The discussion involves figures such as Oshima and Uno, and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party alongside the Japan Innovation Party. Meanwhile, the Imperial Household Agency is considering scaling back the future funeral of the Emperor Emeritus. Russia has also marked the Soviet Union's WWII victory over Japan.
