TBS reported a comment made on the street by a 19-year-old who said, "On the internet and social media, it seems like people are calling her Sanae-chan and 'pushing the Prime Minister,' and I feel a bit scared because there is a social trend where if you express an opposing opinion to Sanae Takaichi, you will be criticized."

…was that a completely literal translation of 推し? Who does that?
She just has to get married and then she will lose her idol status /s
“there is a social trend where if you express an opposing opinion to Sanae Takaichi, you will be criticized.”
Which is no doubt how Takaichi wants it.
Sounds eerily like the Japan of 90-odd years ago.
Japanese originally tend to prefer an idol and hates every kinds of organization.
Because nothing she does help her case. Mostly about talking, at least for now.
Idols might work harder
Let the spiral continue. I worry for some of y’all that invested heavy in Japan only for it to admonish you
The comments on Japanese social media are dreadful… Calling her “Chinese”, and accusing her of being a communist just for voicing a dissonant opinion.
Lol none of it is changing these kids’ 250,009 yen salary
God bless Japan, turning into a fascist state
what do you expect from a generation that can be fooled easily to fool with AI stuff and TikTok.🙃
It’s weird that politicians haven’t gotten in on the 推し活 craze until now.
Japan going back to a confucian Buddhists and shinto honour system.
Jeezuz. It took me three clicks to realise the play button was just an image.
Young folks liking populists is a worldwide phenomenon.
