Today is National Foundation Day. Wikipedia has a nice brief article on the origins of the holiday in State Shinto:

Thus, it it should not be surprising that the political right and left commemorate the day in very different ways. This video from RKK shows how today the right (conservatives) commemorated it with patriotic messages and the left held an event to discuss the dangers of new Act on Protection of Specified Secrets.
