In the 27th House of Councillors election, the Democratic Party for the People and Sanseitō significantly increased their number of seats, drawing widespread attention. Although Sanseitō was a minor party with only one seat since its founding just three years ago, it rapidly expanded its influence by securing 14 seats in this election. Behind the rise in support for both parties was their skillful use of communication through social media platforms such as SNS and YouTube. In particular, Sanseitō gained traction by voicing messages that resonated with public distrust of vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic and growing concerns over immigration and overtourism. Additionally, simple and impactful slogans like “Japan First” and “Increase Take-Home Pay” are seen as key factors in winning voter support.

第27回参議院選挙では、国民民主党と参政党が大幅に議席を伸ばし、注目を集めた。参政党は結成からわずか3年、従来は1議席の小政党にすぎなかったが、今回の選挙で14議席を獲得するなど、急速に勢力を拡大した。両党の支持拡大の背景には、SNSやYouTubeなどを通じた巧みな情報発信があり、特に参政党はコロナ禍におけるワクチンへの不信感や移民・観光に対する不安を反映した言説で支持を集めた。また、「日本人ファースト」「手取りを増やす」といったシンプルで印象的なスローガンも、有権者の共感を呼んだ要因とされる。
