Editorial: Why is LDP backtracking on separate surnames for Japanese married couples?

It appears that moves to allow married Japanese couples to retain different surnames upon marriage are taking a step back, as the government is set to tone down references to such a move in its Fifth Basic Plan for Gender Equality.
Seiko Hashimoto, minister of state for gender equality, had indicated she intended to include forward-looking proposals in the plan, and momentum had been growing in society toward this.
But now the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is behind the toned-down expressions.
The Cabinet Office's original draft focused on the inconvenience associated with forcing people to adopt a single surname upon marriage, and it noted that Japan was the only country that did so. It expressed hope for speedy debate in the Diet, and the government had concluded that it would "proceed with the necessary measures."
