Former Elite Religion 2nd Generation Dialogue! Hidekazu Nagai and Hiroshi “I don’t like this kind of guru!

Hiroshi: Kofuku-no-Sekkai is also very harsh to its “enemies. My mother’s first wife, Kyoko (57), who had been praised as “Aphrodite, the incarnation of beauty,” was called “Judas the Betrayer” after her divorce. Incidentally, Happy Science is currently experiencing an unprecedented boom in yokai. In March, Ryuho published a book titled “Words to Avoid Becoming a Specter,” and I hear that every member of the Okawa family has been turned into a specter. I have received a suspicious information from …… that the eldest daughter, Sayaka, who had been considered a reincarnation of “Amaterasu,” has been changed to “Yokai Otafuku,” the third son, Yuta, to “Inari-sama no Kitsune,” and even Shimizu Tomika (Sengan Miko, 28) has been changed to “Yokai Okame” (see the following page). (The public relations office of the Happy Science Group denies such a fact.)

Nagai: Okame is a yokai? (laugh).　It looks like natto (fermented soybeans). Is this Ryuho-chan’s sense of naming and character?

Hiroshi It is from Gegege no Ryuho.

Nagai: What about the academic side of the Okawa family’s five children?

Hiroshi : Yuta is the top student at the University of Tokyo’s Faculty of Law. He was considered a promising successor to Ryuho, but his reputation was downgraded due to …… women’s issues. Happy Science University is also not approved as a university by the Ministry of Education.

Nagai: I am a first generation Soka Elementary School student who was purely cultured until university, but Soka’s doctrine and history were not subjects. Even in politics, I see the reality that “you can’t start unless you get a seat in the Diet. To begin with, Dr. Daisaku’s predecessor, Josei Toda, was a businessman. He was a super charismatic cram school teacher, a best-selling author, and an investor. There is an untrue episode in which he received a low-interest loan from a rich believer of Soka and lent it to a poor believer at a high interest rate. ……(laugh)

(laughs) .

Nagai: Mr. Toda was acquainted with former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi, and in fact, Soka had a connection with the LDP political world even before the war. The idea was that both religion and business would do well only if they entered the world of politics. This is different from the place where people start saying things like, “What’s wrong with youkai” (laughs).

Hiroshi Ryuho would go ahead with his ideas. That’s why he ran a large number of candidates for the House of Representatives in the 2009 election and all of them failed.

Nagai: Komeito’s strategy is to run candidates only in areas where they can win. They are very good at reading votes by using their organizational power. It is said that they have a 99% chance of winning. I really hope that Mr. Daisaku will write a book entitled “The Money-Collecting Revolution” or “The Vote-Collecting Revolution. Soka’s finances – the donations to the religious organization – are usually made between November and December, but as long as Komeito is in the ruling party, they don’t hold national elections during this period. They don’t let us do it. For the sake of their followers, they don’t combine the timing of vote collection and fundraising.
