It should be more recognized that everyone can express opinion in a society although there are quite less number of celebrities speaking out their political opinions in Japan. There are even some people condemn that celebrities and comedians should not talk about politics because they do not have knowledge. What is really important is that in a democratic society, everyone can express opinion and the society should be generous to all of opinions.
This is the foundation and a society can be built on it. Japan must break though current situation that people hesitate to express opinion including comedians, celebrities, and students. Some might have lesser knowledge than others, but it doesn’t mean that they should not mention opinion. Certain number of people have been misunderstanding that point. When you know better than others, you can teach it to others and both should deeper understand by thinking and questioning about the topic. Each person has each perspective and it is worth sharing.
Meanwhile, the public should have better media literacy to decide whether the opinion mentioned by a celebrity is worth supporting or not. Otherwise those who are fan of celebrities are going to be easily influenced by their expressions.
And just because a person is a huge fan of a celebrity doesn’t mean that he should agree with the political opinion of the celebrity. Each person should have media literacy and should think whether the opinion is supportable or not.
