Welcome
to another edition of the Japan Considered Podcast. I'm here again at
Sesquicentennial State Park, "narrow-casting" from our Little Tin
House, Aliner. Which has become something of a mobile studio.
Hopefully, the sound this week will be better. Since we have several
important topics to cover.
First, we'll consider passage of
a Constitutional Referendum Bill through the Lower House, and its
significance. Then we'll shift to post-election assessment of the
prefectural and local unified elections held Sunday. What they tell us
about Japan's political future. If anything. And finally, we'll
consider the visit of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to Japan. What was
accomplished. And what remains.
As always, send me your
comments and suggestions for the program at RobertCAngel@gmail.com. I
read them all, and try to respond to each one. Visit the Japan
Considered Project website at www.JapanConsidered.com. Not much
progress this week. But I was able to record an excellent interview
with Gregg Rubinstein earlier in the week that will go up as soon as
time permits. |
