The entire Japanese government has resigned, Suptnik reported quoting a Kyodo news agency report.
A special meeting of the cabinet started at 11.30am local time (02.30am GMT). The new Japanese government led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is expected to be announced soon.
Originally, the government reshuffle was supposed to be carried out in early September, but now due to the mention to accelerate the promotion of his economic concept of “new capitalism”, the need to take action due to rising food and fuel prices, and in order to prepare in advance for the session of parliament, the prime minister decide to speed up the reshuffle process in the government
Earlier, Bernama reported Japan’s prime minister reshuffled his cabinet Wednesday after a slump in approval ratings, replacing the brother of assassinated ex-leader Shinzo Abe as defence minister.
Fumio Kishida led his ruling party to victory in an upper house election last month, days after Abe was shot dead by a man resentful of the Unification Church.

If only...

See the last three paragraphs.
I’m betting this shakeup ain’t good news for Japan.
Scary
Seems several of us had the same lovely dream ...
Oh, “new capitalism”. I see. Domo!
To dream the impossible dream ...
Send joe a jap sword and hope he falls on it
Now I’m really wondering if Japan’s Deep State was behind Abe’s assassination...
wish that would happen here.
I read some of the headlines lately and my mind can’t absorb what I’m reading. The entire Japanese government resigned? The FBI raided president Trump’s home? It all seems surreal.
The Japanese ministers remain in the legislature. A US Administration resigning would have to go find jobs.
So... a man who disliked their ties to the church murdered the former PM
And the result is firing people with ties to the church
And giving the murderer what he wants.
Politics is incredible.
Yes. If you remove the mindless speculation from the last sentence of the excerpt, you get:
“Fumio Kishida led his ruling party to victory in an upper house election last month, days after Abe was shot dead”
Which suggests slightly more reasonable speculation.
No - it’s the great reset policy. You will own nothing and be happy.
Japan’s Kishida enlists seasoned hands to tackle energy, defense

Energy supply tops the agenda. “We’ll thoroughly assess our options including the use of nuclear power,” Kishida told reporters Wednesday, referring to his plans of restarting reactors to deal with a looming power crunch this winter.
Kishida chose Yasutoshi Nishimura as the new economy, trade and industry minister, who will be responsible for steering energy policy. Nishimura began his career at the ministry, and has served as minister in charge of economic and fiscal policy.
“The broad plan is to restart nuclear reactors that meet safety requirements,” Nishimura said Wednesday.
Generally, a reserve electricity generating capacity of 3% is required to ensure a stable supply. But areas served by Tokyo Electric Power Co. Holdings and Tohoku Electric Power, which includes the greater capital region, are expected to have a 1.5% buffer in January. Those served by six other major utilities, including the cities of Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, are expected to have a buffer of 1.9%. The government aims to have nine nuclear reactors running this winter and to restart fossil fuel power plants to meet demand.
Japan currently has no plans to build new nuclear reactors. But a council under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has drafted a road map for developing fast reactors and other cutting-edge nuclear power technology. The government faces a difficult decision between public opinion, which turned against nuclear power after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi disaster, and bolstering its electricity supply.
