Name of New Imperial era

from Quirky Japanese Podcast · host Yuto Ito

No one knows what is the name of the new era. On Monday, it will be revealed to the public through the media. Japanese Calender used the names Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and Heisei last four eras. The Meiji (enlightened rule) era of 1868-1912 is remembered as a period of western-inspired modernisation; the Showa (enlightened harmony) era, which began in 1926, is closely associated with Japan’s economic rise, but also with its role in the second world war. How was the Heisei? I was born in Heisei five years. Japan's economy was declining(or say stop growing). Whatever. The first year of Heisei, consumption tax started at 3%. A quarter-century passed. The tax rate was inclining to 8% under Abe's policy. Heisei means "achieving peace". When I was two years old baby, Great Hansin-Awaji earthquake happened, more than six thousands people died. Two months later, Tokyo subway sarin attack killed 12 people, over 6,000 people injured and still struggling. "Armageddon will happen, you will be saved within us." The terrorist's message was shown. In the past, emperors would change era names mid-reign to foster a spirit of renewal after natural disasters or crises; more recently, a single era has been used to mark the entirety of a monarch’s time on the Chrysanthemum throne. I think that earthquake or terrorism could be the one chance to change the name of new era?
