I agree that the voting age in Japan should be lowered to 18.
Ⅴ
First of all, Japanese society is rapidly aging, and there are more and
more elderly people. The concerns of the elderly are not always the
same as the concerns of the young, so unless there is a balance, the
elderly will be deciding things that may be good for them, but not for
the future generations. So younger people need to vote and make
their voices heard politically. Also, by lowering the voting age to 18,
young people may feel more of a sense of responsibility and value.
That would surely benefit our present and future societies.

I disagree that the voting age in Japan should be lowered to 18.
First, young people in Japan today are not mentally mature enough
to understand or think about politics and the consequences of one
person’s vote in an election.
Second, most students are too busy
playing video games, reading manga or else studying for some exam.

They do not engage in political discussions or seem to be aware of the
problems facing Japan. I would be afraid of giving them the power
to vote until they are really ready. If we gave them the vote too early,
most of them would probably just vote for the most handsome or
beautiful candidate!
