Behind the Johnny’s Collapse Riots…] The Identity and Brilliant Background of the “Hidden Father of Johnny’s” Now Revealed
Akio Nakamori, Johnny's Theory of Desire Chapter 5: Yukio Mishima and Johnny's (1)
The Question of “Lack of Paternity
It was in May of last year that Keiko Fujishima Julie, president of the former Johnny’s office, suddenly released a video apologizing for her actions.
I likened its impact to the “Showa Emperor’s Declaration of Humanity. In response, writer Genichiro Takahashi likened it to the “Gyokuon-broadcasting of the defeat in the Pacific War.
In any case, I viewed the Johnny’s family as an inviolable entity equal to the prewar imperial family. The founding siblings, Janney and Mary Kitagawa, and their successor, Keiko Fujishima Julie, were unknown to us, and we had never heard their voices or seen them in action.
Here is what we realized.
There are three women: Mary Kitagawa, her daughter Julie Keiko, and Iijima Michi ……, who was SMAP’s talented manager.
Thus, Janie Kitagawa was a lifelong bachelor and never had children. He was accused after his death as a homosexual who committed sexual assault against boys.
In other words, three women and one gay …… there is no “father”. Motherhood may exist in Johnny’s, but “fatherhood” is definitely lacking.
No, but is it really so?
Keiko Julie, daughter of Mary Kitagawa and niece of Janie Kitagawa, became the successor.
Then, what is that family name, “Fujishima”?
Mary’s husband–
Taisuke Fujishima.
Yes, he is Keiko Julie’s father.
It turns out that Taisuke Fujishima is, in fact, the hidden “father” of Johnny’s!
In all of the Johnny’s issues that have rocked Japan since last year, for some reason, Taisuke Fujishima was not reported at all. It is a very strange story. It is a very strange story.
Isn’t this the missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is the inexplicable mystery of the Johnny’s issue?
We must now reveal the identity of this hidden “father.
Connection to “His Majesty the Emperor
Taisuke Fujishima was born in Tokyo in 1933. He was the eldest son of Toshio Fujishima, an auditor of the Bank of Japan. After graduating from college, he joined the Tokyo Shimbun and became a reporter in the society department.
It is interesting to note that the senior reporter of the Tokyo Shimbun’s Social Affairs Department, Kinshoko Mochizuki, who became an NG reporter after her controversial “eat my sausage” comment to Noriyuki Higashiyama at last year’s Johnny’s press conference, was the father of President Keiko Julie.
In his second year with the newspaper (1956), Fujishima published a novel as a rookie reporter.
It was titled “Solitary Man.
When I opened the door to it–
[With Sincere Respect and Friendship
I dedicate this book to my classmate
I dedicate it to His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince.
What a surprise! Fujishima attended Gakushuin from elementary school to university. He was a classmate of the then Crown Prince, or the former Emperor, and the current Emperor, since his childhood.
Even His Majesty the Emperor may watch TV. Last year, videos of Keiko Julie apologizing and press conferences were widely broadcast on news programs. When His Majesty the Emperor saw them, he must have thought, “Oh, it’s my classmate Fujishima’s daughter ……. It was very moving.
The Solitary Man” is a coming-of-age story set in the Gakushuin High School. The young Crown Prince himself appears in it. It was, so to speak, a model novel.
The catchiness of the subject matter caused a sensation, and it was the subject of a major feature in a weekly magazine and was taken up by the Diet. It quickly became a bestseller.
The following year (1957), the book was made into a movie directed by Katsumi Nishikawa. The film was also made into a movie the following year (1957), directed by Katsumi Nishikawa and starring a young Masahiko Tsugawa and Asahi Kobayashi as high school students at Gakushuin High School.
Shintaro Ishihara, who was in the same grade as Fujishima, won the Akutagawa Prize the previous year for “Season of the Sun,” which was also made into a movie and triggered the Taiyo-zoku boom. Fujishima and Ishihara became friends. Ishihara later wrote the lyrics to the first Johnny’s song (“Flame Curve”). When Ishihara entered politics (1968), Fujishima became his campaign strategist. Both were conservatives (Liberal Democratic Party), and became hawkish debaters.
An unexpected meeting place: ……!
There is an article in the September 22, 1974 issue of the women’s weekly magazine “Smile.
<Urgent interview: A direct visit to Taisuke Fujishima, a writer who remarried Hiromi Go’s foster father! >The headline reads.
The headline reads, “Urgent Interview with Taisuke Fujishima, the writer who remarried the parents who raised Hiromi Go.
Hiromi Go’s foster parent is Mary Kitagawa, 41.
Around 1960, Mary opened the late-night snack bar “Spot” in Yotsuya. She met Fujishima, who was “the same age” as her, as a customer there.
(Actually, the statements “41 years old” and “the same age” in this article are incorrect; “47 years old” and “6 years younger” are correct. It appears that Merry was misrepresenting her age as six years younger.)
Their child, Keiko, was born in July 1966. The problem here is that at that time, Fujishima had another wife (who was the granddaughter of the great writer, Kyoko Takahama!) ).
In other words, Keiko was born out of wedlock, the child of an adulterous woman, so to speak. Mary did not inform the people around her of the existence of her daughter, making her an “illegitimate” child.
According to an earlier article, Fujishima divorced his ex-wife in 1972 and moved in with Mary and their daughter Keiko in 1973. This is a short-lived marriage after adultery and childbirth.
No, in the same article, Fujishima reveals, “Even though we are remarried, we have not yet entered into a marriage contract. Keiko was eight years old at the time (the previous year, at the age of six, she had made her debut in show business by appearing in the musical “Look Up at the Stars at Night” starring the Four Leaves under the stage name “Fujishima Julie”).
Contact” with Yukio Mishima
Taisuke Fujishima had already quit his job as a reporter and become a successful writer. He had deep ties to the political and business world, and ran (unsuccessfully) in the 1977 House of Councillors election for a national constituency as an official candidate of the Liberal Democratic Party.
It was in 1975 that Johnny’s, which had been under the umbrella of Watanabe Productions, was incorporated and became independent. Was there any pressure from Watanabe Productions, then known as the “Nabepro Empire” (Takenaka Labor)?
The first chairman of the Ondo Jikyo, an industry pressure group established at the behest of Susumu Watanabe, president of NABEPRO, was Yasuhiro Nakasone of the Liberal Democratic Party. Fujishima was Nakasone’s brain (advisor). Johnny’s is not a member of the Sound Jikyo. Could it be that the independence from Watanabe Productions and still avoiding industry pressure was due to the behind-the-scenes power games played by the interaction between Yasuhiro Nakasone, the first head of the Ondo Jikai, and Taisuke Fujishima?
Also, according to one theory, Fujishima helped Johnny’s, which was still a weak professional, with a considerable amount of financial support.
However, although he is the author of a vast number of books, I have been unable to find any text describing this situation or his connection with Johnny’s.
This is the reason why Taisuke Fujishima is the “hidden father” of Johnny’s.
The novel “The Loneliest Man” was Fujishima’s first book. The small circle of boys infested with homosexuality is reminiscent of the later Johnny’s. Homosexuality and the emperor. There was a writer on this subject. Fujishima’s senior at Gakushuin, who wrote the foreword to “The Solitary Man”.
–The author is Yukio Mishima.
In the next article, “The Unknown Connection between SMAP and the ‘Hidden Father’ Who Built Johnny’s Kingdom,” we will discuss the surprising connection between Taisuke Fujishima and SMAP.
