『自民党 総裁選』にひろゆき参戦します!!

Hiroyuki joins a live LDP leadership debate on September 27, questioning whether Japan’s ruling party can actually change.

• Hiroyuki will appear in person at the September 27 LDP leadership debate, co-broadcast on his channel and the official LDP channel.\n- The LDP lost majorities in both the lower and upper houses; only LDP members and politicians vote in the leadership race that picks Japan’s next PM.\n- Hiroyuki rated himself high on the list of people who have attacked LDP politicians, and was surprised the anti-Hiroyuki faction inside the LDP did not block his involvement.\n- Japan’s population falls roughly 800,000 per year (~0.5%), shrinking the domestic market at the same rate — wages cannot rise in that environment.\n- Trump’s auto tariffs (cited at 27%) make the PM-Trump personal relationship economically critical; Hiroyuki points to the US Steel deal as proof Japan’s diplomatic access delivers real results.\n- Japan’s largest trading partner is China; Hiroyuki argues the next PM must manage that relationship without sacrificing it to US pressure.\n- Hiroyuki invoked Koizumi Junichiro’s ‘destroy the LDP’ playbook as the benchmark for genuine reform, and doubted any current candidate matches it.\n- He predicted the LDP would pull him from the broadcast after the video went public — and joked that Japan worsening after the debate would partly be his fault.
