I'm so sick of the endless parade of musicians, actors, "talents" and yes, politicians ooh-ing and aah-ing over the "psychic" talents of bullshit artists like Kazuko Hosoki and Hiroyuki Ehara. 
Besides dominating the airwaves, these vultures have a grip on the minds of a huge chunk of the population, if my acquaintances are anything to go by.
So I thought I'd keep a record of those Japanese celebrities who I have seen "come out" over the years—those who have stated publicly that they do NOT believe. Quite brave of them really, as I imagine the networks don't take kindly to celebrities who go cash-cow tipping.
Here's the list I've amassed so far:
That's all.
Just now on tv, after another celebrity was going on about how he's "really into feng shui", Chiaki (千秋) declared, "I don't believe in feng shui, fortune-telling or any of that stuff."
Bravo.
Surely there must be others, but where the hell are they?

J-Celebrities Who DON'T Believe in Psychics
2 comments:
I'm not a celebrity but I don't believe in psychics either. Penn and Teller covered the whole topic on their television show called, "Bullshit". However, there were still participants on the show who maintained their belief in this garbage even after it was proven to be false beyond a reasonable doubt.
There is a great book, "Why People Believe in Really Weird Things". I forget the author and am too lazy to google it. Read it!!!
