And this year's theme is "坂本 龍馬"("Ryoma Sakamoto") who has a national popularity.

Moreover, he was a businessperson who established the company for the first time in Japan and he was said that he and his wife honeymooned for the first time in Japan.
Many of Japanese businessperson respect "坂本 龍馬"("Ryoma Sakamoto").
After he becomes the hero of this year's "大河ドラマ"("Taiga Drama"), the bookstores deal in more and more of "坂本 龍馬"("Ryoma Sakamoto")'s books.
"坂本 龍馬"("Ryoma Sakamoto") has left a lot of sayings.
- "日本を今一度せんたくいたし申し候"("Nihon-Wo-Imaichido-Sentaku-Itashi-Moushi-Sourou")
- This saying means we should reform rotted Japan again.
It is said that Japan in the end of Edo era where "坂本 龍馬"("Ryoma Sakamoto") lived looks like Japan now that has nearby one quadrillion yen debt, doesn't catch up with globalization and whose people are concerned about their politics and future.
That is why Japanese are wishing modern "坂本 龍馬"("Ryoma Sakamoto") to appear. But...
