19.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Takaichi Sent an Offering to Yasukuni
⌨

Morning opened with Prime Minister Takaichi sending a private-funds offering to Yasukuni Shrine for its autumn festival without visiting, while land minister Ibayashi visited in person. Parliament turned to the Upper House Budget Committee with Takaichi and all ministers questioned on the economy and social security, against polls showing 59% backing her active fiscal policy and continued scrutiny over the Yan dismissal and personnel picks.

Attention lingered on Yokohama where newcomer Harasawa's defeat of ex-mayor Yamanaka over the harassment scandal was dissected, with Sansei-backed Fukuyama finishing second.

Midday shifted to Fujisawa, Kanagawa where a car driven by a 77-year-old man hit oncoming cars and a tour bus, killing a 77-year-old woman and injuring 13 others.

Evening coverage turned abroad to France riots with 1,500 shops damaged and spillover protests in Milan and Brussels.
