PM Ishiba’s whole career has been about bringing sensible support out to the shrinking countrysides. He has some very good ideas that should have been implemented decades ago frankly. It’s not just Tokyo that needs govt and corporate attention.

He could be busy on these of course if his whole crew didn’t have to deal daily with ridiculousness. Like the temper tantrums of his closest ally.

No that’s completely right. It’s all too little too late. I guess we can just enjoy what we have left and, I don’t know, make the most of it? It’s not all bad. It sure is cheap to live out here or in the Japanese countryside for one!

It's strange how some parts of Japan are shrinking while other are getting bloated with people. Let's hope in pink octopuses.

All hail the pink octopus! But yes, it is quite remarkable. Tokyo seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. Sakata on the other hand…
