Given what is reported below, I imagine this was gratefully welcomed by Prime Minister Kishida.\u00a0<\/p><h2 id=\"h-america-lands-on-the-moon\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">America lands on the Moon<\/h2><p>In unrelated news, America landed on the moon Friday. This is pretty big. This is after completely forgetting about moon-landings following the Apollo Program 20 years ago. America solely focused on the Shuttle, the Space Station, then Space Force. Also newsy is the fact that it was a private company (Intuitive Machines) rather than NASA who drove the entire project. This follows the Russians, Indians and Japanese all of whom have targeted the south-pole in the last 3 months. Apparently, someone knows something that we don\u2019t? In any event, only the Indians (and the Americans) were successful: the Japanese module landed on its head and the Russian craft crashed.<\/p><h2 id=\"h-approval-ratings-at-record-low\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Approval ratings at record low<\/h2><p>14% approval rating for the Prime Minister, 16% for the\u00a0LDP, polls revealed this week. Tiny opposition party Riken enjoys a similar 16% approval among the voting population, so this is worrying. The LDP has not been this low since 2012.<\/p><h2 id=\"h-most-popular-options-for-prime-minister-when-in-a-crunch-like-this\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most popular options for Prime Minister when in a crunch like this<\/h2><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\u00a0<\/li><li>Spend more money;<\/li><li>Announce something new;<\/li><li>Fire a deserving, noteworthy individual;<\/li><li>Push-up the Nikkei;<\/li><li>Travel overseas;<\/li><li>Diminish bad news via deflection or under mounds of earth.<\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Throughout today\u2019s briefing, you will notice every option being actively pursued\u2026<\/span><\/p><h2 id=\"h-a-massive-data-leak-and-hack-announced\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A massive data leak and hack announced<\/h2><p>Unfortunately, this revelation came out of America. For over two years, it has been noticed that diplomatic cables among\/between Japan and several other Southeast Asia countries have been compromised. I-Soon is identified as the culprit, an organization in Shanghai. The report states that the organization has hacked India, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea for years. Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi was quick to report that \u2018thankfully, Japan escaped any damage whatsoever\u2026\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0Five-eyes indeed.<\/p><h2 id=\"h-the-nikkei-breaks-record\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Nikkei breaks record<\/h2><p>Not since 1989 has the stock-market soared so much. The average price for shares traded on the 225-company exchange exceeded \u00a539,153 on Thursday and again on Friday. $\/\u00a5, however, is still stuck at the unpopular $\/\u00a5150.48 on Friday (though exporters &amp; in-bound tourists are having a heyday). Predominantly export-related companies (like autos, auto-parts, high-tech components, consumer goods) have recorded historically high profits for three-years in a row now.<\/p><h2 id=\"h-the-opposition-parties-have-united\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The opposition parties have united\u00a0<\/h2><p>The opposition parties have united\u00a0to insist the LDP submit to an Ethics Committee Hearing on the kickback scandal this next week.\u00a0\u00a0Over the last week of haggling, their insistence has been whittled-down one-by-one: they wanted the 51 admittedly guilty-of-kickback scheming Diet Members to appear: they will get 5; they wanted testimony to be compulsory: it is voluntary; they wanted a joint Upper House \/ Lower House Ethics Committee Hearing: they got the Lower House only; they wanted testimony to cover AT LEAST the 5 year statute of limitations: they got 2.5 years \u201918 ~ \u201922; they wanted Hearings open-to-the-public: the hearings will be closed. As it currently stands over the weekend, the hearings will be on Tuesday &amp; Wednesday. They are still haggling over Open vs Closed, Compulsory vs Voluntary, even the date for starting. So far, the LDP has won every struggle and the opposition just keeps slinking along. This indicates an appreciation they have for exactly how hard they can push, with any chance of success: the LDP just has them outnumbered every way to Sunday, it seems.<\/p><h2 id=\"h-foreign-minister-kamikawa-at-the-10-nation-pacific-islands-forum\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Foreign Minister Kamikawa at the 10 nation Pacific Islands Forum<\/h2><p>Foreign Minister Kamikawa was at the 10-nation Pacific Islands Forum\u00a0last week, in Samoa &amp; Fiji, in preparation for the super conclave in June in Tokyo (Tokyo is co-Chair). In the meantime, China makes inroads. China received agreement from the island nation of Kiribati (2,160 km from Hawaii) for Chinese police to patrol the island\u2019s streets for purposes of anti-crime and surveillance. Kiribati rejected recognition of Taiwan in 2019 and received a wharf and embassy plus infrastructure development as well. Other island-nations have received similar tempting offers. The US and Japan are promising more funding and support. Progress is however slow due to budget difficulties and political tensions. China is not quite on-a-roll but the Belt &amp; Road Initiative is making significant headway. Kamikawa is attempting to fix this.<\/p><h2 id=\"h-hottest-summer-on-record-coming\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hottest summer on record coming<\/h2><p>The Meteorological Agency predicts Summer of \u201824 to be blistering. The trajectory is already becoming clear: the eagerly anticipated appearance of budding flowers on the bazillion cherry trees in Tokyo is slated for March 17<sup>th<\/sup>. This is 1o days earlier than the average; full-bloom on March 25<sup>th<\/sup>. The snow-monsters in Zao Mountains, the igloo \u2018kamakura\u2019 in Yokote, Akita and the Ice Festival in Sapporo have collapsed, turning tourists away. \u201cIt is going to be a scorcher!\u201d, we are already told.<\/p><h2 id=\"h-an-unfortunate-turn-of-events-for-education-minister-masahito-moriyama\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">An unfortunate turn of events for Education Minister Masahito Moriyama<\/h2><p>In an unfortunate turn of events, Education Minister Masahito Moriyama\u00a0(69yo, 5x, Kishida) suffered from a no-confidence vote this week. The Education Ministry is in a court battle against the Unification Church, with Minister Moriyama the chief architect of the legal fight. While the goal is to strip the religious-privileges from the church and redistribute their tremendous accumulated wealth, it turns out that the Minister won his Lower House election in 2021 because he signed an Agreement to endorse the Church\u2019s policies on LGBTQ, Defense, the Constitution, and dozens of other policy platforms insisted-upon by the Church. \u201cOh, those guys? I forgot!\u201d was all he could say in Diet testimony. He is still Minister of Education.<\/p><h2 id=\"h-chief-advisory-board-on-defense-advises-the-prime-minister\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chief Advisory Board on Defense\u00a0advises the Prime Minister<\/h2><p>Chief Advisory Board on Defense\u00a0advises the Prime Minister this week that the \u00a543 trillion yen he carefully earmarked over 5 years to bring Japan\u2019s defense-spending to 2% of GDP \u201cwill not cut it!\u201d. The original amount is now determined to be, not only \u2018woefully inadequate\u2019, but a complete waste \u201c\u2026 if not substantially supplemented\u201d. The Prime Minister hasn\u2019t yet been able to articulate where the \u00a543 trillion is to come from in the first place.
