Japan's ruling party has missed out on a parliamentary majority for the first time since 2009, a result that strikes a blow to new Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. The snap poll was called in early October, following a party slush fund scandal that led to the resignation of Fumio Kishida and Ishiba's narrow election to the party's leadership. Voters in the world's fourth-largest economy have been rankled by rising prices.

00:37It's about the economy.
00:41And also, it's about the future.

00:56That's what the economy is all about.
01:01I want to focus on young people more than anyone else.
01:08It might be a little different.
01:10Young people are part of an organization,
01:14so when they join an organization,
01:17they have to learn the right way,
01:20but if they don't, they can't do it.
01:22I think it's very hard for young people to be isolated.
01:29Japan, South Korea, and North Korea
01:46If North Korea or Russia were to invade Hokkaido,
01:51it would be a big problem.
01:55That's why I think the People's Party is good.
01:59If it were the U.S., it would be underestimated.
02:05Because it's new.
02:07I think it's Trump.
02:09If it were Trump, it would be ridiculed.
