Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe immediately came to be known for his aggressive policies and willingness to do 'whatever it takes' to revive Japan's stagnating economy. This includes the forced resignation of the previous governor of the Central Bank of Tokyo, so that Abe could appoint a new leader.
The new governor, a right-wing financial hawk, has also vowed to do whatever it takes to save Japan. He plans on first reversing deflation (so far, so good) and will move to lobbying for new policies to encourage foreign investment, in order to strengthen the Japanese economy.
In unrelated news (or is it a maneuver to make the liberals in Japan happy, in spite of Abe being in charge?) the first gay couple ever had a marriage ceremony in the Tokyo Disney Resort. The couple—a famous gay rights activist and actor, and her undisclosed partner—had a Christian-style wedding in the resort, followed by a romantic gondola ride. One Japanese gay porn star said on twitter: “Your wonderful wedding will bring inspiration and hope to many people who still hesitate to take the first step. I was also encouraged that Tokyo Disney Resort was so understanding.” This marks the first 'high-end' wedding package for a gay couple at Tokyo Disney Resort.
