In this episode, we delve into Japan's demographic crisis, where a declining birthrate and aging population pose significant challenges.  We explore the government's latest attempt to address this issue with a new bill.

We will also examine the population disparities across Japan, focusing on the concentration of residents in Tokyo and neighboring prefectures, and the struggles faced by rural areas.

I hope this episode will provide you with insight on the complexities of Japan's demographic dilemma.

Opening & ending song for today's episode:

The above link will take you to the trailer of the latest movie of "DORAEMON", for which this song was created.  It runs on the end-roll of the movie.   It's so fitting to the story of the movie.  This, by the way, was one of my favorite DORAEMON  movies.

Enjoy!
