Admin’s Note

As the House of Councillors election approaches, it is becoming increasingly important to review the candidates and party manifestos. In particular, deepening our understanding of specific issues such as the economy and foreign policy will lead to smarter voting. Additionally, as seen in the conversation between Chako and Log, it is vital for younger generations to be engaged in politics. Moving forward, I want to actively share information about the elections and emphasize the importance of voting.
