In brief
Toshio Masuda examines Japan’s changing security posture and its international status in the August 15, 2026 edition of his radio program. This is Part 1 of the discussion.
The program airs weekly on Radio Morioka 76.9MHz and is published afterward on Masuda’s own channel. A Japanese economist and commentator, he uses the segment to work through Japan’s defense arrangements, its alliances, and where the country stands among the major powers.
The video is in Japanese.
