FY26 Phase II Creation Grant [Single-year grant program]

Business Overview

Japan a little further ahead. After peaking at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, the economic wave began to recede and Japan's "cracks" began to show. The population has fallen to 110 million, 1/3 of whom are elderly. The people, who were struggling to make ends meet, began to stage demonstrations demanding the correction of disparities. Driven by a declining population, the rate of vacant houses is steadily increasing, and even in Tokyo, shuttered shopping districts and areas with empty houses left unoccupied are emerging. Unemployed people, vagrants and illegal aliens gathered there and formed their own community. One novelist sarcastically referred to the area as:. Tokyo Slam. What is the future of capitalism? What the hell is money? What will happen to Japan? Depicts a possible future for Japan and the stories of money, economy, and love faced by a broken family.
