I am a supporter of the Tokyo Olympics/Paralympics, which are only 32 days away.

The reason for supporting the event in the midst of this corona disaster is, as I have already mentioned, to establish the "Tokyo Model" that will be used all over the world for the next 100 years.

In my view, the "Tokyo model" is to hold the event without an audience.

This is because the "Tokyo model" will operate in a way that is decidedly different from traditional modern Olympics/Paralympics events.

Therefore, the "differential data" will become a great "asset". And it will be an asset that can be left to mankind.

Our country (Japan) has continued to provide the world with very valuable and important negative data.

In recent years,

- Accident and post-accident measures (evacuation, decommissioning, and return of residents (and simultaneous decommissioning)) for the worst Level 7 nuclear power plant accident in history.

- After the collapse of the bubble economy, the domestic recession lasted for more than 10 years and various fiscal measures were taken to cope with it.

- The world's most advanced aging society with a declining birthrate and measures to deal with it (whether effective or not).

A little further back,

- Pollution incidents triggered by economic priority measures during the period of rapid economic growth, their damage, court records, and calculation of damages.

Going back even further.

- The reality of atomic bomb damage aimed at killing civilians.

- Postwar Reconstruction

Japan is a "negative data advanced country" that has provided the world with a vast amount of valuable data.

And governments in many countries could have implemented various policies based on the Japanese use case (in fact, "Japan's Bubble" has become a bible for monetary policy around the world).

Of course, we would have avoided this if we could have -- many people have suffered, continue to suffer, and have died (or been killed).

But if it has happened, the findings should be put to good use.

With the Tokyo Olympics/Paralympics, the fifth wave of Corona is sure to come -- or rather, it's a "definite future.

Then the negative aspects that will be generated by hosting the Tokyo Olympics/Paralympics should be recorded with the highest possible accuracy.

If we are going to hold an international event like this, we should hold it in as unusual a manner as possible -- without an audience -- so that we can observe a significant "difference".

This can be shown to large-scale events around the world in response to pandemics that are likely to occur several times over the next 100 years, whose name is

"Tokyo Model"
