Wake up everyone.

Install proper central air conditioners at home and on transport. See Singapore et al for reference. Japan has tons of free geothermal power to support this.

invest in technologies to lower price of aircon.

and proper insulation of course

Get lower allergy and flu rates out of it as well!

In the US - cow milk is losing its way and being replaced by a whole raft of plant milks. Now it is a personal choice what one puts in the body, but the technique here seems to be pulling a page from the 1950s and is swimming upstream.

If we have extra milk - how about real ice cream instead of "soft creme", nice butter, and well (as said above) cheese!

Basically puts Japan on "Sale" to the rest of the world - which encourages FDI and tourism : both goals of the government and helps the economy. It can go a lot further than 145 - personally I expect the natural level for the JPY-USD pair to be in the mid-200s or even higher.

The government has been keeping the currency artificially high since the bubble burst for various reasons, but that surplus is gone and now time to get to work rebuilding the country.
