I wonder if it's getting old, or if it won't work anymore."
Kiyomi Tsujimoto made such a weak comment immediately after the day of the Tokyo gubernatorial election in July 2024.
The media covered this statement extensively.
The media covered it extensively because it was the true intention of most of the established political parties, whether ruling or opposition. Or perhaps it could be said that he was expressing his own sense of crisis, wondering whether the media, including newspapers and television, had become equally old-fashioned.
The House of Representatives election and the Hyogo Prefecture gubernatorial election followed, making 2012 the “first year” in which the influence of social networking services became clearly visible. Discourses, rumors, and even outright falsehoods were spread. A “two-horsepower election” also appeared.
But it is precisely in these desperate times that we must find a glimmer of hope. Japanese politics is beset with a number of serious problems and cannot afford to stand still.
The declining birthrate, women and politics, politics and money.
The situation is piling up to the point where democracy is in jeopardy.
In this debate, Tsujimoto, a member of the House of Councillors who continues to stand at the forefront of politics, and Kaoru Kozuka, who sharply confronts power as the first editorial director of “Nikkan Gendai,” get to the heart of the matter.
Tsujimoto: We don't need hereditary Diet members wearing "glass high clogs.
Kozuka: If criticism is not allowed, it is an abandonment of the role of monitoring power.
The book also includes two unique trilogies on the global theme of the fate of human beings as living organisms, one with the biologist and ecologist Koichi Goka, and the other with the critic and writer Keihira Furuya, who elucidates the realities of social networking services.

「もう古くなったのかな、もう通用せえへんのかな」
2024年7月の東京都知事選挙の投開票日直後、辻元清美はそんな弱音を漏らした。
各メディアは、この発言を大きく取り上げた。
なぜなら、その言葉は与党・野党を問わず、おそらくほとんどの既成政党の本音だったからである。あるいは新聞、テレビといったメディアも同じように古くなったか、との自らの危機意識を表したとも言えようか。
さらに衆議院選、そして兵庫県知事選と続き、24年はSNSの影響力が明確に見えた「元年」だ。陰謀論というべき言説や真偽不明な噂話、さらには露骨なデマが拡散された。「二馬力選挙」も登場した。
しかし、このような絶望的な状況下でこそ、希望の光を見つけなければならない。日本政治はいくつもの重大問題を抱え、立ち止まっている余裕はないのだ。
少子化、女性と政治、政治とカネ――。
民主主義を危うくする事態が山積している。
政界の最前線に立ち続ける辻元参議院議員と、「日刊ゲンダイ」第一編集局長として筆鋒鋭く権力と対峙する小塚かおるが、問題の核心を衝く討論を繰り広げる。
辻元・「ガラスの高下駄」を履いた世襲議員なんか要らない。
小塚・批判がダメなら、権力監視の役割放棄です。
生物としての人間の宿命という地球的テーマで、生物・生態学者の五箇公一氏との、そしてSNSの実態を解明する評論家・作家の古谷経衡氏との、異色の各鼎談も収録。
