The longing for the West since the Meiji Restoration is still going on.
But it's about time,
I know it's not Otani, but "Let's stop yearning for the ・・・!"
Women and men,
Imitating Westerners is still not cool.
You can't suddenly become eight-headed or blue-eyed.
Japanese women with short legs and gusseted feet do not look good in G-pants either.
Western fashions are only suitable for Westerners who look like birds of prey.
In Japan, even grandmothers dye their hair purple or green.
These days, even university associate professors wear their hair brown.
It is embarrassing to see their hair turn black at the roots when it grows long.
I still think a kimono looks best on the Japanese body shape.
But it's not easy to go to work in haori hakama,
It is convenient for activities in modern society,
Is there any way to create a fashion that is convenient for modern society, yet still Japanese?
We no longer need designers who cleverly copy Western fashion.
Westernization and admiration for the West is not limited to clothing fashion.
In the case of music, no matter how hard Eikichi Yazawa tries in rock music, he cannot match Michael Jackson,
Jazz, heavy metal, hip-hop, and so on,
Even if they try to imitate or devise new ways of doing things, they still can't compete with Westerners.
The stage names of celebrities....
What are Mitz Mangrove and Yusuke Santamaria?
Is Misha or Lily Franky Japanese?
Rooted in the great traditions of Japan,
Japanese original fashion, music, entertainment, etc., rooted in the great traditions of Japan. Come on out!
Let's stop "aspiring" to the West already!
