News in Japan

I can tell by the tone in a certain member's voice that the argument is getting heated.  ".......I understand, but......" I can only pick up little things here and there–dates, times, single words or particles.  It's the parliamentary proceedings on NHK Japanese radio.  What might be so important as to raise such passion?  Maybe a projected shortage of seaweed for the coming year, several thousand tons of azuki paste have flooded the inland sea (we must rally to gather spoons!), the cuteness index of children's hats fell dangerously low in the fourth quarter.  It's a perk of Japan that the news is always only about the things for which I'm concerned.  Mmmm, a sea of azuki soup.  I'm on my way.....
