Soon or later Sanae Takaichi will be Japan's first female prime minister.

So ridiculous that you keep calling Japanese politicians 'right-wing' only because they defend common sense. That's the same narrative pushed by homosexual media Oligarchs in the West like George Soros. Japanese politians aren't really conservative they oppose criminalizing homosexuality and they support the prostitution/pornographic industry where is the conservatism?

Asahi Shimbun is a George Soros funded propaganda machine filled with lies.

George Soros wants to corrupt Japan

Hopefully you'll make a video about the local elections and the by-election.

Great to see you back on UA-cam! Thank you for providing some context on this issue!

I don't blame Kishida nor Arai. What I blame is the Mainichi Shinbun who publishes off-record comment, breaking promise. From this, we should know that no media is trustable. Mainichi Shinbun follows Western ideology and wants to erase Japanese culture.

Why is there no more videos? Japan's politics is in a crucial month as of October 2022.

Could you do a video (or video series) where you explain what the different parties means on general policies.

This is extremely well done. Huge kudos

Great video! Seems like Japan is indeed taking a hardline stance, and I imagine that'll continue to be the case after a Russian helicopter entering Japan's airspace...

One other keynote is that incumbents tend to win re-election for governor and mayor elections so it is not a surprise that Taketoyo won. What was a surprise was that in 2018 Taketoyo won against the Opposition incumbent. In 2018 what was critical was that JRP backed Taketoyo. This time around JRP is neutral but Taketoyo won by a greater margin. This shows the power of incumbancy.

Glad to see you again! I'm looking forward to this year's politics

Can you do like explainer videos on the different parties and dynamics in the parliament? Thanks for the content!

Thanks for the video! Keep them up. I missed them.

I hope you continue and do a video on the results and immediate consequences of the election.

I just discovered this channel recently and I never realized how new it was! Keep up the good work, the videos are so informative.

I hope you're going to release one more video before the election day.

Could you make a video that analyses the two by-elections that happened just a few days ago? I would love to watch that.

Thank you! Great video

Great video. Could you please, also, make another video about factions in the LDP and their history? I am quite fascinated to be honest about this topic.

This is getting exciting. This video had lots of interesting things and stats I didn't knew about.

Hi. Feedback on your prediction. A couple of typos. Hyodo 8th is KP's seat not LDP. So KP should win 9 not 8 seats. Niigata 5th has a pro-CDP independent running and not CDP.

Thanks for the video 🖐 I really appreciate them, keep going

Thank you so much for this video. It felt so far that the discussion of Japanese politics was more like the "LDP show" than an actual analysis of it as a whole.

Hi! Thanks for all content, it's been really helpful! Do you have any recommendations about Japanese politics? Pretty much basic, like a guide (101)? I've been watching and rewatching your videos but I still find it somewhat difficult, because I really don't have a good background on politics and all that stuff lol (acronyms, ideological differences, vocabulary, political system structure, etc). I don't know if I need something like a history book with an in-depth analysis about the topic or I can just continue to immerse in this content with news, articles, and videos... I appreciate any responses, keep going with this awesome work!

Hi! I love your videos. They give great insight and I like the regular updates, as they come, with an in-depth feel. If I might suggest something, I recommend removing the Episode # at the end of your videos. Every video seems to be a stand-alone article, without needing previous information from the other videos. Having it might alienate new viewers, who think they need to watch 12+ videos to fully understand. I want to see this channel grow!

I think the core issue is the KP alliance with LDP. The KP voter, mostly lower middle class that is Center-Left on economics and moderate Center-Right on cultural issues, should be a natural ally of an centrist oriented CDP against the LDP. But the KP alliance with LDP removes that bloc of voters off the table. What the CDP, just like the old DPJ, finds itself is no viable alliance is possible that can take on LDP-KP. Have an alliance with DPP and try to rope in some JRP voters means JCP cutting into its Center-Left base. Have an alliance with JCP means the Centrist anti-LDP vote goes to DPP and JRP. In a different universe a coalition of CDP-DPP-KP would from a viable second pole in opposition to LDP.

I really appreciate your videos and I look forward to more of them

I enjoyed your video very much.

Great analysis, thank you :D

I am shocked that Amari was able to come back after what happen to him a few years back. I guess this is the cleansing effect of winning re-election. I also remember the panty minister although not by name. I am shocked he is back.

Great vid thanks👍

It seems Koike, yet again, will start a national party. Sign, history repeats itself, first as tragedy and and second as farce.

Thanks for this. I wonder how Kishida will do leading the LDP into battle against the opposition. I suspect with Kishida at the helm, JRP will out perform and DPP will under perform.

I would love for you to delve more into the opposition more specifically, the CDP, their chances and compare them to the sudden wave of other center left parties winning elsewhere.

Excellent in-depth analysis of the Japanese real politik scene, thank you very much!

Margaret Thatcher 2.0 ? She has my vote!😌

Thanks for the great video. Can you please do a video on the proposed Japanese constitutional referendum regarding Article 9? Will it ever happen, who are the major figures that support the changes and who oppose them, where do the LDP leadership candidates stand on the issue and do any still plan on holding the referendum if they become Prime Minister etc?

Next video, cover Kono and what policies he may pass on the domestic and foreign fronts. I know this is premature, but given how public opinion is on Kono's side (September 18th poll has no other politician in the election coming close to the guy, he has over 40% while none of them are even above 20%), it makes plain sense for the politicians to vote Kono into power. Political suicide would be an overstatement as I am no politician and am just an eighteen year old in an American college, but even I have to admit it would be terrible for the LDP to vote in this woman. Sure it would be progressive given she be the first prime minister and sure she has Abe's support, but even if a lot of LDP politicians are members of the far-right, she sounds more far-right than even Abe and Suga. Given how the LDP has lost some smaller elections to other parties, Kono seems to be their best chance at survival. Hell, the man has a great reputation with the Covid vaccine rollout in Japan and he connects with the citizens on social media. Only Japanese Imperials and the Japanese equivalent to all the violent far-right groups in America and Europe would support this woman. So anyways, maybe next video you could cover the candidate most likely to win? You have seven days to give us a preview to Japan's potential future.

So despite the fact that Japan has had little change in which party runs the country, that doesn't mean the LDP just basks in its power and ignores the people? Nice to know you can have an extremely stable government that is not plain evil like in fiction. I admit I feel a little bad for Suga, but it makes sense to dump him as he is very unpopular. It also makes sense not to have the snap election. Either way would lead to a major loss of popularity for the party. Heck, Japan may ultimately benefit from this. If Taro Kono wins, it'll almost be like the CDP or SDP wins the election, so things are going to get interesting.

Great video. Really insightful. Thank you!

like the video...that being said. If you call yokohama part of the greater tokyo area My yokohama native wife may crawl thru the screen to educate you personally on just how much yokohama has nothing to do with Tokyo greater area

Please continue making videos. We foreign people couldn't understand Japanese Politics because of the language barrier. You are really doing a great job! Thank you for these videos.

The LDP race seems to be, like you said, Abe vs Kono. If Kono cannot win on the first round them most likely he will be defeated in the second round by Abe's forces since the second round is more MP vote heavy. If so too bad for LDP since a Kono led LDP is most likely able to gain more votes in the general election.

I think back in 2017 Takaichi's husband who is also a LDP MP divorced her because her political views were too right wing for him

Just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos! Nice and educative and I hope you keep it up!

Great video, keep em coming

If Kono wins it is also bad news for JRP in addition to CDP. Kono appeals to urban professionals which is JRP's base outside of Osaka. Kono's LDP will cut into JRP's vote. Kono is not a good fit for rural Western Japan but LDP is so strong there it does not matter that much.

2021 LDP Leadership race maps to 1990 UK CON leadership race. Suga = Thatcher, Kishida = Heseltine, Kono = Major
