The Diet convened on the 11th for the first time since the House of Representatives election, which saw the ruling party lose its majority, and new members of both the ruling and opposition parties made their first appearances. "We will reflect the will of the people in national politics," "We will say what needs to be said," and "We will also listen to the opinions of the opposition." With their certificates of election in hand, they renewed their pledges amid a light rain. At 8:00 AM, the new members, who had been waiting for the gates to open, took their first steps into the Diet Building.
