The following is from Masayuki Takayama's serialized column that marks the end of Weekly Shincho, which was released today.
This article also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
A long time ago, an elderly female professor of the Royal Ballet School of Monaco, highly respected by prima ballerinas worldwide, visited Japan.
At that time, she spoke about the significance of an artist's existence.
She said, "Artists are important because they are the only ones who can shed light on hidden, concealed truths and express them."
No one would dispute her words.
It is no exaggeration to say that Masayuki Takayama is not only the one and only journalist in the postwar world but also the one and only artist in the postwar world.
On the other hand, Oe, I don't want to speak ill of the deceased, but (to follow Masayuki Takayama's example below), Murakami and many others who call themselves writers or think of themselves as artists are not even worthy of the name of artists.
They have only expressed the lies the Asahi Shimbun and others created rather than shedding light on hidden truths and telling them.
Their existence is not limited to Japan but is the same in other countries worldwide.
In other words, there are only a few true artists.
This paper is another excellent proof that I am right when I say that no one in the world today deserves the Nobel Prize in Literature more than Masayuki Takayama.
It is a must-read not only for the people of Japan but for people all over the world.
The Elements of False Accusation
In July 1949, during the U.S. military occupation of Japan, Sadanori Shimoyama, the president of Japan National Railways, disappeared and was found cut in two under train wheels near Ayase Station the following day.
He was said to have been quite distressed by the GHQ's demand for mass layoffs of Japan National Railways employees.
There is also the testimony of Nakai at the inn where he had temporarily stayed the night before.
It was thought that he committed suicide as a result.
However, it was the president of Japan National Railways who died.
It asked Professor Tanemoto Furuhata of the University of Tokyo's Department of Forensic Medicine, an authority, to perform an autopsy.
It thought a routine autopsy would suffice, but this authority needed to learn the crime scene.
The train would have dismembered the body, but strangely enough, there would have been little blood loss.
As a novice reporter, I was often sent to the scene of committing suicide by jumping in front of the train.
The area along Senba Lake under Kairakuen Garden in Mito on the Joban Line is a famous place for suicide jumps, but I had never seen a pool of blood even though I saw two dead bodies cut in two under train wheels. When cutting in two under-train wheels, corpses do not bleed much.
However, Furuhata, who did not know the scene, did not know that.
After tilting his head, he concluded that the postmortem examination results showed a postmortem cutting in two under-train wheels.
In other words, the president of the Japanese National Railways was killed by someone who drained his blood and threw him into a running freight train.
Someone should have laughed at that.
The shame was short-lived.
But everyone was silent until the idiot Asahi Shimbun seriously wrote that the U.S. military had drained his blood.
Thus began Furuhata's rampage.
In the murder of the wife of a professor at Hirosaki University that immediately followed the Shimoyama Incident, he identified the stain on the shirt of Takashi, a descendant of Nasu Yoichi, as human blood, making him the real murderer.
Since then, complex cases such as the Zaitagawa case, in which a moneylender was killed in Shikoku, the Matsuyama case in Miyagi, and the murder of a young girl in Shizuoka were solved one after another based on the Furuhata testimony, and all of them resulted in death sentences.
Even though the situation was impossible, prosecutors and judges followed the authority of the University of Tokyo.
Then, in 1971, 20 years later, the "Hirosaki University professor's wife was murdered.
A certain Takitani came forward and said, "I killed the wife of the Hirosaki University professor.
Impressed by Yukio Mishima's death-defying appeal, Takitani decided to do the right thing for once in his life and confess.
The police confirmed that Takitani was the real culprit.
Takashi Nasu was utterly innocent.
A request for a retrial was immediately filed, but the Sendai High Court rejected the application for some reason.
The following year, Tanemoto Furuhata died.
It meant that even if there were a retrial, the authority of the University of Tokyo would no longer stand on the witness stand and be humiliated.
The high court immediately began the retrial and found Nasu innocent.
It was followed by the retrial of Taniguchi Shigeyoshi and others in the Zaitagawa case, in which the Furuhata testimony was the deciding factor.
The Furuhata opinion was overturned, and Taniguchi and three others were released from death row.
The authority of the University of Tokyo fell, and it was decided that the University of Tokyo and Keio University would take turns providing expert testimony.
The Asahi, which had supported Furuhata in the Shimoyama case, had lost face, but this was a cunning newspaper.
In a complete turnaround, they now claim that "everything is a false accusation."
Etsuo Ono, who killed ten female office workers in the Tokyo metropolitan area, was also acquitted by Asahi's persistent insistence, and the human-rights advocate Shinichi Tateyama, the chief judge, let him off scot-free.
Ono received substantial state compensation and killed another woman as soon as he got out of prison.
The campaign of false accusations spread, and in the case of the burning to death of a sixth-grade girl in Osaka, the defense demanded a retrial based on the theory that gasoline leaked from a Honda light truck.
The girl had been raped by her stepfather, who had also taken out life insurance on her.
It looked like a case of insurance money murder, but it was acquitted thanks to the false accusation boom.
Any nefarious person could be falsely accused and acquitted if the case was made out.
Asahi has led the way and is now focusing on the retrial of the Hakamada case, which involved the murder of four family members.
When the retrial was decided the other day, the paper's tone was as if "retrial equals proof of innocence.
The Shizuoka District Public Prosecutor's Office then said, "In the retrial, we will re-establish Hakamada's guilt.
A retrial is never proof of innocence.
The retrial will not prove Hakamada's innocence because all the past false convictions were due to Tanemoto Furuhata, but Furuhata is gone.
Asahi always sides with the idiots and makes people unhappy.
It is an excellent opportunity to make them realize that.
