In my experience, being able to speak Japanese has never been much of a cushion against harassment, unfortunately. What speaking Japanese allows you to do is to understand your situation better, and respond to it with more agency. I am very sorry to hear that stuff happened to you. There certainly is a lot of racism and sexism here, though no more than anywhere else in the world, sadly. The trend toward greater harassment of foreign fans in later years is a real thing - I thought it was maybe just an issue with the B-T fandom, but I guess it was an issue with Luna Sea, too. What a shame. Dealing with adversity is hard, but remind yourself that you took on the challenge of tackling a tough situation, and that makes you a stronger person. If other people can't understand what you went through, it's because they haven't yet walked a mile in your shoes.Caycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982217665840858486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-66787563231243343592022-07-21T21:27:32.386+09:002022-07-21T21:27:32.386+09:00Thank you so much for saying so :)Thank you so much for saying so :)Caycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982217665840858486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-81729678737473719532022-06-16T14:33:26.722+09:002022-06-16T14:33:26.722+09:00Karma to all the aku no biran!

Hope you don't mind.<br /><br />As I got older and started making money, I started going to shows in Japan. My Japanese is, unfortunately, non-existent. I wanted to learn and I did a bit, but life happened. I'm also a brown Asian woman. I had a hard time every time I was in Japan, whether it was racist or sexist incidents. Somehow in later years it felt more intolerable, and I got harassed more intensely at shows by other fans. To the point that I swore off Japan and stopped renewing my LUNA SEA FC membership. I keep wondering whether speaking Japanese would cushion me somewhat from harassment, cos my friends who do don't really get harassed in Japan. But then they're Chinese so there's the factor that they somewhat pass as Japanese, and I definitely can't.<br /><br />Then Covid happened and after 2 years of not being able to see live shows, I find myself pining to be in Japan again. Despite everything, I feel like moving to Japan to attend a Japanese school and attend live shows. But there's the other part of me that feels like it's not a good idea for reasons above.<br /><br />Sorry for the unsolicited rant. I guess I just wanna gauge your opinion whether someone like me who's approaching 40, still can make it in Japan.katharoteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087899159461250817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-9739848125687274132022-06-06T09:17:33.708+09:002022-06-06T09:17:33.708+09:00Thank you very much for the latest updates.
