(If this holds) Stunning advance for the LDP (+123!), stunning implosion for the CRA (-122!), very real shift rightwards. Every center/center-left party lost seats, with Reiwa going down to zero. Something to say for the JCP holding on, but -5 really hurts. Sansei gained 9, Ishin gained 1.

The most underrated force over the last few years of Japanese politics is generational change. The end of Boomer domination of the society and its politics, people for whom high-growth era was "normal".

Can Sanae Takaichi govern Japan on star power alone?
The new prime minister has revived the LDP, which had looked as if it might collapse. But if she wins this week’s elections, she will face harsh realities

Fun Zeppelin fact: every German military rigid airship had a bow gun emplacement with usually 3 Maxim machine guns.
This might well have been the worst job in the entire First World War. They had to fight cold, 90kph winds, altitude sickness as well as interceptors.
