I wish I could say better late than never but I don't think near enough realize the doo doo that Japan is in & gets deeper by the day.
Japanese are pretty fatalistic so it will likely get much worse before any real attempts at change start & its already VERY late as it is, sadly

Stay away from the elite and do your own thing and that includes TPP.

Japanese people are already third rate citizens thanks to the greedy government policies regarding pension payments and minimum wages, welfare, hospital treatment etc.
