Greetings /japan/,
I have been watching various videos, and one of them is currently embedded.
I don't know how widespread the knowledge of the subject is but I guess it's better making sure it is than not doing anything.
tl;dw: You should watch it, but the subject is about Japan's change in economy in the last 50 years or so, and how different economical crisis was engineered for those changes to be made.
This is also related to TPP (not the game, the Trans-Pacific "Partnership") where one of the clauses was to allow any asset, land, company, even banks, to be bought by foreign investors. Hopefully you rejected it a few months ago, but they will come back.
With this economy change it's easier to crash it and devalue any assets so that practically all the country can be bought by an external company.
Now I'm not a specialist in economy, I dabble at it, but I've heard about a lot of different events talked in the video and also about the 'finance jackals' buying debts, etc, and since you can more easily read japanese than me, you could check for yourselves about those different points.
Some related subversion tactics can be seen here:

The same guy talking a bit more about his life and work, related to said subversion tactics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3qkf3bajd4
I know the subject is heavy and all in english, but at least the main video has japanese subtitles.
I hope that you will spread the word, the more people know about it, the more you as a people can vote the right way, and with chances, some higher-up that can influence things in some way could help also.
I don't want Japan to become like Europe, or Sweden, and when/if I ever visit you guys, I hope that I won't be visiting Africa.
