This message carried particular weight this year.

Japan is set to revise its key national security strategy later this year.

And that's prompting questions over whether its longstanding commitment to those principles could face a new pressure at a time when we're seeing East Asia rapidly changing with its security environment.

And Pekkaichi did not address those concerns.

directly in her speech.

And instead, she stressed Japan's responsibility as the only country to have suffered atomic bombings in war and renewed that commitment to pursue a world with no nuclear weapons.

But the issue has become increasingly sensitive in Japan.

Online, some questioned whether

Takeuchi, who is widely regarded as having a more hawkish national security stance, will maintain that pledge as the regional tensions just grow further and defense spending here continues to rise.

Imagine running an entire country on just a few hours of sleep.

Japan's prime minister says she survives on zero to three hours a night.

And people are reacting.

Prime Minister Sanae Takeuchi revealed on X that she recently got five hours of sleep for the first time in a while since taking office.

She says she normally works through weekends, reviewing policy, answering thousands of emails, and handles some household chores too.

Supporters say she's just showing the reality of what it's like to work in public service.

Others also pointed to Japan's long-standing culture of overwork, including the issue of karoshi, which means death from overwork.

So instead of praise, Takahichi's sleep schedule has ignited a conversation about work-life balance.
