Politicians kick off campaigning for Japan's upper house elections on July 21.
Full Story:
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe hoping for victory to resolve the "twisted parliament" in the July 21 poll, urged voters on Thursday (July 4) to back his ruling bloc as campaigning began.
Japan has suffered a parliamentary gridlock ever since Abe led the Liberal Democratic Party to a massive defeat in a 2007 upper house vote.
The main opposition Democratic Party of Japan faced a similar headache after sweeping to power in 2009, only to lose a 2010 upper house election.
A massive win for the party could be a mixed blessing.
It gives Abe a mandate but also bolsters the ranks of MPs who may oppose painful reforms many say are needed to revive growth.
And this may be detrimental for Japan, according to Temple University Japan's professor of Asian Studies, Jeff Kingston.
[Jeff Kingston, Professor of Asian Studies, Temple University Japan]:
"I think if the LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) wins big, they control both houses of the Diet, many members of Abe's party won't feel the great sense of urgency to adopt sweeping reforms. This means that structural reform and Abe's growth strategy are going to suffer and I think there will be a backlash in the markets."
Kingston predicts general apathy from the general public.
[Jeff Kingston, Professor of Asian Studies, Temple University Japan]:
"I expect in the upper house elections, the turnout again will be low. So it seems that a lot of voters have been turned off by the Japanese political system," he said.
Resident Shiho Hashizu echoes the sentiment that there's a lack of choice in a real opposition.
[Shiho Hashizu]:
"I don't know who to vote for. The whole of Japan seems to lack upright, hard workers. Each party lacks guts. We feel like, 'a true hero, please step forward!'"
Many wonder if Abe will shift gear to focus on constitutional reform.
Stress on his conservative agenda, including efforts to recast Japan's wartime history with a less apologetic tone, would further strain relations with China and Korea.
A win on July 21 could set the stage for the first stable, long-term administration since 2006, since no national election need be held until 2016.

When it come to elections, I think of this song "My Dear Country" by Norah Jones. Is it okay for you and your society to tell people whom and which party you are voting for? This has been kind of my conflict when it comes to politics. Let me know what you think.

Early elections in Japan are looking more likely with a senior ruling MP appearing to confirm rising speculation in the country.
There is no word from the Japanese Prime Minister himself, but there have been mounting indications of an early ballot in the media.
Shinzo Abe is widely expected to postpone a tax increase that has proved unpopular while he attempts to shore up his support.
Some media reports say a ballot is being planned for next month.

Voters in Japan are casting ballots in a key poll for half of the seats in the country's upper house of parliament. Polling was expected to close at 8:00pm (11:00 GMT) on Sunday. Final results will be known late at night or early on Monday. With approval ratings well over 60 percent seven months after he took office as prime minister, Shinzo Abe's ruling Liberal Democratic Party is expecting to further strengthen its grip on power. Al Jazeera's Rob McBride reports from Tokyo.

The Japanese political system has three types of elections: general elections to the House of Representatives held every four years (unless the lower house is dissolved earlier), elections to the House of Councillors held every three years to choose one-half of its members, and local elections held every four years for offices in prefectures, cities, and villages. Elections are supervised by election committees at each administrative level under the general direction of the Central Election Administration Committee, an attached organization to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC). The minimum voting age is twenty years; voters must satisfy a three-month residency requirement before being allowed to cast a ballot. For those seeking office, there are two sets of age requirements: twenty-five years of age for admission to the House of Representatives and most local offices, and thirty years of age for admission to the House of Councillors and the prefectural governorship. Each deposit for candidacy is 3 million yen (30 thousand dollars) for single-seat constituency and 6 million yen (60 thousand dollars) for proportional representation.

Japan 
i/dʒəˈpæn/ (Japanese: 日本 Nihon or Nippon; formally 日本国 
Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, literally the State of Japan) is an island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is sometimes referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun".
Japan is an archipelago of 6,852 islands. The four largest islands are Honshū, Hokkaidō, Kyūshū and Shikoku, together accounting for ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan has the world's tenth-largest population, with over 127 million people. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes the de facto capital city of Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with over 30 million residents.
Archaeological research indicates that people lived in Japan as early as the Upper Paleolithic period. The first written mention of Japan is in Chinese history texts from the 1st century AD. Influence from other nations followed by long periods of isolation has characterized Japan's history. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, victory in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and World War I allowed Japan to expand its empire during a period of increasing militarism. The Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937 expanded into part of World War II in 1941, which came to an end in 1945 following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Since adopting its revised constitution in 1947, Japan has maintained a unitary constitutional monarchy with an emperor and an elected parliament called the Diet.

5:37Japanese elections - the communist!
Japanese elections - the communist!Japanese elections - the communist!
The Japanese elections started and campaigning will last twelve days! In the USA the presidential elections season runs for about one year. Also in the USA it is basically a two-party system. While in Japan a parliamentary system, have multiple political parties. Here are the Japanese political parties participating in the current election: Democratic Party of Japan 民主党, Minshutō Japanese Communist Party 日本共産党, Nihon Kyōsan-tō Liberal Democratic Party 自由民主党, Jiyū-Minshutō New Komeito Party 公明党, Shin Kōmeitō New Party DAICHI 新党大地 Shintō Daichi New Party Nippon 新党日本 Shintō Nippon New Renaissance Party 新党改革, Shintō Kaikaku People's New Party 国民新党 Kokumin Shintō Restoration Party 日本維新の会, Nippon Ishin no Kai Social Democratic Party 社会民主党 Shakai Minshu-tō Tomorrow Party Your Party みんなの党, Minna no Tō The "Japanese Communist Party" is rather interesting for their honesty. At least the label themselves "communist." While in the USA the communist of the 21st century masquerade themselves as the Democratic Party. Another interesting aspect: The current prime minister of Japan when seeking election a few years back made campaign promises, as all politicians do. Also as all politicians, he was not able to keep all his promises. He recently apologized for not keeping his campaign promises. That is not what all politicians do, at least not in the United States. In the USA Democratic Party presidents do not apologize for promises not kept, they just blame previous Republican presidents. Japanese Prime Minister = honorable. USA Democrat Party President = dishonorable. - Japan election article, the political parties: http://www.japanshimbun.com/201212055841/news/names-of-political-parties-leaders-for-general-election Video explaining Japanese election: http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/movie/feature201212042103.html Link to Texas Daddy store: http://texas-daddy.shop-pro.jp/ Japanese elections parliamentary elections Japans Diet Japan Prime Minister Japanese Communist Party Democratic Party parliamentary system two party system vote elections propagandabuster propaganda buster Texas Daddy Tony vlog politics analysis 日本の選挙議会選挙、日本の国会日本首相は日本共産党民主党議会制度の2大政党制の投票選挙のプロパガンダバスターテキサスダディトニー政治分析投票する

There is no word from the Japanese Prime Minister himself, but there have been mounting indications of an early ballot in the media. Shinzo Abe is widely expected to postpone a tax increase that has proved unpopular while he attempts to shore up his support. Some media reports say a ballot is being planned for next month. … READ MORE : http://www.euronews.com/2014/11/13/early-elections-and-postponement-of-tax-hike-looking-more-likely-in-japan What are the top stories today?

Japan's down with LDP: Shinzo Abe new PM after 2012 elections
Japan election 2012: Shinzo Abe, head of Japan's conservative Liberal Democratic Party, today embarked on his second term as the island nation's prime minister. Shinzo Abe returned to power after the LDP won around 300 seats in the 480-member parliament.

Japanese PM dissolves lower house of parliament, calls snap elections 일본 중의원 해
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has dissolved the lower house of Japan′s parliament, paving the way for snap elections next month. The move is raising questions over whether the shakeup will secure public support for Abe′s long-term economic reforms. Our Ji Myung-kil sheds light on the answer. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe hopes his decision to dissolve the lower house of parliament and call snap elections next month ultimately gives him a fresh mandate to push through reforms, as his signature economic policies dubbed "Abenomics" struggle to revive Japan′s ailing economy. A controversial sales tax increase lies at the center of the issue. The first hike in April, from 5 to 8 percent,... was meant to curb public debt, but instead made Japanese consumers tighten their wallets. That has be... -

Politicians kick off campaigning for Japan's upper house elections on July 21.
Full Story:
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe hoping for victory to resolve the "twisted parliament" in the July 21 poll, urged voters on Thursday (July 4) to back his ruling bloc as campaigning began.
Japan has suffered a parliamentary gridlock ever since Abe led the Liberal Democratic Party to a massive defeat in a 2007 upper house vote.
The main opposition Democratic Party of Japan faced a similar headache after sweeping to power in 2009, only to lose a 2010 upper house election.
A massive win for the party could be a mixed blessing.
It gives Abe a mandate but also bolsters the ranks of MPs who may oppose painful reforms many say are needed to revive growth.
And this may be detrimental for Japan, according to Temple University Japan's professor of Asian Studies, Jeff Kingston.
[Jeff Kingston, Professor of Asian Studies, Temple University Japan]:
"I think if the LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) wins big, they control both houses of the Diet, many members of Abe's party won't feel the great sense of urgency to adopt sweeping reforms. This means that structural reform and Abe's growth strategy are going to suffer and I think there will be a backlash in the markets."
Kingston predicts general apathy from the general public.
[Jeff Kingston, Professor of Asian Studies, Temple University Japan]:
"I expect in the upper house elections, the turnout again will be low. So it seems that a lot of voters have been turned off by the Japanese political system," he said.
Resident Shiho Hashizu echoes the sentiment that there's a lack of choice in a real opposition.
[Shiho Hashizu]:
"I don't know who to vote for. The whole of Japan seems to lack upright, hard workers. Each party lacks guts. We feel like, 'a true hero, please step forward!'"
Many wonder if Abe will shift gear to focus on constitutional reform.
Stress on his conservative agenda, including efforts to recast Japan's wartime history with a less apologetic tone, would further strain relations with China and Korea.
A win on July 21 could set the stage for the first stable, long-term administration since 2006, since no national election need be held until 2016.

"I think if the LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) wins big, they control both houses of the Diet, many members of Abe's party won't feel the great sense of urgency to adopt sweeping reforms. This means that structural reform and Abe's growth strategy are going to suffer and I think there will be a backlash in the markets."
Kingston predicts general apathy from the general public.
[Jeff Kingston, Professor of Asian Studies, Temple University Japan]:
"I expect in the upper house elections, the turnout again will be low. So it seems that a lot of voters have been turned off by the Japanese political system," he said.
Resident Shiho Hashizu echoes the sentiment that there's a lack of choice in a real opposition.
[Shiho Hashizu]:
"I don't know who to vote for. The whole of Japan seems to lack upright, hard workers. Each party lacks guts. We feel like, 'a true hero, please step forward!'"
Many wonder if Abe will shift gear to focus on constitutional reform.
Stress on his conservative agenda, including efforts to recast Japan's wartime history with a less apologetic tone, would further strain relations with China and Korea.
A win on July 21 could set the stage for the first stable, long-term administration since 2006, since no national election need be held until 2016.

Early elections in Japan are looking more likely with a senior ruling MP appearing to confirm rising speculation in the country.
There is no word from the Japanese Prime Minister himself, but there have been mounting indications of an early ballot in the media.
Shinzo Abe is widely expected to postpone a tax increase that has proved unpopular while he attempts to shore up his support.
Some media reports say a ballot is being planned for next month.

Voters in Japan are casting ballots in a key poll for half of the seats in the country's upper house of parliament. Polling was expected to close at 8:00pm (11:00 GMT) on Sunday. Final results will be known late at night or early on Monday. With approval ratings well over 60 percent seven months after he took office as prime minister, Shinzo Abe's ruling Liberal Democratic Party is expecting to further strengthen its grip on power.

The Japanese elections started and campaigning will last twelve days! In the USA the presidential elections season runs for about one year. Also in the USA it is basically a two-party system. While in Japan a parliamentary system, have multiple political parties. Here are the Japanese political parties participating in the current election:
Democratic Party of Japan 民主党, Minshutō
Japanese Communist Party 日本共産党, Nihon Kyōsan-tō
Liberal Democratic Party 自由民主党, Jiyū-Minshutō
New Komeito Party 公明党, Shin Kōmeitō
New Party DAICHI 新党大地 Shintō Daichi
New Party Nippon 新党日本 Shintō Nippon
New Renaissance Party 新党改革, Shintō Kaikaku
People's New Party 国民新党 Kokumin Shintō
Restoration Party 日本維新の会, Nippon Ishin no Kai
Social Democratic Party 社会民主党 Shakai Minshu-tō
Tomorrow Party
Your Party みんなの党, Minna no Tō
The "Japanese Communist Party" is rather interesting for their honesty. At least the label themselves "communist." While in the USA the communist of the 21st century masquerade themselves as the Democratic Party.
Another interesting aspect: The current prime minister of Japan when seeking election a few years back made campaign promises, as all politicians do. Also as all politicians, he was not able to keep all his promises. He recently apologized for not keeping his campaign promises. That is not what all politicians do, at least not in the United States.
In the USA Democratic Party presidents do not apologize for promises not kept, they just blame previous Republican presidents.
Japanese Prime Minister = honorable.
USA Democrat Party President = dishonorable.

Thermometer Reading Shoots Up at Fukushima Plant Apr. 8, 2015
Company Officials Say High Radiation Levels Prevent Them From Servicing the Broken Thermometers.
The operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is keeping a close watch on the plant's No.2 reactor after a thermometer inside its containment vessel registered a sudden jump in temperature last week.
Tokyo Electric Power Company suspects that the thermometer is malfunctioning.
The utility says one of the thermometers inside the vessel showed a sharp rise in temperature from about 20 degrees Celsius to about 70 at around 11 AM on Friday. The temperature peaked at 88.5 degrees at 5 PM on Sunday.
By 11 AM Wednesday the reading was down to 81.8 C.
TEPCO says 10 of the 36 thermometers inside the vessel have been out of commission since the nuclear accident in March 2011. 8 of the 26 still functioning thermometers have not been working properly. The thermometer with the high temperature reading is one of them.
8 thermometers near the one in question have been reading a temperature of about 20 degrees.
In February 2013, the gauge showed a temperature 30 degrees higher than the others.

MSM Finally Admits Fukushima Radiation on West Coast https://youtu.be/kRXW7UwjWv0
Published on Apr 8, 2015
While mainstream media says this is the first time radiation from Fukushima has been detected on West Coast shores, that’s simply not true. Melting starfish, dying seals and tuna with radiation 3-10 times normal level have been documented repeatedly in the 3 years since the nuclear accident in Japan.

US Lab: Fukushima Radioactivity Detected in Canada Apr. 6, 2015
US researchers say small and harmless amounts of radioactivity from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident have been detected on the west coast of Canada.
The scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution announced on Monday that samples of seawater collected from the shoreline of Ucluelet, British Columbia, in February contained trace amounts of cesium-134.
They say Fukushima would have to be the source of the radioactive cesium, as it is the only place recently where the material was produced and the substance has a 2-year half-life.
Cesium-134 has been detected in waters off the United States and Canada, but this is the first time it has been detected along a shore.
The scientists say the sample in Ucluelet contained 1.4 Becquerels per cubic meter, well below the internationally set level at which human and marine life can be affected.
They say the levels were extremely low but they will continue to carefully monitor the situation, as more sites in the region are expected to show detectable levels of cesium-134 in coming months.

While mainstream media says this is the first time radiation from Fukushima has been detected on West Coast shores, that’s simply not true. Melting starfish, dying seals and tuna with radiation 3-10 times normal level have been documented repeatedly in the 3 years since the nuclear accident in Japan.

US Lab: Fukushima Radioactivity Detected in Canada Apr. 6, 2015
US researchers say small and harmless amounts of radioactivity from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident have been detected on the west coast of Canada.
The scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution announced on Monday that samples of seawater collected from the shoreline of Ucluelet, British Columbia, in February contained trace amounts of cesium-134.
They say Fukushima would have to be the source of the radioactive cesium, as it is the only place recently where the material was produced and the substance has a 2-year half-life.
Cesium-134 has been detected in waters off the United States and Canada, but this is the first time it has been detected along a shore.
The scientists say the sample in Ucluelet contained 1.4 Becquerels per cubic meter, well below the internationally set level at which human and marine life can be affected.
They say the levels were extremely low but they will continue to carefully monitor the situation, as more sites in the region are expected to show detectable levels of cesium-134 in coming months.

Japan election 2012: Shinzo Abe, head of Japan's conservative Liberal Democratic Party, today embarked on his second term as the island nation's prime minister.
Shinzo Abe returned to power after the LDP won around 300 seats in the 480-member parliament. Former prime minister Yoshihiko Noda and his Democratic Party of Japan were booted out by voters after failing to boost the economy. Noda was perceived as weak on foreign policy. Voters were also unhappy he proposed increasing the sales tax to lower the budget deficit.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has dissolved the lower house of Japan′s parliament, paving the way for snap elections next month.
The move is raising questions over whether the shakeup will secure public support for Abe′s long-term economic reforms.
Our Ji Myung-kil sheds light on the answer.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe hopes his decision to dissolve the lower house of parliament and call snap elections next month ultimately gives him a fresh mandate to push through reforms, as his signature economic policies dubbed "Abenomics" struggle to revive Japan′s ailing economy.
A controversial sales tax increase lies at the center of the issue.
The first hike in April, from 5 to 8 percent,... was meant to curb public debt, but instead made Japanese consumers tighten their wallets.
That has been blamed in part for dismal third quarter economic figures, when gross domestic product shrank 1-point-6 percent on-year,... pushing the Japanese economy into recession.
A second sales tax increase to 10 percent was scheduled for October next year, but Abe is now hoping to delay it.
Advocates say the tax hike is needed to fund social security costs for a fast aging population.
But while the Japanese public is largely opposed to the tax increase, they are also confused about Prime Minister Abe′s tactics.
According to a survey conducted by the Asahi Shimbun,... some 62 percent did not understand why Abe had suddenly dissolved parliament.
Some 65 percent said it was inappropriate for Abe to use a snap election as a barometer of sentiment toward a second sales tax hike.
Over the election campaign period, Abe is expected to explain his government′s growth strategy and ask that people support for his Liberal Democratic Party.
Abe says he will resign if his party fails to secure a majority in the lower house of parliament in the December 14th snap elections, but despite waning public approval ratings, the LDP is widely expected to win.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe urges Russia to respect the results of the upcoming presidential elections in Ukraine.
Full story:
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Tuesday (May 6) urged Russia to respect the results of the upcoming presidential elections in Ukraine.
Speaking after a meeting at NATO's headquarters in Brussels, Abe said his country would not tolerate the use of force to end the current status-quo in Ukraine.
"Let me explain the basic position of Japan. We will not tolerate any change of status-quo through intimidation or force. This is not only applicable to Europe or Ukraine. This is applicable to East Asia and it is applicable to the whole world. This is something that the whole world has to consider. From that view point, together with G7 countries, Japan is issuing a strong message and we have come with two rounds of measures. As I said during at a NAC meeting (North Atlantic Council) on May 25, there will be a presidential election in Ukraine, and regarding the legitimacy of that election, it is important that the parties recognise the legitimacy of the result of the elections. Russia must accept the legitimacy of this election as well," Abe told journalists.
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the alliance was ready to take further steps if one of its members was to be threatened.
"Effective defence and protection of our allies remains a core task for NATO. It's been the essence of our alliance since it was established 65 years ago. It remains our core task. This is the reason why we have taken steps to reinforce collective defence through enhanced air policing over the Baltic states, deployment of AWACS (Airborne Early Warning and Control) observation air planes to improve our surveillance over Poland and Romania. You've seen more naval presence in the Black Sea. We will deploy ships to the Baltic Sea so, all in all, you have seen more aircraft in the air, more ships at sea and you have also seen deployment of personnel on the ground. And we will not hesitate to take further steps if necessary to ensure effective defence and protection of our allies," Rasmussen said.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said, together with Germany's Angela Merkel in Berlin on Wednesday (April 30), that leading industrial powers would stand united on further sanctions against Russia if needed, despite Moscow's threat to retaliate against foreign energy companies.
Both countries are struggling to strike a balance between admonishing Moscow for annexing Ukraine's Crimean peninsular and failing to control pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine, and looking after their business interests and energy supplies.
The European Union, Japan and the United States have placed visa bans and asset freezes on dozens of individuals, some close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, but have held back on wider trade sanctions despite an escalation of the crisis in Ukraine.
Both countries also emphasised the importance of Ukraine carrying out free elections on May 25 to give people the democratic choice of who should succeed pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovich, who fled Kiev in February in the midst of bloody protests.

STORYLINE:
Japan's ruling party suffered a devastating defeat in parliamentary elections on Sunday, early exit polls suggested, as voters angry at a spate of recent government scandals used the ballot box to express their dissatisfaction.
Sunday's election was the biggest test yet for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who took office less than a year ago as Japan's youngest prime minister amid soaring support ratings.
But his popularity has plunged amid public outrage over millions of lost pension records and scandals that spurred two ministers to resign and another to kill himself.
Early exit poll surveys underscored the reversal of fortunes.
Up for grabs were 121 seats in the 242-member upper house of parliament.
While last-minute surveys indicated Abe's LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) and its coalition partner the New Komei Party had been regaining ground, exit polls showed the coalition far behind the 64 seats needed to keep its majority.
The secretary-general of Japan's ruling party said exit polls suggested utter defeat for his party.
"I feel that we could not stop the headwind against us. We did our utmost to fight this election, but we could not convince the public of issues such as money in politics and remarks made in the past," said Hidenao Nakagawa, speaking to reporters at the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's Tokyo headquarters.
The loss, however, wouldn't directly threaten the political grip of the Liberal Democratic Party, which has ruled Japan in an almost unbroken succession of administrations since it was formed in 1955.
The upper house is largely ceremonial, and the LDP keeps control over the lower house, which chooses the prime minister and can override most votes in the upper house.
Abe accepted responsibility for the crushing defeat, but indicated he would not step down as prime minister.
Nakagawa, meanwhile, was poised to resign to take responsibility for the loss, Kyodo News agency reported.
Opposition leaders immediately jumped on the results as proof the tide had turned against Abe.
