From The Twins Osugi And Peeco To Longstanding Icon Miwa Akihiro, Claire Maree Traces The Figure Of The Japanese Queerqueen, Showing How A Diversity Of Gender Identifications, Sexual Orientations, And Discursive Styles Are Commodified And Packaged Together To Form This Character. Representations Of Gay Men's Speech Have Changed In Tandem With Gender Norms, Increasingly Crossing Over Into Popular Media Via The Body Of The Authentic Gay Male Up To And Including The Current Lgbt Boom In Japan. In This Context, Queerqueen Demonstrates How Commercial Practices Of Recording, Transcribing, And Editing Spoken Interactions And Use Of On-screen Text Encode Queerqueen Speech As Inherently Excessive And In Need Of Containment.
