This man is campaigning for female emperors. The Japanese government holds annual crisis meetings about how to solve the issue of the shrinking imperial family but they're steadfastly opposed to empresses, even though there were six in the past, two of whom ruled twice.

According to the notice, due to the G20 summit in Osaka, they've "sealed rubbish bins". This is in Ikebukuro Station toilets (and presumably other toilets in Tokyo?!) and what it actually means is that women don't have access to sanitary towel bins.

A Japanese crazy work culture story: A lady was prevented from taking more than 5 days off, so she lied to her boss, saying her overseas trip was for a wedding. Boss said, "OK, but show me photos as proof." So she called up all her friends and STAGED A FAKE WEDDING. AMAZING.
