Doing something unique in Japanese society is odd. The governor of Tokyo discusses working in journalism, preparing for an ultra-aging society, and female empowerment. Women need to choose between having a career or family; Japan is more chauvinistic and rigid than the United States.
The costs associated with hosting the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics are enormous. Koike discusses promoting a future vision for Japan and visiting the Rio Olympics. Students need to be more courageous and dynamic.
