The 51st House of Representatives Election will be held with official campaigning beginning on January 27, 2026 and voting taking place from February 8.

Each of our choices shapes the future of this country. And to those who cast their precious vote, we have prepared a special campaign to express our gratitude.

From Wednesday, January 28, until Sunday, February 15, the week after election day, we will be holding an "Election Discount" offering a 10% discount code to those who vote.

Previously, we requested proof of voting, such as a voting certificate or a photo taken at the polling place, but this time it is not required at all. We wholeheartedly trust in your aspiration to think about the future and cast your vote. With heartfelt gratitude for your thoughts on the future.

For the next generation, do what you can now.

"Only now, only money, only myself" —. I feel a strong sense of crisis at this trend spreading throughout society. It feels as if the selfish atmosphere of prioritizing short-term gains, temporary pleasures, and one's own convenience is shaking the social rules and trusting relationships between people that we have cherished until now.

However, simply lamenting the current situation will change nothing. That is why I want to show my will through my own actions. I want to broaden my perspective from "my present self" to the future of "someone who will live from now on." The most familiar and important action for this is "going to vote." It is nothing less than a declaration of intent to take responsibility for the future as a member of this society.

Our lives are a continuum over a long period, inherited from the previous generation and handed down to the next. The declining birthrate and aging population, climate change, national financial problems. These issues can be said to be the result of continuously postponing problems, including our own generation.

Once, the British author Samuel Smiles wrote in his book 'Self-Help': "The politics of a nation is merely a mirror reflecting its people. A splendid people will have splendid politics, and an ignorant and corrupt people can only have rotten politics."

If we feel dissatisfaction or anxiety about the current politics, it may be the result of our own individual awareness and attitude, reflected like a mirror. When indifference and selfishness, believing "as long as I'm okay," cover the entire society, only politics commensurate with that will emerge.

I am aware of the opinion that "a single vote won't change anything." However, that is not a reason for us to lose interest in society. If each of us gives up participating, the possibility of change truly becomes zero.

I want to leave something that offers even a little hope for the future after I am gone. For me, taking the step to vote is a humble but most certain action to fulfill an adult's responsibility for the future. (Yukihiro Harada, Manager of the direct store "struct")

This House of Representatives election is an unprecedentedly short, intense battle, with only 16 days from the dissolution of the Diet to the ballot counting—the shortest in postwar history. The dissolution at the beginning of an ordinary Diet session is the first in 60 years, and voting in February is the first in 36 years, marking a truly historic moment.

In such a short time, we must choose our future. No matter how much society rushes us, let's not be swept away, but stand on our own feet, think, and choose. Believing that this fleeting decision will determine the next 10 or 20 years, let's go to the polling stations together.

Your "one vote" has the power to change the future. We fully support you in taking that step. Please take this opportunity to use our "Election Discount" as a token of our gratitude.
