Adding to the shock of this year's Upper House elections was the surge in votes for Sanseito, a far-right populist party that campaigned on a mix of tax cutting, vaccine skepticism and restrictions on immigration. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/03/japan/politics/sanseito-foreigners-populist/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #sanseito #ldp #socialmedia #foreignworkers #soheikamiya

Japan's far-right Sanseito party has set up an international arm to court U.S. President Donald Trump's allies, betting that global conservative recognition will help it shake up staid Japanese politics. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/01/japan/politics/sanseito-seeks-global-recognition/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #sanseito #2025upperhouseelection #soheikamiya #stevebannon #charliekirk

参政党は極右で反移民であるだけでなく、ユダヤ資本も非難

さきの参議院選挙で15議席獲得の大躍進した参政党のリーダー、神谷宗幣は「反ユダヤ」ではないと言うが、選挙期間中に配られたパンフレットには「ユダヤ系金融業者がコロナに対する恐怖を焚きつけ利益を上げた。参政党は、日本をユダヤ資本に売ることはない」と書かれている。同党は、トランプのキャッチフレーズを真似た「Japanese First」を使って支持を集めてきた。

神谷氏のYouTubeチャンネルでは、マスク着用やワクチン接種など公衆衛生施策に反対し、世界のリベラルエリートたちが日本の安全保障と伝統文化を弱体化させようとしている」という陰謀論を展開する。今月初め、記者会見に出席したユダヤ人記者によると、神谷氏は「反ユダヤ（antisemitic）」ではないと主張する。その根拠として、「ユダヤ人の友人がいて、日本イスラエル親善協会の会員でもあった。そのため、ユダヤ人の傀

#Japan’s #FarRight party makes electoral gains with anti-globalist message

Japan’s #Sanseito party wins big with ‘#JapaneseFirst’ push and #AntiImmigration rhetoric.

20 Jul 2025

Excerpt: "Japan’s far-right Sanseito party has emerged as a major winner in the country’s upper house election, riding a wave of #nationalist rhetoric, anti-immigration warnings and populist pledges on tax cuts and social welfare.

"Once seen as a fringe movement born on YouTube during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sanseito was projected on Sunday by national broadcaster NHK to secure up to 22 seats in the 248-member chamber, dramatically expanding its presence beyond the single seat it held previously.

"The party, which only holds three seats in the more powerful lower house, has broken into the political mainstream by capitalising on voter frustration over economic decline and rising living costs.

"Sanseito leader #SoheiKamiya, a 47-year-old former English teacher and supermarket manager, has been at the forefront of this shift. He has stirred controversy with conspiracy theories about vaccines and 'globalist elites' and openly credits US President #DonaldTrump’s 'bold political style' as inspiration.

"According to an exit poll by local media, Japan’s governing coalition is likely to lose its majority in the upper house where it is forecast to secure 32 to 51 seats.
‘#JapanFirst’ movement

"In an interview with Nippon Television after the election, #Kamiya defended his 'Japanese First' slogan.

" 'The phrase was meant to express rebuilding Japanese people’s livelihoods by resisting globalism. I am not saying we should completely ban foreigners or that every foreigner should get out of Japan,' he said.

"Despite his denial of #xenophobia, Sanseito has built its platform on fears of a 'silent invasion' by #immigrants. Political analysts say this message resonates with many Japanese voters facing a stagnant economy and weakening yen, which has drawn record numbers of tourists and fuelled inflation."
