Admin’s Note

Prime Minister Takaichi’s recent call is an important signal regarding the establishment of the budget. As the extraordinary session of the Diet approaches, I am very curious about how the debates between the ruling and opposition parties will unfold. As seen in the conversation between Chako and Log, discussions about the budget, which directly impact the country’s future, can also be significant topics for children. I hope this can serve as a starting point for them to develop an interest in politics and that it sparks conversations in their surroundings.
