I hope Enma will be able to catch every single one who sang in a big chorus in August 1992.

It is a re-submission with some corrections, such as paragraph changes, omission of phrases, etc.
In any case, it is left as a memorandum.
It should be of great help to anyone who wants to write an academic paper about this period and when and why deflation in Japan started because it is straightforward about the real causes.
The following is the text.
In my previous article, "Japan Can Become a Financial Superpower Right Now," I wrote that the 500 trillion yen interests the U.S., making Japan a big country, etc.
I was talking with an acquaintance a few days ago, and I was so angry that my hair stood on end.
What my life-long best friends since I entered the workforce and I naturally knew is what Kiichi Miyazawa, who was a natural elite, naturally said at the LDP's Karuizawa seminar in August 1992... Please read, "There were natural political elites until 20 years ago.
*I mean that Kiichi Miyazawa was a real elite up to that point when he saw that the situation at that time was different from the usual business cycle and suggested that this problem must be solved at once by investing public funds in the order of 10 trillion yen to the financial institutions.
Kiichi Miyazawa, who was defeated by the Asahi Shimbun's argument, retracted his righteous argument and failed to solve the problem, cannot be called a natural elite.
There is a gap between Kiichi Miyazawa's genius-like attitude on the table and Abe's attitude.
In other words, his capacity, insight, and ability as a statesman were as different as the difference between heaven and earth.
Mr. Abe was a statesman who would do what was right for Japan, no matter what.
He was not defeated by the anti-Japanese propaganda newspaper Asahi Shimbun.
The correctness of the "transcendence" that immediately came to me at the time of the incident that the real mastermind behind Mr. Abe's assassination was the Asahi Shimbun can be silently understood by those with discerning eyes.*
A certain Yamada, a reporter in the Asahi Shimbun's economics department, squashed Miyazawa's proposal (to save the Japanese economy).
He argued with the pseudo-moralism of a kindergartener, asking why should the public's blood money be invested in what the banking, construction, and real estate industries had done on their own.
No, it was the height of hypocrisy.
It is obvious that Japan at that time was dominated by the Asahi Shimbun.
Also, Asahi began to propagandize the "idea of poverty" and other such gibberish, claiming that the so-called "bubble" was caused by the desire for luxury, so to speak*.
The government agencies, the media, the Keidanren, and the fake elites with their ugly egoism in the banks themselves, crushed Miyazawa and made it taboo to inject public funds into financial institutions until the situation became so dire that it became a national problem, are the ones who are now making a fortune per annum.
You may be enjoying the happiness of yourselves and your families far beyond 10 million yen a year now, but you will never be able to cross the River of Truth.
The nation knows that the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) has been on a showtime show, denouncing the wasteful spending of 100 billion yen, or at the most, 1 trillion yen of taxpayers' money.
Have any project reviewers joined in the chorus of righteousness at that time?
Clean out your ears and listen carefully.
During the past 20 years, we have lost up to 500 trillion yen of our national wealth, or at least 100 trillion yen.
Thank goodness you are a non-religious nation.
If you are Christian, there is no gate to heaven for you.
In the Jizo Bodhisattva faith, it is said that King Yama can judge the dead meticulously because he sees every detail of people's condition.
You are sentient beings who cannot pass away in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and you will surely go to hell.
Countless people have committed suicide because of your egoism, and those who were cut off from the path they should have taken continue to this day.
The most unforgivable thing is that one out of every seven children in this country are poor.
In Osaka, one in every 20 households comprises people on welfare.
What a dreadful life I have led, devoting most of my life to such a foolish country, working only two days a year in some years and paying over 17 billion yen in taxes!
I can't say enough abusive words about them.
I say to those who belong to the Democratic Party of Japan and the Liberal Democratic Party.
There is no difference between you.
You are the criminals who have caused the loss of hundreds of trillions of yen in national wealth in just the past 20 years.
There is no second to spare to make a spectacle of yourselves in front of these even more foolish assholes.
Get to work on my proposal tomorrow immediately.
As a super economic superpower hegemonic nation with an overwhelmingly larger stock market than any other nation, parallel to that of the U.S., Japan will always stand next to the U.S. President at the G8 and G20 meetings.
That is where Japan stands.
It stands on the edge as if it has no place to stand.
Japan is not a country of such a place.
