With the House of Representatives election (February 8th) just around the corner, I'm incredibly anxious.
My Facebook news feed is a chaotic mix of Japanese, English, German, and the occasional Italian or Spanish. I've heard that Bruce Springsteen's new song criticizing ICE's anti-immigration policies has quickly become number one on the charts.
What about Japan? I've heard rumors that if Takaichi remains in power, war and conscription will come, and I've seen an image of actor Go Kato's comment stressing the importance of the Japanese Constitution.
And did you know that economic professionals at places like the Nikkei Shimbun and Mizuho Bank are saying that Takaichi's economic policies are in trouble? At this point, it's no longer a matter of right or left.
I've attached an article from Mizuho Bank. Please take a look if you're interested.
A major bank's extremely unusual report, in which they publicly preached that Prime Minister Takaichi's remarks were "outdated," has spread like wildfire on social media.

衆院選の投票日(2月8日)を前にして、不安でしょうがないです。
私のFacebookのニュースフィードは日本語、英語、ドイツ語、たまにイタリア語やスペイン語とカオス状態です。ブルース・スプリングスティーンの移民を排除するICE批判の新曲がヒットチャートでたちまち1位になったとか。
我が日本はどうか。高市政権が続くと戦争、徴兵制が来るとか、俳優の加藤剛さんの日本国憲法の大事さを訴えたコメントの画像とか。
そして実は日経新聞やみずほ銀行のような経済のプロが高市経済をヤバいと言っているのご存知ですか？ここまで来るともはや右とか左の問題ではないですね。
みずほ銀行の記事貼っておきます。よろしかったら読んでくださいね。
