Am I Japanese if I instinctively take my shoes off when entering my house?

I don't feel like I relate to my American family at all, either. I think I'm actually a nihonjin who was accidentally born in a gaijin's body…..

Theres a techniques many ascribed to this "acting industry".
Question: how can ウィル・スミス flow a namida, for this movies? When its not real?

Its a method actor?

Indeed, its this abilities for, thinking of a sad memory. Its provocation of a namida.
Therefore, in a real life situation, you can even cry. And crying, and crying. Even its not a serious emotion. However, underlying, its a feelio.

Behind this example, its a reason.
In 2009 some acting agency contact me to seek my skills. Actually I appeared a few time in some Shakespeare production as its a favour to my sensei. My role, its appearance as the ghost King HELLmlet.

生か死か?

This agency viewed my performance and its find this very moving emotions. They even believe, its a Hollywood future ???????

One of this first jobs I took as a new actor, involved many bitch tear.
However, of course I have no experience with such disgraceful practice.

Until some day, I discover the very true key into this door of crying a namida river, is within your heart this entire time. Its closer to home, than many even had understanding.

And so, its this final stage production of a MOST intricate dreamlike days play of a mother-son reunion after many year separation. OF course, I am this son.

Even in many time of practises, its a very """hit and miss""" if this namida is an authenticity.
WE have many of a rehearsal, however its this same result. "We must play it by ear!!!" says this director. OK.

If this woman reacts in such this way in a REAL LIFE, I will immediately think "Please unhand me witch, if you believe I'm going to beta orbit you now you're finished riding the cock carousel you're quite mistaken". However, thats why its called an ACTING. In this acting, you must forget this real reactions, and transformation for another person.

As we stand on stage in this embrace, its a serious pressure did build up.

Stage-mother tenses her grip on me....

「あなたの腕の中で旅をする」
Spotlight turns.....brighter? Imagination or...????

「Oh milky smile抱きしめてやわらかなその愛で」
In this moment, clarity grip my entire existence. Memory of all time flood back like a thundering waterfall.

At this moment, I drop to my knees. The namida drops to the floor.

Stage-mother senses this change in me. I can tell, this "real life" woman, even not in an actor, is very surprise at my reaction.

But its not a surprise.
For, these words flooding into my mind, its none other than the beautiful lyrics of Matsuda Seiko's 1980 hit song 風は秋色.

At this moment, my emotion is override.
My desire to live and breathe in this Showa era of a most romantic reverie.
The vision dancing in my mind.
The rising sun.
The emperor.
Many past life memory pass by. Entire lifetimes in a blink of an eyes.
I collapse onto my back. My vision is flashing with visions of Seiko, with vision of Yamaguchi Momoe, with vision of Okada Yukiko (heaven got you now...)
I finally understand this universe, its laws and its limits, I see everything in its right place, and I know where I was in my past lifes.

In this hazy state of a most beautiful daydream, I begin to finish off the song. Even, its singing is not my talent, its so overcoming in this emotion. Sudden, my co-actor is react to my whimsical chanting.

「忘れるために訪れた海辺の待ち」
"What the fuck? Is he okay? Get the fucking curtains down Jesus Christ"

「ちぎれた愛が 指に髪に離れない。。。」
"Hurt your head buddy? Get some water! Fuck!"

And so, this night, Nihon taught me to cry.

That's the whole point of American right-wing populism. It allows people to attack a phantom coalition of liberal intellectuals and racial minorities.

Capitalism is when the economy is largely or entirely private. Anarchism seeks to destroy the state. Capitalism can be stateless, see anarcho-capitalism and libertarianism.

Yet, communism is where nothing is private, so who owns and plans the factories? It can't be done by individuals, that would be private, and it can't be done by no one.

Irony being Japan is one of the most ethnocentric places on earth and a Japanese person would likely say similar shit as the skinhead strawman to that deluded weaboo.

You're a civilized human being if you take your shoes off before entering your house. What kind of savage walks around his home with shoes on?

FUCKING

KILL

YOURSELF

I am sick and tired of Americans being like "oh my god this is such a weird and unusual thousand years old Japanese-only tradition".

IT IS PERFECTLY NORMAL TO DO THIS EVERYWHERE IN GERMANY

I assume this means that everyone does this in Continental Europe. I know that they do it in Poland too. Do you understand? Even Slavs are more civilized than you Amerifats.

It should be illegal for boys to be barefoot! Only girls should show off their smelly bare feet! Girls should also need to be barefoot 24/7!
