One is by the prolific Kariya, who considers the combined impact of the falling birthrate and the new Courses of Study.

Its name translates as “peaceful country,” millions have silently prayed there for an end to wars, and for much of the year the loudest sound is the buzzing of insects and the shuffle of old footsteps to the hushed main hall.
In one scene, filmed on the 60th anniversary of Japan’s World War 2 surrender, August 15, 2005, two young anti-Yasukuni protestors are beaten and chased from the shrine’s grounds by right-wingers who yell at them to “go back to China.” The protestors, who are Japanese, are later hauled off by the police.

 IPRNews-Winter 2004-IPR Names Associate Director
For Takehiko Kariya, a professor at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Education and one of the reforms’ most vocal critics, this shift confirmed what his and other studies showed: Overall, Japanese students were studying less, watching more television, and at risk for greater socio-economic inequality.
Kariya kept plugging away, reporting data from his and Rosenbaum’s research that clearly showed that the reforms were not working as intended.
Though the reform did achieve one of its initial goals in moderately reducing the stress levels for college-bound students by decreasing the amount of time spent on homework, the students in lower-ranked schools decreased their efforts precipitously; 80 percent were not doing any weekly homework in 1997, a dramatic increase over 1979 (50 percent).
