27.07.2026 ⇢ The Day Keigo Higashino Died
⌨
The death of mystery writer Keigo Higashino at 68 from colon cancer dominated the day's headlines, with NHK, Asahi, Yomiuri, Sankei, TBS, and Chunichi all leading with the news. Tributes and retrospectives on his career, including his 14-year path to breakthrough while working as an engineer in Aichi, filled evening editions. Prime Minister Takaichi's press conference on the closing of the extraordinary Diet session was the other major story. She highlighted a 100% government bill passage rate—only the fourth time since WWII—and pledged to quickly submit a bill to cut the consumption tax on food to 1% from April 2027, following a National Council decision. Her approval rating had sunk to 57–58% in polls the previous day. Extreme heat continued in western Japan, with Kyushu recording its first-ever 'severe heat day,' while record heavy rain hit Niigata, Toyama, and Nagano, triggering landslide alerts. Other stories included a Fukuoka assembly bribery scandal, Hokkaido University's apology over Ainu remains, and a police raid on a Kyoto high school over a fatal boat accident.
