On Sept. 30 in Tokyo, SanSeito leader Sohei Kamiya met Yaeyama Nichiho publisher Noboru Shimajiri and president Ikue Miyazato to discuss immigration and study abroad. Kamiya stressed that the party's 'Japan First' stance is not about foreigners' discrimination. Shimajiri shared his experience running Japanese-language schools for international students and urged raising the allowable outside-study activity hours for students from 28 to 35 hours per week to ease Okinawa's labor shortages. Kamiya said welcoming students who learn Japanese culture and integrate can serve as a bridge between countries, but cautioned against students entering mainly for work or resisting adaptation, stressing that the process should prioritize studying first. He rejected portrayals of 'Japan First' as discrimination, calling it a stance to prevent discrimination. Shimajiri also described JSL's life-guidance efforts. He noted Okinawa's labor shortage, saying convenience stores rely on Nepalese part-timers, and again urged extending the activity limit. He concluded that Japan must stay attractive to sustain Japanese-language education. The dialogue was at Shimajiri's request.
