Japan still suffers its aftershocks, which unveiled many other problems.
As a Japanese entrepreneur, Daisuke Iwase wrote in Washington Post,
The Political Fault Lines of Japan, much of faulty-ness of Japanese society
is in the system itself. In other words, it is not up to the effort of individual
to reform the state of nation, but it is the structure, regulations, or perhaps
mindsets redesigned in order to achieve the sustainable profitability as a country.
As I wrote it in the last entry, the geographical advantage of Japan cannot be greater than anywhere
else on this planet. With a close face-up to the regions that are growing in next 50 years,
I believe that there definitely a greater deed as a nation.
But before that, we need to get ourselves together.
Nobody is raising the hands when should, even the leader.
I mean, look, who the hell is in charge of country and for how long?
The leader of country is someone who, at least by definition, take the "full responsibility"
of country; someone who can put together opposing ideology; someone who runs it for... at
least... more than a year.
Somehow it reminded of a Dyaln's song.
I shall call it as "It Ain't Me Syndrome". As long as people conveys the political apathy,
we will only be witness of the Asian prosperity happening on distant shore.
Although the political leadership is a sensitive and tough thing, Japan must take an initiative
as one of few developed nations in Asia. Now is the time for Japan to take a little advantage
of being sandwiched by United States and Asian Continental Nations.
Leadership can only derived from strong assertions.
Lack of assertion can become a major fault line of Japan's leadership, and its future.
However, to make Japanese people assertive is not an easy task.
Some claims it is due to the country's morality or religiosity.
Assuming that religious people are more likely to have a better sense of morality,
surprisingly, 70% of Japanese people believe that they are "non-religious".
The way I see it is Japan is simply an ethnically homogeneous nation.
I will not explain further, but this can explain a lot.

Never before the country has faced the challenges that would take a "fundamental"
transformation. If we do not take action, we will see the same problems over and over.
And it is that our each hand, and our each step that will build the shape of our future.
