Rei Murakami Frenzel served as the moderator for the new series “SOHATSU DIALOGUE” on the Sohatsu Channel, operated by the Sohatsu Platform Foundation. “SOHATSU DIALOGUE” features guests from political, business, and academic circles to foster in-depth discussions on critical policy issues that cannot be postponed to future generations.

The first episode welcomes Shigeru Ishiba, a Liberal Democratic Party member of the House of Representatives, and Kosei Ozora, Executive Director of the NPO Anata no Ibasho, to discuss the current state and sustainability of Japan’s social security system. In Part 1, viewers can watch as Mr. Ishiba provides sincere and accessible responses to questions from Mr. Ozora, who is younger than his own children. Their engaging dialogue leads to a deeper exploration of the true purpose of social security reform. We invite you to watch this thought-provoking conversation.
