October 10, 2021：”ジェイミー”、女装家、マツコデラックスさん、宮迫さん ( “Jamie”, Drag Queens, Matsuko Deluxe san, Miyasako san )

 Yesterday, I watched the musical film “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie”, an Amazon Prime original film. It is the story of Jamie, a 16-year old high school student. He struggles to make his debut on a drag queen show amid continual sexual harassment against him. I am deeply moved to see him believe in himself and move forward with his dream. Japan also has many drag queens like Matsuko Deluxe and Mitz Mangrove. They must have the same passion and belief as Jamie had.
 Also, there is a comedian who has such passion for and belief in comedy. It is Hiroyuki Miyasako. He has been continuing to deliver his comedy programs on YouTube even after the breakup of Ameagari Kesshitai, a comedy duo consisting of him and Toru Hotohara. His latest comedy program, “Miyasako Taxi”, gave me so much laughter. His exchanges with Atsushi Tsutsumishita, another comedian, create an irresistible laugher. His comedy skills remain unchanged. 
”Whoever believes will be saved!”

　昨日、Amazon Primeのオリジナル作品「Everybody’s Talking About Jamie ～ジェイミー～」を観た。英国の高校生がドラァグクイーン（女装家）を目指して成長する姿を描いた実話。ミュージカル仕立てで楽しめた。やっぱり、自分を信じて前に進む姿は美しい。日本の女装家と言えば、マツコデラックスさんとミッツマングローブさん。お二人も強い決意で歩んでこられたのだと思う。
　お笑いに強い決意で努力を続ける人もいる。宮迫さん。雨上がり決死隊の解散後も、YouTubeで配信を続けている。大爆笑させてもらったのが、「宮迫タクシー」。ゲストの堤下さんとのやりとりがたまらなく面白い。宮迫さんのお笑いスキルは健在です。
　「信じるモノは救われる」。
