I have been told that politics in japan only appear during elections saying "Thanks, thanks" and that the Goverment is like an obscure god-like entity to the population.
Newspapers are not very informative and focus more on reports and stadistical data and other useless stuff. Something like "The averange house size is X square meters" and "Best restaurants around" but not politics.
However this is just what I have heard. I don't know.
