The Agnes Chow Phenomenon in Japan — Twitter Protests Break Through Comfort Zones
When Japanese netizens protested against the arrest of Agnes Chow on Twitter, many analyzed that Chow was popular because the image of a young foreign girl who speaks Japanese was favourable, but that was not the only reason. Not only did the Japanese people spoke out to #FreeAgnes to express support for Chow and Hong Kong, but some who do not speak English even made a rare attempt to speak out in English, and many showed their courage in stepping out of their comfort zones.
Japanese singer song-writer Tavito Nanao tweeted his thoughts on the protest song he wrote for Agnes Chow’s arrest, “I may not be able to go on a China tour again or meet my Chinese friends in China again. It's heart-breaking.”
Japanese actress Orii Ayumi tweeted, “I refrained from expressing my personal opinions in public because I didn’t want to cause inconvenience to others. But now, I cannot stand it any longer. If I don’t voice my opinions, I won’t forgive myself. Hong Kong is where I grew up in from age 6 to 12. Go find out what’s happening in Hong Kong.”
Before June 2019, most Hong Kongers only concerned themselves with entertainments, and were ignorant of social issues and tolerating towards the pressure from China out of consideration of their livelihoods and careers. Are not the Japanese people now what Hong Kongers were before?
The Japanese saw possibilities in Hong Kongers’ assiduous fight against the CCP. In the repressed Japanese society, a political tweet may lead to a social disaster and celebrity had to “kowtow to China” for “gaffes”. Even so, many Japanese still mustered the courage to take their first step in support of Chow and Hong Kongers and empowered themselves to break through their comfort zones.
