The Facebook-based Japanese Politics group is a gold mine of news and commentary. Michael Penn, head of the Shingetsu News Agency (FB Page) and frequent commentator for various news services always has important insights into Japanese politics. The website too should not be missed, especially if you are not on Facebook.
From the website, I have chosen to highlight a few of the recent stories, which are categorized as follows:
Politics, International, Economy, Technology, Society and Series
Among the most recent stories:
Constitutional Democrats Make All the Right Moves
Henoko: A Needless Military Base
Working the Japanese People to Death
The Democracy Free US-Japan Alliance
TEPCO and the Democratization of Energy Markets
North Korea is “Nuclear Weapons State”—Wait. What?
Remilitarizing Japanese Universities
Another way to get a feel for what Shingetsu News offers is to visit their YouTube page. Should you want to help Shingetsu News Agency reach more people, they have a funding appeal on Patreon.
