03.09.2025 ⇢ The day Niinami affirmed innocence
⌹Japanese media extensively covered Takeshi Niinami's activities on this day. Following his previous resignation from Suntory Holdings, Niinami stepped back from his role at Keizai Doyukai, with a press conference held to clarify these developments. He consistently asserted his innocence regarding an ongoing police investigation related to supplements, maintaining he had broken no laws. This domestic story became a key editorial focus throughout the day, following initial reports.

Simultaneously, international reporting continued to prioritize China's military parade, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War victory. President Xi Jinping, flanked by Russian and North Korean leaders, delivered stark warnings, leading some media to frame this alignment as an 'unforgivable axis' with significant geopolitical implications. Later in the day, a new domestic economic development emerged: the government's estimated budget request reached a record high of 122.4 trillion yen.
