Hirano Taichi @ fancy_karate This is a great photo. They are really great.

40,000 people are now in front of the residence of the prime-minister in Japan. Protests are mainly focused on the government’s plans for military reforms, which would turn Japan back to fascism, back to being a war mongering country. War should be against those in the palaces, they say. This signals a shift in the security policy, since it’s based on an interpretation of the constitution by the government as the cabinet alone having the right to adopt any change in the security policy. See more here, in Japanese. People also protest against nukes, and those capitalists’ exploitation of workers, “who are forced to overwork until they commit suicide”.

This protest is organised, they say, as collective self-defence against the ruling power, against the unlawful enterprise, high tuition fees; they demand the repayment of scholarship; and they also speak up against those who are forcing workers “to overwork until they commit suicide”. One of the speakers at this protest is Kira Yoshiko from the Communist Party.
