| Message | We would like to have state subsidies go to both artistic institutions and individual artists however article 1 is still a good change on the current law, so we support it. We also support all other articles and appreciate People's Party efforts to fight for what's right and protect arts. We can no longer ignore the problems of our no-responsibility economic system that delegates everything on private hands. Saki Hamasaki, Spokesperson of Change |

| Message | Private citizens and the private sector are much better at protecting our cultural heritage than a bunch of bureaucrats in Inshinawa. |
