How Does Acquiring Japanese Nationality Change Access to Rights? – The Case of a Formerly Stateless Rohingya Woman Community Leader in Japan –

• Zemi: 金児 ゼミ
• Instructor: 金児　真依
• Presentation Language: Japanese

Human rights belong to everyone, regardless of nationality or lack thereof. Why, then, do stateless people still struggle to exercise them? There are 99 States parties to the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons, but only 30 States have established “statelessness determination procedures (SDP)”. Japan does not have such a formal procedure, and many stateless persons have faced immigration detention and barriers to healthcare, employment, marriage, and naturalization. But does naturalization resolve these challenges? An interview with a naturalized female Rohingya community leader shows that while a passport and the right to vote improved her life, dignity demands not only easier access to legal status and naturalization but also a more inclusive understanding of what it means to be Japanese.

Young People Leaving the “Land of Happiness”

• Zemi: 渡邉（松） ゼミ
• Instructor: 渡邉　松男
• Presentation Language: Japanese

Bhutan is known as the “Land of Happiness.” The country promotes Gross National Happiness (GNH), which emphasizes not only material well-being but also the spiritual, emotional, and cultural needs of society. GNH surveys show that happiness levels among young people have been rising. However, many young Bhutanese are moving abroad, and the number of Bhutanese living in Australia has doubled in just a few years. Why do they leave Bhutan despite rising levels of happiness? This presentation examines the concept of happiness reflected in GNH and the reasons for migration to Australia, exploring what “happiness” means to young Bhutanese people.

ーーKamiyama, Tokushima: A Model for Rural Revitalizationーー
How did Kamiyama, a small town facing population decline, become a success story in rural revitalization?
Let’s take a closer look at what makes this town so remarkable!
Nestled in the mountains of Tokushima Prefecture, Kamiyama is home to just 4,534 people. While many rural revitalization efforts in Japan are government-led, Kamiyama has taken a certain approach.
What draws people from around the world to this small town? And how did it become home to satellite offices for companies?
Drawing on insights from our fieldwork, we’ll uncover the story behind Kamiyama’s success and explore what other rural communities can learn from its experience.
Join us as we discover new possibilities for the future of rural Japan!

Why Are People Attracted to Limited-Edition Products?

• Zemi: 森岡 ゼミ
• Instructor: 森岡　真史
• Presentation Language: Japanese

This study examines the purposes of limited sales, such as those restricted by time, quantity, or region, and explores the consumer psychology behind the appeal of limited-edition products. It compares successful and unsuccessful cases of limited-edition products becoming regular products. Through a questionnaire survey, it also analyzes differences in purchase intentions depending on the type of limitation and the effects of scarcity, fear of regret, differentiation from others, and conformity on purchasing behavior. Based on these findings, the study considers the conditions under which limited sales are effective and the challenges involved in transitioning limited-edition products to regular sales. The findings may help companies develop more effective marketing strategies

Study Here, Work Here, Stay Here?: International Students and Japan's Selective Road to Permanent Residency

• JDPチーム
• Instructor: SMITH, Nathaniel M.
• Presentation Language: English

From 2012 to 2025, changes in Japanese migration policy doubled the number of resident foreigners from 2 million to 4.1 million, 3.5% of the total population. But how do foreign students figure in Japan’s advancing internationalization? Nearly 40% of foreign students continue on to employment in Japan, contributing to the economy through their labor and taxes, while also diversifying workplaces and communities. And yet, in recent years the “foreigner problem” became a topic of controversy, culminating in significantly more restrictive immigration policies in 2025. This presentation explores the paradoxes of immigration policy in contemporary Japan, as it first welcomed then quickly restricted the potential for long-term residency of foreigners. What does the future look like for foreign students amid this changing landscape?

Your Trash Is On Trial! Who Should Pay For The Plastic Bottle You Throw?

• Zemi: Amekawa Zemi
• Instructor: AMEKAWA, Yuichiro
• Presentation Language: English

A plastic bottle enters a recycling bin. But who is responsible for the next steps? Japan’s packaging recycling system assigns different roles: consumers sort, municipalities collect, and specified businesses pay recycling fees. However, this division of responsibilities may not necessarily result in a fair distribution of costs. Focusing on PET bottles, this study investigates who pays, who performs the work, and which costs are difficult to identify. Drawing on legislation, government statistics, recycling fee data, and academic literature, the study examines the allocation of responsibilities and costs in Japan’s PET bottle recycling system from the perspectives of extended producer responsibility (EPR) and environmental justice. It aims to identify potential inequalities in cost distribution and discuss their implications for a fairer recycling system.

How Social Media Has Changed the Way Music Becomes Popular Around the World

• Zemi: 中本 ゼミ
• Instructor: 中本　真生子
• Presentation Language: Japanese

In the past, music became popular mainly through record labels and mass media such as television and radio. Today, however, social media platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram have changed the way music becomes popular. Users can share and use songs in their own videos, leading to more streams and even global success. This presentation examines how social media has changed the way music spreads and the role of listeners in creating hits. It focuses on examples such as new artists gaining popularity, old songs becoming popular again, and songs spreading across countries and languages, showing how social media is transforming the global music industry.

Indo-Nepali restaurants have become a familiar sight in Japan. But what are the backgrounds of the people who work there, and why have they chosen to work in Japan? Moreover, is the “Nepali food” we eat in these restaurants really authentic Nepali cuisine?

In this presentation, we explore the factors behind the spread of Indo-Nepali restaurants in Japan from five perspectives: people, immigration policies, food culture, migration networks and recruitment systems, and everyday life in Nepal.

The Effect of Stricter Visa Policy: United Kingdom Case Study

• Zemi: 足立 ゼミ
• Instructor: 足立　研幾
• Presentation Language: Japanese

In recent years, there has been a trend of tightening visa requirements in many countries, and behind this, the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment within their societies is one of the key factors. This presentation uses the case of the United Kingdom, which has pursued such stricter policies, particularly regarding work visas, to analyze how stricter visa policies have affected the labour market and society, as well as what the UK government has been forced to do in response to the consequences and challenges arising from these policies. Based on these analyses, we consider how visa policies should be, including in Japan.

The Wolf of the Red Sea

• Zemi: Ataka Zemi
• Instructor: ATAKA, Hiroaki
• Presentation Language: English

Conventionally, states would secure sea lanes through military, legal, and territorialauthority. However, recent confl icts and developments in key sea lanes such as the Red Sea, and theStrait of Hormuz, have led to shipping fi rms and other such private entities involved in energy tradeto reroute or suspend services. Commercial and non-state private actors thereby aff ect whetherpassage through a trade route is practically viable. By examining the case of the Red Sea and the Babel-Mandeb, we intend to analyse the hybridisation of governance in energy trade routes, whereby,private entities are actively involved in the functionality of a trade route alongside cooperation withstates and Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs).

Chokepoint for Chokepoint: How the US and China Weaponise the Chip Supply Chain

• Zemi: Watanabe Zemi
• Instructor: WATANABE, Hiroaki
• Presentation Language: English

Semiconductors underpin AI, military power and modern economies, yet depend on a few chokepoints. Using Farrell and Newman’s Hirschman-inspired theory of weaponised interdependence, we explore how China and the US turn interdependence, which commercial liberalism saw as a source of peace, into coercion. We will examine US control of chip design and design software, and its recruitment of the Netherlands and Japan into equipment restrictions. We then assess China’s response through its dominance in processing gallium, germanium and rare earths, including its October 2025 controls targeting advanced chipmaking, since suspended. We also weigh whether weaponisation’s costs erode leverage. We expect neither side to gain a decisive advantage, because each controls a chokepoint the other needs.

The Day the Colors Disappeared: What Monochrome Potato Chips Packaging Reveal About Iran Attack and Japan

• Zemi: 末近 ゼミ
• Instructor: 末近　浩太
• Presentation Language: Japanese

Behind the government's announcement that "oil supplies are secured", why did confectionery companies reduce packaging colors? Based on an analysis of import data which shows Middle Eastern declines far exceeded increases from other regions, alongside corporate response comparisons, this presentation reveals contradictions in government claims. We demonstrate that monochrome packaging was not just because of a physical shortage, but the process where companies prioritized supply stability amid the “uncertainty” of war-induced supply anxiety, which impacted Japanese society.

Grassroots Transformative Justice: A Bottom-Up Socio-Legal Approach to the Duterte Case

• Zemi: Ochi Zemi
• Instructor: OCHI, Megumi
• Presentation Language: English

Last year, the International Criminal Court (ICC) charged the former president of the Philippines, Duterte, with alleged responsibility for crimes against humanity that took place in the Philippines through Duterte’s “War on Drugs” campaign, which left the communities in the Philippines damaged and dismantled. Is putting Duterte on trial enough to bring justice to the victims and survivors, and how should they be compensated? Come listen to the testimonials of victims and survivors, and the work of the local Philippines organizations to demystify the legal issues for the public. The realities will show you that there is a gap in how we academically view justice and reparations, and how it is being put into practice.

Higher Scores, Better Futures? The Reality of Shadow Education in Japan

• Zemi: Tsujimoto Zemi
• Instructor: TSUJIMOTO, Toshiko
• Presentation Language: English

This presentation examines shadow education in Japan and its influence on educational and socioeconomic inequalities. Although Japan’s education system is often viewed as equal, statistics show that students of different socioeconomic backgrounds have unequal access to additional education opportunities. The presentation first explores how unequal access to juku may contribute to gaps in academic outcomes. It then examines how financial resources reproduce socioeconomic inequalities. Finally, it considers the possible mental health costs, such as sleep loss and time pressure, while noting the limitation of direct evidence. Overall, the presentation discusses how shadow education reflects broader financial inequalities, educational opportunities, and challenges within Japanese society.

Is Prostitution Really Evil? — A Look at Sex Work in Laos

• Zemi: 嶋田 ゼミ
• Instructor: 嶋田　晴行
• Presentation Language: Japanese

This presentation looks at prostitution in Laos and explores why it continues to exist. It focuses on factors such as poverty, limited job opportunities, and demand from customers. It also explains the difference between prostitution and human trafficking or sexual exploitation, which may involve force, deception, or abuse. By looking at Laos’s laws and comparing them with approaches in other countries, this presentation considers who should take responsibility and what can be done to address the problem. Rather than simply judging prostitution as right or wrong, it aims to understand the social and economic conditions behind it and consider how people can be better protected and given more choices in their lives.

Reexamining the “Middle-Income Trap”: The Transition to High-Income Status Through the Case of Malaysia

• Zemi: 植松 ゼミ

• Presentation Language: Japanese

While transitioning to a high-income country is considered a crucial goal for growing economies, many struggle to bridge the gap and are said to fall into the 'middle-income trap.' However, does failing to reach high-income status genuinely imply that a country is trapped? By focusing on Malaysia—a quintessential case of the middle-income trap—this presentation examines not only income-based evaluations but also the actual well-being enjoyed by its people, thereby exploring the validity and limitations of this concept.

Does That Cola Taste Like Environmental Destruction? — Multinational Corporations' Environmental Issues and State Responsibility

• Zemi: 西村 ゼミ
• Instructor: 西村　智朗
• Presentation Language: Japanese

When a multinational corporation damages the environment abroad, as alleged in the groundwater dispute surrounding a Coca-Cola plant in India, how can responsibility be attributed to a state under international law? This presentation focuses on that question. First, treating a corporation's conduct as an act of the state requires specific instructions or control by the state, which makes attribution extremely difficult. Second, a state may instead be held responsible for its own omission, namely a breach of its due diligence obligation to regulate and monitor corporate activities. However, a state may escape responsibility simply by fulfilling procedural requirements. Drawing on real cases, we examine the limits of state responsibility and propose holding parent companies liable in their home states.

Fake Family, Real Feelings
Exploring Japan’s Rental Family Services and How Social Expectations Shape Kinship and Belonging-

• Zemi: Smith Zemi
• Instructor: SMITH, Nathaniel M.
• Presentation Language: English

Imagine hiring a father to attend your school entrance interview, or paying someone to act as your daughter just to have someone to talk to. In Japan, rental family services make this possible. These services provide temporary actors who play the part of a family member, offering both vital emotional support and social role substitution. But if a family can be rented, does “family” really come down to blood? By examining the commercialization of kinship, labour, and romance, we explore the tension between strict social expectations and the reality of human relationships in contemporary Japan. Family rental services challenge us to reconsider what makes a family real: biological ties, emotional intimacy, or the simple act of fulfilling roles society assigns us.

• Presentation Language: Japanese

It has been a quarter of a century since the aggressive phrase, "Can't you drink the alcohol I poured for you?" disappeared from common use. Why did the severe harassment that was rampant during our parents' generation eventually vanish? This study investigates how the strict and once absolute hierarchical relationship between seniors and juniors, known as senpai and kouhai, within university athletic clubs has significantly transformed in recent years. Through comprehensive interview surveys and qualitative methods, this research clarifies the recent changes in these hierarchical dynamics and explores their underlying backgrounds. Ultimately, by using university sports as an analytical lens, this presentation examines the broader shifts in the cultural values and social norms throughout contemporary Japanese society.

Schadenfreude Among Friends? Why Are You a “Frenemy”?

• Presentation Language: Japanese

Saying “I didn’t study at all!” right before an exam, giving backhanded compliments, showing off in dating talk: competition and jealousy can sneak into any friendship, even a close one, and a friend who acts this way is sometimes called a “frenemy.”
In this study, we use a survey to clarify by what effects students to become "frenemies" to their friends, and what actually drives them to act this way. We also examine what lies behind these differences: the norm that "friends should be like this," the evaluation standards that give rise to comparison, and the influence of social media on friendships.

What redress can the International Criminal Court (ICC) provide for the victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Uganda? Our research investigates how symbolic measures, which are part of the reparations ordered by the ICC, can contribute to transformative justice for victims of atrocities in Northern Uganda. The order can be implemented by building a peace memorial, providing transformative impacts in the affected community. We compare the success of existing memorials including Hiroshima and the Holocaust to examine the ethics of portraying a delicate history of the society’s hardships to advocate for peace and transcend time. Furthermore, we introduce the perspective of survivors.
