In the film industry, there was much talk of "making Japanese films in Hollywood. In reality, however, the industry has not only failed to produce any results, but is now in a catastrophic situation, losing billions to tens of billions of yen in the process. This film producer, who has been following the problems of the Cool Japan policy for many years, triggered by the words of the great director Wim Wenders, will thoroughly expose the fraud and insanity of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the main culprit behind the whole thing, and consider how the support for creators should be based on successful examples in other countries.
