Sanae Takaichi, a new president is born. And that person who is turning into C-3PO.

Finally, Japan has seen the birth of its first female Prime Minister in constitutional history, Sanae Takaichi.
Well, it has been a long road to get here.
When it comes to the Liberal Democratic Party up until now, it has been all about factions, collusion, and vested interests...
A political landscape that seems to still be dragging the afterimages of the Showa era behind it.
Amidst all that, Ms. Takaichi is apparently a proponent of aggressive fiscal policy and a reformer.
They say it feels like we can see a tiny, just a tiny, glimmer of hope.
That said, expectation and anxiety are two sides of the same coin.
After all, this country has been betrayed by the word "reformer" many times in the past.
For votes, for factions, for Keidanren, for the Ministry of Finance, for slush funds... before we knew it, the people were left behind.
If she could really put the people first this time, I would applaud her.
Well, to begin with, I don't really like the phrase "something-something first" anyway...
...well, never mind.
More than that, what has been strangely bothering me lately is Yoshihide Suga.
Every time I see him on the news, his expression is like a robot.
Expressionless, emotionless, matter-of-fact... it's like he's completely become C-3PO.
He may not be painted gold, but the way he speaks and that inorganic atmosphere make it reach the level where a "beep-boop" sound effect plays in my head.

No, in all seriousness, it would be better to let him rest a little.
Or rather, wouldn't it be fine for him to retire?
Just say, "Thank you for your hard work." I think it's fine for Gasu to be in retirement mode now.
I believe politics is something done by flesh-and-blood humans, not by clockwork machines.

It must be a grueling job, after all.
Now, they say a huge mission of reviving Japan awaits the new Prime Minister.
Can she really abandon the politics of the past, like C-3PO, and leave it behind?

It seems we have no choice but to watch carefully to see what happens next.
For now, shall we see how you handle things? Sanae-chan.
