1. It doesn’t sound too promising, folks. There’s a lot of “We’ll discuss further / we’re monitoring” in here that aligns with what others have said about Japanese politics being heavily influenced by voters who aren’t in a rush for restrictions to end.

   This bit in particular stuck out as a reason to not get your hopes up:

   ●Request on full capacity pro-wrestling events with cheering crowds

   *‘Firstly, I would like for us on a systemic level to allow for the current eighth wave of infections to pass.* That said, we are considering how best to move forward with the scientific evidence that we possess as matters calm down. As part of that consideration we would absolutely like all the information that we can get about how events in different industries are held, and the results that arise from them.’

2. the article technically misspelled CyberFight cuz its one together lol.

3. Idk if a pro wrasslin company is gonna make a difference when it comes to major change in policy. But if Im being honest, as a westerner, it’s just nice to see a government at least pretend to care as opposed to saying “Fuck it, best of luck.” I’m sure theyre nefarious af but at least it isn’t flaunted around.
