2014.10.13

Today is a national holiday in our country.
Originally, this holiday was on October 10 , the opening day of the last Tokyo Olympic, but this holiday was changed to the second Monday in October to make more three-consecutive holidays.
Last year , when our country won the Olympic invitation in 2020, while I accepted and welcomed Olympic game in our country -for the sake of my parents ,
I placed diaries about this in both this language and our language, and on our language section, I mentioned my concern about " Olympic bubble ".
There are numberless of examples that host cities of Olympic games come to face financial burden in the end,
But I use the expression " bubble " meaning not economic collapse, but the lethargy of whole society by losing motivation for improvement after the Olympic game
So far, as time goes by, I'm afraid I feel this concern can come true...
Because:

What I'd like to leave as a memorandum today:
No matter how political panjandrums try to present a sweet face to abroad with weaker yen, gambling amusement, duty-free for travelers from abroad, Olympic game and so on,
I'd like to command them to wake up and smell the coffee , and register how increasing prices due to raise of consumption tax and weaker yen, widening regional gaps and income gaps, constitute a menace to people and our country, even people of government themselves.
No matter how they try to appeal regeneration from the earthquake disaster, when the construction industry are busy for construction for Olympic, resources and materials and laborers concentrate in the capital prefecture, then necessary resources are insufficient for reconstruction from the earthquake disaster.
Actually, diversion of resource and budget for reconstruction has been rampant.
- In addition that construction industry is having trouble to recruit necessary human resources, not only due to declining population but also by being brought to light that construction industry is a mass of companies exploit and discard laborers.
Besides: I assume all the people who are interested in Olympic game remember that our country won the Olympic invitation by promising to solve radiation-tainted water problem.
Can they keep this promise?
My basic thought about Olympic game in our country hasn't changed:
If they are trying to invite and hold Olympic for unity and development of the world, which is a kind of positive goal, and it leads to improvement and development of our country, I'm supporting Olympic invitation.
If their purpose is just status or economic effect, or just to enjoy Olympic in our country, I'm against Olympic invitation.
Does this Olympic mean a dawn of a new era for our country?
Or swan song of our country as an economic powerhouse?

Supposing our country succeeded in hosting Olympic game as a positive goal of our society and contribution to unity of the world,
I don't claim myself that I'm confident with my hospitality.
But I think that at least, fair games and competitions can be - or must be assured at sports meets in our country.
