Now, here’s a follow-up to my previous installment on the coming of a memorable political movement targeting the Upper-house Election here in Japan in July. I thought that was enough to portray the upcoming of an impressive political movement, but I was wrong. A few days away from the voting day, the national election, probably the last in three years to come, does call for one extra installment to correctly describe the meaning and weight of the upsurge of Sanseito, the stormy political party born anew.

First and foremost, Sanseito has gained over 80 thousand members in a few months’ time and yet expects to win 20 thousand more by the voting day in July. Astounding, if not unbelievable. Sanseito has long passed the levels of Shaminto (Social Democratic Party), Kokumin Minshuto (National Democratic Party), and Nihon Ishin-no-kai (Japan Restoration Association), not to mention other petty one-issue parties, closing up to the level of the leading opposition party, Rikken Minshuto (Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan).

This is simply unbelievable. First, no newborn party has ever won enough members to pile up funds to run five national-constituency candidates AND 45 local consistuencies to represent each and every prefecture in Japan. Just for your info, it costs 6 million yen and 3 million to officially register each candidate for national and local constituencies, respectively. What a feat for a newborn party to gather up publicly such a sum in such a brief moment of time!

Astonished should you not yet be. Watch Kamiya speak and listen to Yoshino, Matsuda, and Takeda orate at street corners to witness how large a crowd they draw. On one day in a street in Shinjuku, Tokyo, as many as 15 hundred ardent spectators flocked to listen to Kamiya and Yoshino talk on the bandwagon, and a casual talk session in Kumamoto, Kyushu, attracted hundreds of willing listeners filling up the arcade.

The party pinpoints three urgent issues for Japan to immediately target: education; food and health; and national defense. Kamiya objects to the current system of undue stress on stereotype education and supports a new vista of education based on individual inclinations. Yoshino spends a great of time emphasizing the value of natural foods with less or no additives and attacking the files of vile fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. He upholds his theory of not curing maladies but of removing causes of maladies to start with.

On national security, the party pinpoints three guidelines to guard against foreign “threats”: first, legislation to guard against foreign capitals to seek and possess firms and properties in Japan; second, control over foreign workforce penetrating the Japanese labor market and denying foreign subjects of suffrage to take part in Japanese politics; third, lastly,
a new government-issued digital currency to protect private data and the right of issuing currencies – a theory pursued by Manabu Matsuda, one of the five national-constituency candidates.

The average turnout of votes in national elections is roughly 50% or thereabouts, meaning fifty percent or so of potential voters shy away from every national election. Well aware of the climate, Sanseito concentrates on the eve of the Upper-house election on active electioneering across the country.

Wake up folks, they call; wake up to the reality and do what you can do to rectify, they claim and, believe you me, this nation is quietly awakening, awakening to the reality of the nation under siege, under every undue pressure to undermine her potentials. The hitherto inactive, sleeping fifty percent is fast waking up to the reality unknowingly threatening their land, awakening by the sounds of bugles blown aloud by a fast-growing political movement led by Sanseito.

Yes, something is happening; something extraordinary is about to happen here in the land of the Rising Sun. Not anything like what prevails on the eve of the last Greater East Asia War, but something that foretells the coming of a new order in East Asia. Japan is about to be reborn as a peaceful, leading power in Asia to declare the dawn of new order. Sanseito is literally a glorious fanfare foretelling the birth of a new Japan – the symbol of virtuous enlightenment.

The former prime minister Shinzo Abe, an ally of the former US President Donald Trump, was gunned down this afternoon in Nara. The entire nation is mourning at this very moment. This definitely marks, I am certain, the rise of a new wave of nationalism. In a while, an on-the-spot analysis is due for your scrutiny – stand by.
