Being a fake priest in Japan

Once again, the Japanese turn Western religious categories on their heads.

Omi Junko was surprised to find out that some of the Western priests were not genuine.

“I thought the priests were all real and I think everyone in Japan thinks that,” she said.

But Mr Kelly argues that the ceremony is not about religion, but about image.

“I give a good performance. I use an Apache wedding prayer in my ceremony. It works very well, although I had to take out the part about the bear god in the sky,” he said.

“If people are crying by the end of the wedding, I think I have done a good job.”
