And the average japanese has never been poorer. We're seeing massive shifts in wealth.
🇯🇵 Japanese shares rose to record highs after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's conservatives won a historic election landslide with a projected two-thirds majority.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I like this take
Struggling people standing in line for free lunch boxes in Tokyo's tourist-heavy Asakusa neighborhood said they don't think much of PM Takaichi Sanae dissolving the government. "She said she'd work, work, work," one said, "but dissolved the government before doing anything for us."

Japans abysmal education system paying off
A new poll from Asahi says 50% of Japanese voters oppose next month's snap Lower House election. However, a majority (67%) of 18 to 29 year olds support it - and they're more likely to break for Takaichi's LDP or other right-leaning parties, such as DPFP and Sanseito.

My dad was talking about voting from overseas but how its cumbersome to register bc theyd need his family registry and he would have to physically go to the embassy to vote but he cant drive there he'd have to take public transport or park down the street

Last we heard from GACKT, he was encouraging the country he no longer even lives in to return to isolationism. We like this GACKT better, thanks.
