⛳️ Great Golf Weather and Key News: Checking PM Takaichi's Remarks!【Tuesday, November 11, 2025】 🌞 A Refreshing Start to the Morning!

 

Good morning, everyone! 😊

The sky here in Kikugawa today, November 11th (Tuesday), is a magnificent blue! Just as forecasted, the chance of rain is, of course, 0%. It looks like the perfect condition for golf!

The daytime high will be a comfortable 19°C, but the air is quite dry. Don't forget your lip balm and hand cream for your skin and lips! Remember to stay hydrated during your round to protect your throat 😉

🇯🇵 Reflections on Yesterday’s News

Now, the most attention-grabbing news from Japan yesterday (November 10, 2025) was, as expected, related to "Prime Minister Takaichi's Remarks."

In particular, the PM's stance not to retract her remarks regarding a "Situation of Existential Threat" concerning a Taiwan contingency was a major headline. The opposition parties have voiced strong disapproval, calling it "a decision to enter war," and the debate in the Diet is expected to be heated.

There was also the case where PM Takaichi directly admonished Okinawa and Northern Territories Minister Kawada for his inappropriate comment about the Northern Territories being "the closest place to a foreign country." In the world of politics, even a single word can cause a huge ripple, so we must keep our eyes on the news.
