First Woman or Youngest Man

3/October/2025 in Kraków

Tomorrow, the next prime minister of Japan will be chosen

I haven't witnessed such an epoch-making leadership race for a long time

Around 9am(CEST), the final result will be known


Whoever wins,
I don’t expect immediate, fundamental changes to the society & its people

Yet, the initial impact must be considerable

If Takeuchi is chosen, then
Japan will have its first-ever female prime minister (historic)

If Koizumi is chosen, then
Japan will see younger, in fact almost youngest leader (44 y.o.)

Either way,
they will certainly bring a fresh air to the country, at least for a while, if not longer
