Ishiba is known as a "otaku" for military, vehicles, trains and Japanese idol. He made headlines when he allowed a Japan Self-Defence Forces' vehicle to be displayed at the Shizuoka Hobby Show, a trade fair for plastic and radio-controlled models. When the Russian Defence Minister visited Japan, he stayed up all night assembling a plastic model of the "Admiral Kuznetsov"
Many of them don’t vote at all. Voter turnout among Japanese youths is paltry, and many are completely uninterested in politics. That largely leaves pensioners and boomers to vote, which the LDP primarily caters to. This demographic group isn’t demanding paid family leave, reforms to the work culture, greater limits on overtime and digitizing more, so the politicians don’t address these issues.
@@tocreatee3585 Sadly, the other parties are too splintered and have no real chance of taking power, which makes voting for many people feel hopeless. I'd love to see the opposition band together to form a coalition, but until that happens, I think we'll see voter turnout dwindle even further...
Sadly, Japan is not the democracy we're expecting. It's more of the country is a single party authoritarian state like Singapore. Good on the outside, bad on the inside. Question... Is Taro Aso using his imperial connections since Reiwa is his sister's nephew? The emperor may have no political nor real power but he's a striking figure to an ultranationalist party like Jiminto. Also, is the Unification Church resembles much of a fall guy to shift the blame on? We all know who funds Jiminto. It will be awkward that they aid a church that spearheads hardline Korean nationalism.
If I were a betting man, my money would be on Katsunobu Kato. Stays in Line, not too young, business as usual. Sounds like a perfect Japanese politician.
Man, I personally feel this Shinjiro Koizumi guy would be the mix of Joe Biden and Trump, policies and comments like Biden and hilarious and straightforward like Trump.
He reminds me of a mixture of Ed Case and Kamala Harris. He, like Case, is relatively moderate and non-ideological. At the same time, he's prone to Kamala Harris's word salads and platitudes.
Can the japanese vote someone much more younger because the older pm really neglect the youth there in japan leading to problems such as shut ins and young adults not marrying and not having kids
Him being anti nuclear energy immediately lost my vote. For a so called technology guy, nuclear has come a long way since the Fukushima plants were built in the 70s. Nuclear is the most environmentally friendly, abundant, and cheap compared to other forms of energy.
@@timr.2257 But others are slightly fascist. A lot of LDP politicians like Shinzo Abe and Shigeru Ishiba are part of the ultranationalist Nippon Kaigi organization, and make official visits to the Yasakuni Shrine which has parts commemorating war criminals. Many more are silent. Kono is the only one with a reasonable position: stop official visits, and build a new shrine without war criminals. Besides, there's no point of a national government supporting nuclear energy if local governments will block them anyways, as Japanese ones often do (eg. Shizuoka prefecture, which NIMBYed the Chuo Shinkansen until their governor resigned after a scandal).
He's not anti nuclear, just less pro nuclear than many of his colleagues. He is still for restarting and maintain the current nuclear power plants in Japan
I think you are absolutely right. Sadly, as the LDP has no real opposition, the party members rather elect someone who will keep the status quo that benefits them rather than rocking their cushy boat

Honestly, your comments here really warm my heart! I especially love hearing your thoughts on the candidates as leaders 😂 Keep them coming!
Shinjiro is a nepo baby. C'mon? Junichiro did efforts to make Yokosuka its own congressional district, instilling that any Koizumi stays in the Diet.
@@reinpinebook825I mean, he's called a dumb-dumb in the video, which feels like a synonym for a nepo baby
koizumi shinjirou is like our vice president who is also youngest, "dumb-dumb", son of former leader and many people make meme of him

Its amazing how Japanese seemingly refuse to vote for any other party...

you have 4 choices LDP or communist party or former socialist party and a party consist of former LDP members.
which would you choose?
@@tocreatee3585Communist party ofcourse 😊

I kinda wanna see Koizumi become PM just so we can see the sequel to Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku.
Rei Saito for Prime Minister.
Talk about how spirit of shinzo abe saved trump . A 20 miles/hr gust of wind saved him "divine wind" hmmm
Which person do you think will become the next PM of Japan?
I think Ishiba, but I am hoping for Kono Taro

Can you upload 2024 LDP leadership election where Ishiba the winner?

>ultra loose monetary policy will help japan back
Surprise, surprise😂😂😂😂
She's really just an Abe shill...
This is hilarious
I'll go for the second guy, but like what you said, "Same old s***."

If there were a popular vote, Kono would probably win a runoff. But, for the near future, we're probably gonna see a parade of non entities.
