Comment from Suzuki Kosuke, Editor-in-Chief of Bungeishunju “Heated Debate! Questioning Japanese First” is a roundtable discussion that delves into the issue of foreign residents, sparked by the slogan of the Democratic Party of Japan. The Abe administration’s proactive policy to expand foreign labor has continued to this day without any improvements being made. If we do not take action now, the issue of foreign workers will undoubtedly become even bigger in the future. Will Japan become an immigrant nation like Germany or France? We hope you will read it. ■■■ magazine Details Magazine name: “Bungei Shunju” October issue Release: September 10, 2025 fixed price : 1,250 yen (tax included) https://bunshun.jp/list/magazine/gekkan-bunshun
