On May 10, according to reports, an article was published on May 9 titled "Why is Japan Experiencing a Wave of Anti-War Protests? The Public Protests Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's Departure from the Peace Constitution."

The article notes that the call for "No War" has grown increasingly strong across Japan recently, with this slogan appearing in what is described as the country's largest protest in nearly a decade. Demonstrators are opposing a series of actions by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi aimed at altering Japan's decades-long pacifist stance.

The report details several military policy adjustments implemented by Sanae Takaichi since taking office in October last year, including lifting a long-standing ban on weapons exports and deploying long-range missiles in the southwestern region. While Japan has been gradually adjusting its constitutionally mandated anti-war position for many years, the policies of the Takaichi administration have sparked public concern over the erosion of the post-war pacifist tradition. Protesters have explicitly stated their desire for Japan to maintain its pacifist stance and current constitution, and have called for Sanae Takaichi's resignation.

The article analyzes that in Japan, a society that values order, large-scale protests are inherently uncommon. The current protests, under the slogan "The Peace Constitution is Japan's Treasure," exhibit two notable characteristics: first, the participation numbers are the highest in nearly a decade; second, the age range of participants is broad, including both older generations who experienced World War II and the atomic bombings, as well as young people in their twenties and thirties. These young protesters believe their futures are closely tied to the developments and have organized and mobilized through social media, with their relatable image attracting more peers to participate.

On May 8, attention was also given to Japan's "anti-war" sentiments. A report described scenes from the streets of Tokyo: crowds gathered in heavy rain, holding up signs and flags soaked by the downpour, with one flag reading "No War." The report notes that this anti-war sentiment is continuing to rise in Japan, with the country currently experiencing its largest anti-war protests in decades.

The report emphasizes that as concerns grow over Japan potentially becoming a "nation capable of war," the protests are intensifying. In Japanese society, when large numbers of people take to the streets, it often indicates deeper underlying social issues.
