Sanseito aims to realize its policy goals by positioning itself as an ally to a popular prime minister while targeting her left-leaning party colleagues at the ballot box. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/29/japan/politics/sanseito-election/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #sanseito #soheikamiya #sanaetakaichi #shigeruishiba #ldp #2026lowerhouseelection

In Japan, political parties’ origins and backers are more consistent indicators of their leanings, rather than the left-right labels that apply more conveniently in the U.S. and Europe. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/27/japan/politics/explainer-political-parties-labeling/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #ldp #cdp #nipponishin #jcp #dpp #komeito #sanseito #sanaetakaichi #yoshihikonoda #yuichirotamaki #tetsuosaito #fumitakefujita #tomokotamura #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

#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."

Sanseito, a relatively new opposition party, is touting “Japanese First,” a stance that appears to have resonated with conservative voters who previously threw their support behind the Democratic Party for the People. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/01/japan/politics/sanseito-upper-house-election/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #2025upperhouseelection #sanseito #dpp #soheikamiya #saya #mizuhoumemura
