My Take
Honestly, the first thing that hits me when I hear "politician" is some weathered veteran with a gravelly voice, so seeing Hajime Sono born in 1993 genuinely caught me off guard — in the best way. Growing up in Yokohama and then grinding through Waseda's School of Political Science and Economics is already a serious résumé, but plenty of people take that kind of pedigree and coast straight into a comfortable corporate life. He didn't. He walked into politics, which is, let's be real, one of the messiest, most thankless arenas you can choose in Japan or anywhere else. There's something quietly impressive about a guy in his early thirties deciding that's where he wants to put his energy. I don't know all the details of his platform yet, but the sheer fact that someone from this generation is showing up and doing the work instead of watching from the sidelines — that earns some respect from me. I'm genuinely curious where he goes from here.
