The state of emergency has been issued from 25th April. Shopping center, movie theaters, museums and any other entertainment places are closed. From next week we are going to be on consecutive national holidays, what we call “golden week, however a lot of service companies will be hit economical damage.

I had to be out today. When I walked near one of the larger parks in Tokyo, a lot of people were spending time with their families and relaxing. Kids were innocently running and smiling. The weather was best in the spring warm day and blue sky.

Some broadcast said there were crowded in other area in Tokyo.

But I do not want to blame people are outside for now.

Such a state of emergency or “STAY HOME” message from the government do not have effect any longer.

Let me introduce more one news. There were national elections to fill vacancy on three areas, and government party lost all candidates.

It might imply some movement in the future.
