Hitomukashi mae made “ichioku chūryūkaikyū” to iwarete-ita Nihon no shomin kaikyū wa, “ichioku sō shayōzoku” kashi tsutsuaru.Japan’s common people, who were long called the ‘hundred-million middle class’ are in the process of becoming ‘one hundred million impoverished aristocrats’.

Iwayuru shayōzoku no shikashi, koko de watashi ga hito koto dake itte-okitai koto wa, “Shayō” to iu shōsetsu kara shayōzoku to iu mondai sei ga imi o motte-kuru yō ni kangaeru no dearu.Regarding the so-called decline of elites, the only thing I want to say here is that the problem gets the name shayōzoku from the novel Shayō.
