessly.

"Is it? You know the most in your heart." Fukada Kyoko said with a cute look that pretended to be angry.

"Let's continue playing games!" Kishimoto Masayoshi knew that once a woman got into trouble, she would only suffer a loss.

"No. I also want to hear you talk about some things about Japanese culture." Fukada Kyoko blurted out.

"What's there to say about this? Let's continue playing games." Masayoshi Kishimoto wanted to change the topic.

Fukada Kyoko repeated very persistently: "Tell me, speak, speak."

"I'm afraid of you. I'll just say it. Many foreigners have been living in Japan for decades and still find it difficult to understand the true thoughts of the Japanese, because the Yamato nation is an extremely restrained and uneasy nation.

In addition, the Japanese are very xenophobic, which further strengthens this psychology. If a foreigner wants to truly understand the reality of the Japanese, it is not a youth idol drama.

If you have to watch a movie, it is the "Yashan Festival Examination" which won the Palme d'Or at the 36th Cannes Film Festival. It is directed by Masahei Imamura and released in Japan in 1983.

Although he is not very famous in the public's mind, I think this director is quite tasteful. In your circle, he must be a well-known figure." Kishimoto Masayoshi said in an orderly manner.

"I have also read "The Examination of the Yama Festival" directed by Masahei Imamura. It's really cruel. However, it's really true.

What are the choices in a poor mountain village with long-term food shortage? This is the best choice to make without having to choose." Fukada Kyoko said seriously.

"Girls will be taken out to sell when they are born at a age. Their fate is nothing more than becoming prostitutes. If you think this is cruel, then compared with the boys born, they are in heaven.

If the baby boy is born, he will usually be thrown into the field as fertilizer. If the elderly still die at the age of 70, they will be carried out by their children and sent out of the village to the mountains to wait for death. The name is to worship the mountain god." Kishimoto Masayoshi briefly explained the general content of the movie "The Legend of the Mountain Festival".

He paused for a moment when he said this, and then said: "A preliminary understanding of the true literary works of the Japanese, as well as "Shadow Praise" by Junichiro Tanizaki.

This is a work that focuses on writing about buildings, which also reflects some of the Japanese's personalities and inner world.

Wanzaki Junichiro is not very famous abroad, and is not as good as Haruki Murakami, Junichi Watanabe, Keigo Higashino, but he is quite famous in Japan.

Of course, his works have a much higher status in the minds of literary youth, literary enthusiasts, literary critics, etc. than the other three.

Otherwise, there would not be a Tanizaki Junichiro Literature Award. Although the reputation of this Literature Award is much smaller than that of the Akutagawa Award, it is a literary award representing the backbone Japanese writers.

Haruki Murakami was able to really emerge because he won the award. It was not because his works were shortlisted for the Akutagawa Prize twice. Among them, there are many writers who failed the Akutagawa Prize for as many as five or six times."
