The original copy of the revised Imperial House Law, which will come into effect on October 24th, has been released at the National Archives of Japan, and it has become clear that handling it with bare hands is the best way to preserve the material. This amendment, the first full-scale reform since 1947, focuses on preserving the status of female members of the imperial family and adopting male members of former imperial families.

One week left until voting in the Okinawa Prefectural gubernatorial election. As the debate over the relocation of the U.S. military's Futenma Air Base to Henoko fades, the ``sense of distance between the country and Okinawa'' has emerged as a new point of contention. The one-on-one battle between newcomer Genta Furusa (42) and incumbent Denny Tamashiro (66) gets heated. Koja appealed, ``Stop making the country the bad guy,'' and Tamaki countered, ``Let me make it clear that it's not okay.'' The election situation has become complicated, with ripples from the unification of conservatives and the loss of the "all Okinawa" banner.

The departure of Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Yoshimasa Hayashi is attracting attention as Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi plans to reshuffle the cabinet and reshuffle Liberal Democratic Party executives from the 16th to 18th. Mr. Hayashi continues to travel to local areas and appears to be considering running for party leadership next fall, and there is a view that it will be difficult for him to run if he remains in the cabinet. The focus will be on the decisions of the prime minister and Hayashi.

The basis for the calculation of cost-effectiveness (B/C) presented by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to the ruling party regarding the selection of the Tsuruga-Shin-Osaka route for the Hokuriku Shinkansen has been revealed. The B/C for the Obama-Kyoto route (Katsuragawa plan) was 0.5, which was lower than the 0.7 for the partially direct plan for the Maibara route, but it became clear that the assumptions were disadvantageous to other routes. The ruling party decided to proceed with the plan based on Katsuragawa's proposal. Experts have pointed out that it is inappropriate.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism calculated the cost-benefit ratio (B/C) of extending the Hokuriku Shinkansen and supported the Obama-Kyoto route promoted by the Liberal Democratic Party. However, it has been revealed that a method that experts question is questionable, and that the standard timing was changed for each route. The Ishin no Kai had recommended the Maibara route, but in the end the Obama-Kyoto route was adopted.

The South Korean government has begun considering US President Trump's request to dispatch troops to the Strait of Hormuz. While aiming to improve U.S.-South Korea relations, there are voices of opposition from the reform camp within the country, and the implementation of the dispatch, which requires the approval of the National Assembly, carries great political risk for the administration.
