ASAHIKAWA Info ASAHIKAWA Info June 2011 VOL. 175 Also visit us at: www.city.asahikawa.hokkaido.jp/files/kokusaikouryu/english/index.html June 2011 Compiled by TAKADA Nobuhiro April 25 A 30-year-old candidate, Naomichi Suzuki was elected as the mayor of Yubari City. Mr. Suzuki, the youngest mayor in Japan, is a former Tokyo metropolitan government official who had been sent off to help the bankrupt Yubari City last year. Also, in the nationwide local elections on April 24th, 32-year-old Tsuyoshi Aoyama was elected mayor of Muroran City. April 29 “Feeeal Asahikawa” commercial complex in the building of the former Marui Imai Department Store, is scheduled to open on June 24th. “Junkudo Book Store,” one of the largest book store chains in Japan, has decided to open a store in the building. The opening of the complex, which will also house the Asahikawa City International Division, is expected to vitalize the city centers including the “Kaimono Koen Shopping Street.” May 6 A multiple pileup involving 23 cars occurred in “Tokiwa Tunnel” between Asahikawa and Fukagawa on “Doho Ex- press Way.” 12 people were slightly injured in the accident. As a result the express way between Asahikawa and Fuka- gawa was closed to traffic for up to five hours. May 6 “Eastar Jet,” a South Korean budget airline, has opened routes for the first time in Hokkaido. The low cost carrier oper- ates two flights a week between New Chitose and Inchon near Seoul. About 150 passengers traveled on the inaugural flight on May 5th. The cost of a round trip ticket is from \22,000 to \29,000, plus an additional \6,000 fuel and service surcharge. May 20 11 top officials of Otaru City are to stand trial in a summary procedure for the violation of Public Office Election Law. The officials had allegedly sold tickets for an election fund raising party for the new mayor elected in April. Govern- ment employees are prohibited by the Political Funds Control Law in engaging in political fund-raising or using their influence to promote candidates. Inside This Issue...

Andy: My hometown is the Gold Coast which is a major tourist destination in Australia. It’s fa- mous for its beautiful beaches, clean water, clean air, and its many theme parks. We have five theme parks; Dream World, Sea World, Movie World, Wet & Wild, and White Water World. The Gold Coast is a popular tourist destination for Australian and overseas visitors alike. AIC: Do many Japanese tourists visit the Gold Coast? Andy: 10 to 15 years ago the Gold Coast received many Japanese tourists. However, the Asian economic crisis of 1997 resulted in a big drop in Japanese visitors, and also in Japanese investment. There are still a good number of Japanese tourists to the Gold Coast but the growing popularity of other tourist destinations within Australia, such as Cairns and the Whitsundays, means that more and more Japanese are visiting these destinations in- stead of the Gold Coast.

Between 31% and 44% of active- duty service members suffer from chronic pain, the nonpartisan Rand Corp. said in a study that ex- amined how the military health system deals with the issue. While the Defense Department has invested heavily and made strides in treating chronic pain, expanding efforts to track how service members are doing after they receive care would be a step forward, Rand said. “Accurately measuring the quality of pain treatment is an es- sential step toward improving care,” it said.

  • Chapter 6 Crisis Communication
    The Independent Investigation Commission on the Japanese Government’s Response to COVID-19: Report on Best Practices and Lessons Learned Part III Best practices and challenges Chapter 6 Crisis communication The most effective message to encourage “self-restraint” and response to public anxiety, discontent and criticism The “analysis and recommendations” released April 1 by the government’s Expert Meeting on the Novel Coronavirus Disease Control cited a change in citizens’ behavior as a key component of the “Japan model” to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. A key to the efforts to fight the novel coronavirus were the messages released by the government to prompt people at large to change their behavior to reduce the infection risk, such as voluntary restraint on nonurgent outings and avoiding the “Three Cs” (closed spaces, crowded places and close-contact settings). What also became important was for the government, in order to prevent confusion among citizens and seek their cooperation with countermeasures for the disease, to explain the situation to address public anxiety, discontent and criticism, such as by accounting for the poor access to PCR tests for the virus, and to send out messages for resolving the problems. In this chapter, we define these two as “crisis communication.” Several research and data indicate that the messages sent out via the government’s news conferences and other channels contributed to a change in citizens’ behavior, thus reducing the effective reproduction number of novel coronavirus infections, but that public evaluation of the government’s news conferences and messages was not necessarily positive. Based on such an analysis, this chapter tries to explore the messages that contributed to people’s behavioral change (best practice) and the factors that lowered public evaluation of the government’s news conferences and messages (challenges).

  • From the Desk of the Consul-General
    From the Desk of the Consul-General Consul-General Dr. Kazayuki Katayama September 2013-August 2015 The Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit Detroit, MI August 2015 From the Desk of Consul General of Japan in Detroit (Preface) I have served for nearly two years as the Consul General of Japan, in my jurisdiction of both Michigan and Ohio, from September, 2013 to August, 2015. I focused on the promotion of economics, politics, culture, public relations education and consular affairs, as well as the expansion of person-to-person exchanges in various areas between Japan and the 2 states. The consulate opened in 1993 and I am the 10th Consul General. During my term, I often visited local governments, companies, universities and colleges, Japanese weekend schools, branches of the Japan-America Society and the Japanese associations in various parts of the 2 states in order to foster the understanding of Japan’s policies, including its foreign policy, among the Americans here. I traveled to Ohio 66 times and Michigan (beyond Metro Detroit) 45 times. I visited universities/colleges 43 times, companies 24 times and Japanese weekend schools 14 times. I recited approximately 110 speeches and lecture and invited guests to my residence, to serve them Japanese food and Sake, about 200 times. My goals in participating in these activities were twofold. First, I aimed to convince Americans that Japan is a trustworthy and strong partner to the U.S. Second, I earnestly set out to provide quality services to local Japanese residence and portray the Consulate General as both conscientious and dependable.
