In recent years, a variety of small fresh meat has flooded the screen, some talent shows, boys dressed up in flowery and colorful, simply women are more exquisite, in fact, not only China, the entire East Asian entertainment industry is popular for small fresh meat, many male artists pursue feminine style, where did this kind of female cannon culture rise from, many people first think of South Korea, because the Boy Band in the Korean entertainment industry has the greatest influence, but in fact, Japan is earlier than South Korea.
Japan's earliest implementation of tough guy culture, such as the 70s star Ken Takakura, his tough guy image is loved by many Asian countries, but he became the last tough guy in the Japanese entertainment industry, considered by the Japanese entertainment industry to be the last tough guy in the Showa era, after that, the feminine male star is more and more loved by everyone, the image of men feminine, more and more recognized by everyone, many male stars are packaged as small fresh meat, why this change occurs, a Japanese-American named Johnny Kitagawa, became one of the key figures.
Kitagawa's parents are Japanese, and he grew up in the United States, and even served as a translator for the US military, in the 80s he suddenly returned to Japan and founded an entertainment company called Janis Studio, this once unknown American, suddenly rose in Japan, cultivated many Japanese superstars, we are familiar with Kimura Takuya Nakai Hirosumasa, etc., are the company's artists, in 1995 Kimura Takuya's an advertisement, set off a trend of Japanese girl gun culture, Janis company unprecedented, Let a popular Male Star in Japan shoot an advertisement for lipstick, in which Takuya Kimura wears lipstick and makes sexy movements, this exaggerated and impactful advertisement has captured the hearts of Japanese women, and in just two months, Takuya Kimura's lipstick endorsed by Takuya has been sold out, with an average monthly sales of more than 1.5 million.
Profit-seeking is the nature of the capital market, watching Kimura Takuya so successful, many entertainment companies have followed suit, and Kitagawa will personally select 200 every year, 8 to 15-year-old teenagers into the company, as a reserve artist training, just like many of our entertainment companies today, and at that time he received more than 400,000 applications per year, since then, the aesthetics of the Japanese entertainment industry began to change, to later affect the entire social aesthetic, and then South Korea also competed to imitate, South Korean SM company through the same routine, Packaging out a lot of good-looking stars, the earliest is the Korean boy band HOT that debuted in 1996, other Korean entertainment companies also have the same kind of learning, the entire Korean entertainment circle naturally began to be feminine, and then some artists in South Korea to develop in China, perhaps some Chinese trainees returned to China, but also brought this atmosphere to China, so far China has also appeared more and more small fresh meat in recent years.
With one person can really affect the whole society, Kitagawa's success is certainly not only by the ability behind him, there are many behind-the-scenes pushers behind him, the biggest behind-the-scenes pusher is the United States, in 1954 the United States successfully tested a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific, so that 23 Japanese crew members were injured, since then There has been an anti-American upsurge in Japan, in the face of this situation, the United States simply can not tolerate, after all, after World War II, the United States has been a big brother for many years, a little brother dared to resist the big brother, the United States naturally can't stand it, but The use of force obviously did not work, so decided to start from the ideological point of view, decided to use entertainment programs to brainwash Japan, so Kitagawa got the support of the United States, with the money of the US military out of the establishment of the Janis Office, when there was a media in Japan that wanted to investigate Kitagawa, but was threatened by the Japanese underworld, and finally had to give up the investigation, and now the relationship between Kitagawa and the CIA is still a mystery.
In addition to the United States behind the waves, Japanese culture also for the prevalence of the gun culture, providing the soil for growth, I don't know if you have heard of Japan's Kabuki culture, which is one of japan's traditional culture, some feminine-looking Japanese men, will be dressed as female characters, and can become one of the best men, will be sought after by Japanese society, in Japan's Edogawa period, there is even a monarch to summon the beautiful teenagers of the country, wearing feminine costumes for song and dance performances.
In modern times, Japan also has such a star, such as Akihiro Miwa, who is known as the queen of disguise, he is wearing women's clothes both on the stage and in real life, such a star, not only did not usher in the discussion of Japanese society, but was sought after by many Japanese big figures, such as Yukio Mishima Kawabata Yasunari, etc., are loyal fans of this feminine male star, and even Yukio Mishima also and Miwa Akihiro, passed out a scandal, with such a Japanese culture and history, naturally let the male feminine role, More acceptable.
In the face of the menacing of the Niang cannon culture, we should maintain a high degree of vigilance, now is indeed an era of aesthetic pluralism, indeed no one has the right to interfere with your preferences, but if the whole society, are advocating no masculinity, we will lose the enterprising spirit, to the end the consequences are unimaginable, history has proved this, China's ancient Wei and Jin period, it is extremely popular Niang Gun culture, the famous beautiful man Pan An in history, Wei Jie, who was seen killed, etc. all appeared in this period, when the social turmoil, However, men are proud of their white and feminine beauty, many men have to apply rouge when they go out, and beautiful men will also be sought after by women.
However, when the iron horse of the Hu people stepped into the Central Plains, none of these beautiful men raised their butcher knives to defend their homeland, and finally the Wuhu Chaohua appeared, Wei jin went to extinction, the demise of Wei and Jin promoted the great integration of the nation, the Niangcang culture was also destroyed in the war, and many famous military generals appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and after the Song Dynasty, because of the heavy literature and light weapons, the Niangcang culture rose again, resulting in the shame of Jing Kang.
