| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This year I have completed 3 chapters for a book I will publish on Russian media and foreign relations that is the main output of my kakenhi project. In December 2022, I signed a contract with Routledge to publish this book. I also gave a presentation on my kakenhi research at the UK PSA conference entitled ‘Putin, Politics and Propagandizing Memories of WWII in East Asia’. I also gave a talk on: ‘Britain’s New Prime Minister: How Did We Get Here and What Can We Expect?’ at Temple University, in September 2022. In January 2023, I submitted a manuscript for a book entitled ‘Contemporary Prime Ministerial Leadership in Britain and Japan’ to Palgrave (published August 2023). I also published a coedited book in April 2023 entitled ‘The Routledge Handbook of Trauma in East Asia’.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Owing to the war in Ukraine I have had to cancel my plans to conduct field work research interviews with journalists in Russia. Instead, I have been able to speak to contacts in Russia via Zoom, but the culture of repression in Russia at the moment means some planned interviewees are reluctant to talk.
I have become research director of my university research institute. This is a big time commitment, but it also allows me opportunities to present my research and invite speaker on topics related to my kakenhi project.
Overall, I am on track to complete my book manuscript by spring 2025

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I am making plans to visit Kazakhstan and Tajikistan to interview journalists about how they report on the war in Ukraine as countries that have sizeable Russian populations. This is in lieu of visiting Russia. This will form part of a book chapter on Russian media and reporting on Central Asia.
I will continue to research and write the final 3 chapters of my book manuscript. This will entail visiting Cambridge University library that has a good archive of Russian media sources. Gaining access to Russian media sources has become more challenging since the start of the Ukraine war as many channels are now blocked in Japan and in other states. At Cambridge, I am able to access databases with the media resources I need.

| Causes of Carryover |
I did not use all my research funds in 2022 as the war between Russia and Ukraine prevented me from traveling to Moscow as I had planned in June 2022. Next year I will use funds to travel to Cambridge to use Russian media archives at the University Library. I will also use funds to travel to the UK to present at the PSA conference (March). I will take a research trip to Central Asia to interview journalists about reporting on international affairs. I previously planned to travel to Moscow, but as this is now impossible because of the Ukraine war. I will also use my research funds to cover access to the BBC media monitoring archives. This is part of a contingency plan, as I planned to directly access Russian websites, but these are blocked.
