At a regular press conference on the afternoon of the 13th, Governor Yoshimura Hirofumi of Osaka Prefecture commented on the proposal by former Akitakata Mayor Ishimaru Shinji to launch a regional political party in Tokyo, saying, "I think it's interesting. I'd love for him to do it." Through his discussion with Ishimaru on an online program, Yoshimura said he felt that "we share similar values and policy ideas, such as correcting the centralization of power and striving for a multipolar, decentralized nation," and praised Ishimaru's achievements in gaining support from Tokyo residents in the Tokyo gubernatorial election as "simply amazing." He also said, "The idea of moving Japan from Tokyo is interesting," and while there are no concrete collaborations at the moment, he expressed an attitude of watching future developments with interest.
