Japan's Constitution, which took effect in 1947, is often referred to as the pacifist Constitution because its Article 9 renounces war as a sovereign right and prohibits Japan from possessing "war potential." Chanting anti-war, anti-constitutional revision and military expansion slogans and holding placards, the protesters demanded Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to step down. The Japanese government has accelerated the implementation of several policies that are seen as breaking the framework of the pacifist constitution, which has drawn concern and dissatisfaction from some of the Japanese public. On April 23, Japan's House of Representatives passed a bill to set up the national intelligence council and the national intelligence bureau, seeking to create the country's first centralized national-level intelligence system since World War II. Driven by Takaichi, the overhaul consolidates power across government, military and private sectors under tight prime ministerial control. "For the past 80 years, Japan has maintained peace thanks to Article 9 of its Constitution. However, the Japanese government now intends to advance policies such as enacting an anti-spy law and establishing a 'national intelligence bureau.' Through these actions, Japan is continuously strengthening its militarization. I believe this is actually a march towards war step by step," said a protester. "Even though we must abide by the Constitution, and the Constitution itself has not yet been revised, the current movements (of the Takaichi government) seem to imply that Japan has already become a 'country capable of waging war,' and at a very rapid pace. I am very uneasy about this. Therefore, I believe we must continue to speak out and let people know that the will of the government does not equate to the will of the people," said another protester. "There is absolutely no need to revise the constitution. I simply could not understand the intentions of the Takaichi regime. I oppose lifting the ban on arms exports and enacting an anti-spy law. I think these are essentially part of a series of actions taken by the ruling party to strengthen its military arms and turn Japan into a country capable of waging war. So as citizens, we must resolutely oppose these moves," said a protester. 　日本の高市早苗政権が進める軍備拡張や憲法改正などの動きに抗議する市民集会が、15日に首相官邸前で行われた。 　参加者は「高市辞めろ」「戦争反対」などとシュプレヒコールをあげ、憲法改正や軍拡路線反対を訴えた。 　日本国憲法は1947年に施行され、第9条に「戦争放棄」「戦力不保持」「交戦権否認」に関する規定があることから「平和憲法」とも呼ばれ、第二次世界大戦後約80年にわたり、日本の平和国家としての歩みの基盤となってきた。 　しかし、政策転換の動きが加速していることから、強い危機感が広がっている。政府のインテリジェンス能力強化に向けた「国家情報会議設置法案」も4月23日に議院本会議で採決された。戦後初となる首相直轄の中央集権的な情報機関が新設される見通しとなっている。 　この日の抗議集会では、戦後日本が築いてきた平和の礎が揺らぎつつあることへの懸念が共有され、参加者たちは「政権と国民の意思は違う」「政府に反対の声を上げ続けることが大切だ」と強調した。 　＜集会参加者＞ 　「今まで日本はですね戦後80年間、憲法の9条なんかもあったりして、平和がありました。それを今度作る、つまりスパイ防止を作ったり国家情報局を作ったり、こういうことで軍事色を強めるということは、やっぱり戦争に僕は一つ一つこう近づいていくことだと思うんです」 　＜集会参加者＞ 　「憲法を順守しなければいけない。また憲法もまだ改正してないというのにも関わらず、あたかも憲法が、もう戦争できる国に変えた後の動きのような感じを今やってるんです。それも急ピッチでやっているので、やはり不安にも思ってますし。ですから、やはり政権と国民の意思は違うんだっていうことを、もう継続して訴え続けなければいけないと」 　＜集会参加者＞ 　「今、憲法を変えなければならない必要性はどこにもありません。高市政権の意図が理解できません。もちろん武器の輸出解禁も反対ですし、スパイ防止法も反対です。基本的には、すべて軍備を増強して日本を戦争する国にしようという政権側の策動の一環だと思いますので、私たち市民は絶対反対していかないといけないと思います」 Japanese/Nats 日本語/自然音声 Tokyo, Japan - May 15, 2026 (CCTV - No access Chinese mainland) 1.
