Der Komiker Fusso Nomura war ein Wunderkind aus einer Medizinerfamilie, das Mathematik in der sechsten Klasse beherrschte, bevor er in die Schule kam, und in der fünften Klasse die Eiken Pre-2nd-Prüfung bestand. Sie scheiterte zweimal an der medizinischen Prüfung der U-Bahn in Tokio und gab das Ganze auf, um sich der Komödie zu widmen. Ihre Mutter sagte: „Du hast mich noch kein einziges Mal zum Lachen gebracht.“

I think genuine intelligence and talent come with an often debilitating drawback of not being able to satisfy oneself with the primitive and insipid ambitions of lesser minds. Choosing a path for oneself is so much harder with so many paths available.
And her mother’s word become her life mission… “to make her laugh”

I saw her on TV once, she wasn’t unfunny. But being a comedian in Japan, unless you hit it big, is far from lucrative and often comes at the expense of your dignity. It’s not surprising to me that people oppose their children following that path, especially ones that have the potential to pursue other careers.

Cool story bruh.
Did she quit because medical exam failed her or someone purposely edit the marks? Heard news that japanese medical high-ups edit papers for women to make it harder to pass?
I read that many women passed the exam but the Japanese schools lied to them to prioritize male applicants. I wonder if that is what happened.
Never understand people’s obsession with a medical degree.
Tiger moms are gonna tiger mom…
As I wrote elsewhere I messed up NMS and TMU as their Japanese names are similar. TMU is not part of the big three, but of the second tier of private schools indeed. Reputationally that puts TMU at around 26.
Yes I can understand that research output might be more relevant if you are a researcher. However AFAIK the no 23 ranking from 偏差値 comes purely from how high school seniors perform in mock exams at private prep schools.
