Honest Conversations with a Taxi, Sapporo Version

We follow a conversation in a cab car in Sapporo. Sapporo has been hit hard by the financial meltdown caused by the bursting of the bubble economy. Economic recovery has yet to be realized, and the entertainment district of Susukino continues to decline. On the other hand, there was positive news in 2006, when the local Nippon Ham Fighters team won the championship for the first time in 25 years. In late September, when the new Abe administration took office, we followed the conversations of Sapporo's taxi drivers for 72 hours to get a picture of the real feelings of ordinary people in Sapporo, which are different from those in Tokyo.
