reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/north-korea-says-japans-kishida-showed-intention-meet-kim-jong-un-recently-2024-03-25/
Quick Glance: Japanese PM Offers to Meet Kim Jong Un, Conditions Pose Challenges
- North Korea states that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida proposed a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un 'as soon as possible,' contingent on Tokyo's stance towards North Korea's weapons program and past abductions of Japanese nationals.
- Kishida emphasizes the importance of a meeting with Kim to address the abduction issue, but North Korea's preconditions make a Kim-Kishida summit unlikely.
- Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un's sister, highlights the need for Japan to make political decisions aligned with its overall interests to enhance bilateral relations and regional peace.
- Experts suggest that a potential meeting could benefit both North Korea and Japan, with North Korea aiming to strengthen its position and Japan considering potential economic assistance if ties normalize.

reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/japan-high-court-says-not-allowing-same-sex-marriage-is-unconstitutional-media-2024-03-14/
Quick Glance: Japanese High Court Rules Denial of Same-Sex Marriage Unconstitutional
- A Japanese high court ruled that denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and urged immediate government action to address the lack of laws allowing for such unions.
- The court lacks the power to overturn the current marriage law, which limits marriage to a man and a woman. Government offices can continue to deny marriage status to same-sex couples unless the law is revised to include LGBTQ+ couples or a new law is enacted.
- The Sapporo High Court ruling emphasized that not permitting same-sex couples to marry and enjoy equal benefits as heterosexual couples violates their fundamental right to have a family.
- Japan is the only G7 nation that still excludes same-sex couples from legal marriage rights and spousal benefits.

Quick Glance: Failed Premiere of Japan's Space One Kairos Rocket
- Space One's Kairos rocket, a solid-fuel rocket from Japan, ended in an explosion just seconds after its inaugural launch on Wednesday as the company aimed to be the first Japanese company to deploy a satellite into orbit.
- Details regarding the triggering factors of the rocket's self-destruction after the ignition of the first-stage engine and the timeline for the next Kairos launch were not disclosed by Space One, with a commitment only to conduct an investigation into the explosion.
- Despite Japan's relatively minor role in the space race, the country's rocket developers are striving to construct more cost-effective vehicles to meet the increasing demand for satellite launches from both government entities and international customers.
- Teaming up with the United States, Japan is striving to revitalize its domestic aerospace sector to counter the technological and military competition posed by countries like China and Russia.
