My Take
Born in Katsushika — old Tokyo, the kind of shitamachi neighborhood where people still feel genuinely rooted — and then off to Waseda to sharpen that upbringing into something more, there's a certain arc to Shinji Takeuchi that I find oddly compelling. He's a Pisces born in 1964, right at the tail end of Japan's high-growth era, which means he grew up watching a country that had already done its big sprint and was figuring out what came next. Politicians aren't easy to warm up to as a general rule, but the ones who come from places with real texture — not polished suburbs, but actual lived-in streets — tend to at least have some instinct for what ordinary life feels like. Whether he's lived up to that potential, I genuinely can't say with certainty, but the backstory has the bones of someone worth watching.
