I will not comment on the case of Mr. Matsumoto's case itself.

Because I remember the "Los scandal" of 1981.

This case was then and still is too complicated for me to understand.

For those interested, click here.

I was a teenager then and did not pay much attention to the case.

However, I remember how heated the public and the media were.

-----

I still remember it clearly,

The weekly magazine, which had called the person out in the case and treated him like a criminal, called him "Mr." after his acquittal by the Supreme Court and published an article that was "sympathetic" to "what he experimented treatment as a criminal."

It was a weekly magazine that included the word "women."

I remember cursing the weekly magazine for its "ignorance," "incompetence," "irresponsibility," "illiteracy," "unbelief," "lack of character," "shamelessness," and a host of other abuses that would have been inadequate.

Even now, I can't erase that feeling when I see people reading those weekly magazines (Omitted below).

As a writer, I am also subject to criticism and condemnation.

I don't blame them; however, I try not to be abused as "shameless.

If I write something wrong and am convinced it is wrong, I can say, 'I was wrong.?I am sorry,' and I will continue to do so.

It is relatively unimportant to me whether "I" am right or not.

I am a researcher & engineer trained to change my mind within 3 seconds if I am convinced I am wrong.
