Japan REVIVAL Campaign: Uplifting Japan Through Positive News

In an inspiring move, the Japan REVIVAL Campaign 2025 is set to shine a spotlight on the vibrant culture, technology, and spirit of Japan, aiming to boost national morale. Launched in September this year, this grassroots initiative is dedicated to sharing positive news about Japan that reveals resilience and creativity across various domains, including culture, economy, science, and art. This week, we focus on three particularly uplifting stories that embody Japan's spirit of revival.

1. Dodgers Triumph Again: Yamamoto and Ohtani Shine in World Series

On November 2nd, the Los Angeles Dodgers claimed victory in the World Series for the second consecutive year, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays. Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was awarded the MVP title for his exceptional performance, securing three wins throughout the series both as a starter and a reliever. This win marks a significant moment, as it is the first time a Japanese player has received the MVP award since Hideki Matsui in 2009.

Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani also made headlines during the postseason, marking four hits—including two home runs—during Game 3, alongside achieving an unprecedented record of getting on base nine times in a single game. He showcased his dual-threat talent by taking the mound as a starting pitcher in Game 7, proving once again why he is celebrated as a baseball phenomenon. Furthermore, Roki Sasaki, another talented Japanese pitcher, appeared in two games, reinforcing Japan's strong presence on the world stage.

2. Japan's Growth Strategy Headquarters Initiates First Meeting

On November 4th, Japan’s new Growth Strategy Headquarters held its inaugural meeting, aiming to create a fruitful cycle of growth and distribution. This initiative identifies 17 strategic sectors, including key areas such as AI, semiconductors, digital cybersecurity, defense, shipbuilding, nuclear fusion energy, advanced medical care, aerospace, and even content industries like anime and gaming. This cluster of sectors is aligned with the Japanese-American summit discussions held on October 28, marking a collective effort to fortify technology, industry, and national security, paving the way for a revitalized Japan.

3. Japan Ranked 9th in World’s Safest Travel Destinations for 2026

A remarkable feat was achieved by Japan, which secured the 9th position in the World's Safest Travel Destinations Ranking 2026 by Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection. This ranking signifies Japan's consistent presence in the top 10 since 2018, earning a “Hall of Fame” status. Notably, Japan leads globally in categories such as protection from violent crime and transport safety. Additionally, its recognition as the fourth safest country in terms of terrorism risk reflects that Japan remains a favorable choice for travel, particularly among younger generations. Japan has uniquely maintained its safety levels despite its high population density, highlighting the efficacy of its urban safety strategies.
