Imperial Parliament Approves Sweeping Pension Reform
帝国議会、年金制度の大規模改革を承認
Wansaishi — The Imperial Parliament has approved sweeping reforms to the Wansain pension system, raising the standard pension age from 65 to 70. The government says the reform is intended to strengthen the long-term sustainability of the pension system while reflecting increasing life expectancy and the changing age structure of the population. Citizens will remain able to leave the workforce before the standard pension age, although early retirement will result in reduced pension benefits under the revised system.

The legislation also introduces strict restrictions on political participation by pensioners. Citizens who have reached pension age or begun receiving an old-age pension will be prohibited from standing for elected office or holding elected or senior appointed positions at the imperial, prefectural, or municipal level. Pensioners will consequently be barred from serving in the Imperial Parliament, prefectural assemblies, municipal councils, Cabinet, or senior executive posts within government.

W-Rock Festival Returns to Pusaka
Ｗ岩音楽祭、プサカで開催
Pusaka — The annual W-Rock Festival (Ｗ岩音楽祭) has returned to the coastal city of Pusaka, bringing together prominent performers from across Imperial Wansai for three days of live rock music. The festival’s lineup spans several generations of Wansain musicians, ranging from traditional rock and hard rock to alternative, progressive, punk, and heavier styles. Organizers have expanded the festival grounds this year following strong attendance at previous events, with multiple stages operating throughout the weekend.

W-Rock has grown beyond a conventional music festival to become one of the country’s largest annual gatherings for contemporary music and popular culture. Food vendors, independent record stores, clothing retailers, local artists, and smaller performers have established a large festival district surrounding the main stages, while major Wansain labels have used the event to promote emerging artists. Organizers described this year’s festival as a celebration of the country’s increasingly diverse music scene and confirmed that Ｗ岩音楽祭 will return to Pusaka next year.
