27.06.2025 โ‡ข Day First Execution Returns
โŒจJapan executed the Zama serial killer who murdered nine people in 2017, marking the country's first execution since 2022. The hanging dominated coverage throughout the day, appearing across multiple outlets as authorities broke nearly three years of execution suspension.

The Nikkei temporarily broke 40,000 points for the first time in five months, driven by global stock gains and reduced concerns about US tariff policies. However, analysts warned the recovery might not sustain amid buyback surges.

Corporate governance tensions intensified as shareholder meetings revealed CEOs facing unprecedented low approval rates, with Ricoh's president at 64% and DeNA's at 72%. Analysis suggested companies experiencing leadership crises subsequently see stock price increases.

The Supreme Court ruled welfare payment reductions illegal, requiring additional payments to recipients. Western Japan experienced an unusually early end to the rainy season, while rice imports surged to 3.5 times the entire previous fiscal year total.
