| 研究実績の概要 |
To deepen the analysis of the data, this research follows transpinays living in Japan. The researcher conducts follow-up interviews with former detainees, and examines their lives after they were granted a provisional release. Their migration experience is compared to the existing data of the transpinay entertainers in Japan.
This study shows these trans women’s experiences before, during, and after migration to Japan. It explores their migration trajectories that in most cases indicate transformative and empowering experiences.
This long-term research was written as a dissertation entitled “The Migration Pathways and Gender Performance of Transpinay Entertainers in Japan” and the researcher passed the oral defense to be awarded her doctorate degree.

理由
The progress of this study and quality of data attempts to be aligned with the objectives of this project, despite the very limited fieldwork conducted due to COVID-19.
The findings highlight and compare the situations of transpinays and transgender Filipino women in Japan from the 1980s until the present. The transgender lives of these trans women are greatly influenced by immigration policies that affect their occupation, relationships, and health. The findings also reveal that further studies on the trans migrants’ well-being and mental health should be addressed.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
The study mainly consists of fieldwork at entertainment clubs in various prefectures in Japan, and interviews with transpinays residing in Japan and returning migrants in the Philippines. But due to COVID-19, the interviews were held online and netnography as a research methodology was utilized.
Since there were travel restrictions in 2021, the researcher focused on finishing writing the dissertation, collected data through online resources, and continued to analyze data for the purpose of writing research papers for publication.
For 2022, the researcher aims to collaborate with other scholars and migrants to hold a virtual round table discussions on Zoom. The researcher intends to conduct interviews with new participants in Japan. Finally, the researcher continues to analyze existing data, present at academic conferences, and write academic articles for publication.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
The researcher was not able to conduct fieldwork in the previous years so she plans to use the remaining budget for fieldwork. Aside from the fieldwork, she intends to collaborate with other scholars and hold webinars with research scholars and migrants. She continues gathering data, presenting at conferences, and writing articles for publication. The budget will be used for fieldwork, webinars, participation in conferences, transcription, translation, and proofreading services.
