Problem in Japan
Currently in Japan, there is a problem of whether to release the casino. I agree to release the casino in Japan. Because the casino has lots of good things. My opinion is mainly three.
The first is the great economic effect of releasing casino. According to an estimate by a university, the economic effect of casinos is about 8 trillion yen at maximum, it is said that employment will increase by 600 thousand people. Also, by releasing the casino, sales of nearby hotels and shopping malls are expected to increase. Also, it is said that the probability of success in Asia is extremely high, as the number of wealthy people is increasing now in Asia. Actually, it has been a big success in Macao and Singapore. Now, the revenue of Macau casino is the world's best. For these reasons, I think that releasing the casino in Japan will have great economic effects.
The second is to be able to recruit new foreign tourists and lead to the revitalization of rural areas. By releasing the casino in the rural areas, building investment is encouraged, tourism consumption becomes active, employment and tax revenue are born. While the population of Japan is decreasing, how to deal with overseas customers will become very important in the tourist spots from now on. Therefore, it is said that foreigners can make it a popular tourist destination by releasing a casino with strong cultural elements for foreigners. Currently, expectations for the releasing of casinos are rising as a new regional revitalization proposal in various parts of Japan.
The third is to be able to shift casino consumption flowing outside the country to Japan. A casino is not actually made up of ordinary people. Management is established by regular customers who are said to be VIP customers, about 20% of customers. In fact, more than 60% of total casino sales are brought by VIP customers. From this, the casino will succeed by attracting VIP customers. Currently Japan is said to have about 2 million VIP customers. So, if the casino is released in Japan, we can keep 2 million people who have flown overseas to Japan.
From these three opinions, I agree to release the casino in Japan.

Opposite opinion
~An objection to Hirano's opinion~
I disagree with the opinion of Hirano.
His opinion is that it is necessary to change labor methods to eliminate death from overwork. Certainly, Japanese working hours are very long. But I think that it is necessary for Japan to develop further. In Japan today, academic ability and others are declining compared with the past, in addition to that, we are beginning to be lagging behind developed countries. Even so, I think it is not reasonable to reduce working hours.
What you need is reform of working purpose and personal motivation. First of all, the company needs to decide what works for purpose. It should be considered country by country, not company. By working towards the world rather than domestic competition, the purpose of the company will change dramatically. I think that domestic competition is the cause of long hours labor low wages. So, I think that unnecessary labor will go away if domestic competition is lost. Also, it is considered that Japanese society can develop more than other countries.
Next is the reform of individual motivation. In Japan, job hunting is a problem. Young people start working in society without sufficient preparation. This will increase the difference between the ideal and the reality. Also, it is very difficult to change jobs in Japan. Therefore, many young people have to work while tolerating. I think that this is related to the increase in suicide. Anyone who does disliked work gathers stress. I think that we can solve these problems by working hard to prepare.
The Japanese are very serious. I think that Japanese people should do more comfortably from overseas people. This is a very important idea. Many Japanese people suffer too much. I think that it is caused by having thought about work deeply. Perhaps things are easier than the Japanese thinking. I think that it is not suitable for the Japanese way of thinking to work.
In this way, I think that I should improve these things rather than shorten working hours. I think it will become a better society by solving the problem indicated above and taking advantage of the character of the Japanese.
