Every country in the world naturally has an anti-espionage law. A country that cannot—or will not—do something so obvious is unacceptable.NEW!Haruo Kitamura

When we occasionally see news reports like “Spies from such-and-such country…,” some of us might think, “Spies? Isn’t that just in the movies?” In neighboring China, not only is there an Anti-Espionage Law, but also a Cybersecurity Law and a Data Security Law, strictly protecting national interests.

The United States, Russia, and others also safeguard their national information and peace with severe penalties.

Hearing that, many people may wonder, “Is Japan going to be okay…?” The question of “Why not enact laws related to espionage?” has been debated for quite some time, but what will actually happen remains uncertain.

The day to change my name is near.NEW!Haruo Kitamura

This phrase is a brief but powerful message that signals “the signs of change or reform.” It expresses the idea that long-standing systems and customs should be reviewed when necessary.

For younger generations, it teaches the mindset of not simply accepting the status quo, but believing in the possibility of improvement and reform and taking action.

Symbolically, “changing the name” conveys the importance of updating systems and structures to fit the times.

Having the courage to change old rules and institutions when needed may be the first step toward building a better society.

It’s far too harsh to say that only the Diet—only politics—keeps failing to solve problems with any sense of speed.NEW!Haruo Kitamura

This is a comment made when calling for an extraordinary Diet session, arguing that a political vacuum has arisen because the Diet has not been convened as moves toward the LDP presidential election intensified in September 2025.

It criticizes the LDP for refusing to move politics forward due to internal infighting, even though the public is living in circumstances where they must respond swiftly to the pressing issues before them in order to get by.

Hearing this comment—which stands with the people who fight every day—clearly conveys that Mr.

Kitamura is engaged in political activities for the sake of the citizens.

Using social media to share Diet questions and our work in the Diet—if it’s persuasive enough, we live in an era where it has the power to sway public opinion.NEW!Haruo Kitamura

These words emphasize the power of information dissemination.

It’s a distinctly modern perspective: not just asking questions in parliament or taking action, but conveying them clearly through social media and other channels to influence many people and shape public opinion.

It also shows younger generations that by sharing their own ideas and actions, they have a chance to spark change in their immediate society and communities.

The key points are persuasiveness and the ability to act.

If you communicate your actions and ideas clearly on social media, even a small voice might have the power to move society.

Japan is still in time.NEW!Haruo Kitamura

In his speech, Mr.

Haruo Kitamura touched on the Anti-Espionage Law, using these words to convey that while he urges the public to feel a sense of urgency, it is not too late.

Mr.

Kitamura is known as a lawyer for the Japan Conservative Party and is well-versed in security issues.

That is precisely why his sense of crisis is strong and why he spoke out out of concern for Japan’s future.

Timing is crucial in everything.

There are actually many cases where things become irreparable while we sit on our hands.

In today’s world, where information is particularly saturated, the ability to quickly discern accurate information and take action will likely become an essential skill.

Both the economy and the lives of the people are on the verge of being destroyed. Amid this, Japan’s culture is also on the verge of being destroyed.NEW!Haruo Kitamura

In his speech, Haruo Kitamura made this remark: When asked who is on the verge of destroying it, the answer is the Ishiba administration.

He apparently spoke out by raising concerns about the acceptance of foreigners and the acquisition of nationality.

It is only natural that problems will arise if more people from abroad—whose cultures and lifestyles differ—come into the country.

Japan has its own rules, and if those are not observed, the lives of its citizens will ultimately be threatened.

This is a memorable statement that appeals to the fact that this is an issue that must be considered not only by politicians but by each and every citizen who actually lives here.

When I die, that person will say they’re truly sad that I’m gone. A life like that would be the best, right?NEW!Haruo Kitamura

When he was in junior high school, Kitamura’s baseball team was disbanded for an unreasonable reason, which left him feeling deeply frustrated.

That experience seems to have given rise to his later conviction: “I will not bow to unfairness.” Though Kitamura may appear cool, he’s actually a passionate person.

Many people have probably felt their hearts stirred by the words spoken by such a passionate Kitamura.

Do you have someone who truly cares about you? These are words that teach us the importance of living in a way that makes someone genuinely think of you.
