Everyone listening, get angry together. NEW! Akiko Oishi

These are words spoken on January 26, 2026, during Hodo Station, where leaders of each party appeared ahead of the 51st House of Representatives election.

They were said while criticizing Prime Minister Takaichi for choosing dissolution rather than a mass resignation, despite the ruling parties facing various problems such as the LDP’s slush fund scandal and the Japan Innovation Party’s avoidance of national health insurance.

It was striking to see them fulfill their role as the opposition by trying to prompt the public to consider whether it is acceptable to continue with the current administration.
