For the purpose of this debate, "cut-off culture" refers to the social phenomenon of figuratively cutting people out of one's life. Anyone from acquaintances to significant figures which may include, but are not limited to, close friends and family members are capable of being cut-off from one's life. This act is most commonly, though not exclusively, done at or after the point of conflict/tension within a relationship.

To be spiritually fluid means to have the experience of being shaped by or maintaining bonds to more than one spiritual or religious community at the same time.

De-dollarization refers to a range of policies countries can take to reduce their reliance on the US dollar.

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has dominated the Japanese political landscape since its inception in 1955. At the moment, the LDP, with massive funding, has no real opposition. It alone currently has 276 seats in the House of Representatives of 465 seats and forms a coalition with Komei Party which has 29 seats.
Its political ideology is often seen as more conservative than the people: it opposes legalising gay marriage and immigration, it emphasises on traditional family values and nationalism, and it advocates strongly for strengthening Japan’s relationship with the US and further militarisation of Japan.
