Sanae Takaichi has secured a supermajority of more than two-thirds in the Lower House after calling snap elections in just 16 days. An unprecedented result that gives her enormous political power… and could open the door to something that has seemed impossible since 1947: reforming Japan’s Constitution.

Are we witnessing Japan’s “restoration”?

In this video, we analyze:

🇯🇵 How the Liberal Democratic Party went from its second-worst historical result to a crushing victory.

📈 Why Takaichi enjoys popularity above 75% (and over 90% among young people).

💴 The ambitious—and controversial—economic plan that has made markets nervous.

⚔️ What it would mean to amend the famous Article 9, the one that enshrines Japanese pacifism.

🇨🇳 And how rising tensions with China and the defense of Taiwan could reshape the balance of power in Asia.

For decades, Japan has been an economic powerhouse with a restrained military role.

But that may be about to change.

Will we see the end of pacifist Japan?

Can Takaichi fulfill her promises without triggering an economic crisis?

And what role will China, the United States, and the Japanese Senate play in all of this?

We break it all down in this video.
