Japanese government appoints hikikomori as head of council on "self-quarantine strategies" soranews24.com

Hikikomori are Japanese shut-ins, people who don’t leave their house under any circumstances.
Which is why the Japanese government recently announced that they’ve appointed a hikikomori as the head of the special emergency council on “self-quarantine strategies.”▼ The council is part of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism,and its official title is The Organization of Solitary and Celibate Study.
The list was whittled down after seeing which hikikomori would reply first to e-mails, then text messages, then a final phone call.
“We were looking for the Holy Grail of the hikikomori spirit, and we found it: angry posts online,” vice-chairman Son said.
Will the hikikomori “self-quarantine” council be as successful as Marie Kondo’s “spark joy” police taser campaign last year?
