As far as my two cents go, <a href="http://shisaku.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><em>Shisaku</em></a> is a must-read for anyone interested in Japanese politics. If you're not paid for what you do, you should be. Thanks for the congratulations. With any luck, we'll actually get around to what we're trying to do one day - maybe even do it well.

Then I heard the Mrs. shout from the living room: "Would he stop saying that?! What does it even mean?!" (I doubt it'll be a big surprise, but I'm married to a lady who can't stand the LDP.) In other words, although I'm pretty sure even he has no idea what it means, Abe's still saying "Beautiful Country." He does seem to be moving away from it, though. I personally have heard it only once this week. We'll be back soon with TPR News and a Seijigiri to talk about the new Cabinet. I'm hopeful. Thanks for listening, for the kind words, and for the links. I hope What Japan Thinks keeps going strong, too. Yours is one of the very few sites I check on a daily basis.

You're the first and only podcast I listen to regularly. Looking forward to the same great output in the coming year too! BTW: What about Abe's new cabinet? I saw him on the telly this morning and he didn't mention "Beautiful Japan", instead went on about regional disparity, 地方格差. Has he given up that slogan? Congrats guys!

If you'd told me a year ago we'd have listeners as far away as Colombia, I wouldn't have believed it. Your support and congratulations mean a lot to us. Thanks for linking to us so often over the past year, too. Thanks, Julian. If you’d told me a year ago we’d have listeners as far away as Colombia, I wouldn’t have believed it.
