Reiwa Shinsengumi seems to have the highest growth at the moment. They have been hosting a lot of anti tax-increase protests and demonstrations recently (example). But they are still small. We will see what happens.

Some people do, but in general, not so much. The current leader, Izumi, lacks charisma, vision, and leadership. He said that he will resign if the party doesn't win enough seats in the next election, which looks to be the case.
Furthermore, there is quite a mix of people in the party with different opinions about policy, so some people say that the CDP is too far to the left, while other people say that they aren't left-wing enough.

The three major center-left and left-wing parties in Japan are:
-
Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP) (立憲民主党)
-
Japan Communist Party (JCP) (日本共産党)
-
Reiwa Shinsengumi (Reiwa) (れいわ新選組)
Each party is quite different, so I recommend looking at their policies and reading more about them.

One theory is that the cabinet will give the order to dissolve the church and then immediately call a snap election. It's quite possible that the order won't make it through the courts, but it will take them quite a long time to process the case. But in the meantime, the LDP will be able to cite the dissolution order whenever they are questioned about it during the election period, and it would give them a strong approval boost to help them maintain their coalition's majority. Post-election, if the courts toss out the dissolution order, it's win-win for the LDP.

Or vote out the LDP and elect politicians that aren't affiliated with the Unification Church cult. The LDP isn't going to enact reform to increase scrutiny on their own party.

From the article, four of the newly appointed ministers also admitted to having ties to the Unification Church.
Note that these ties are self-reported, so the actual number could be higher.

According to the Asahi Shimbun, there are 4 ministers in the new Kishida cabinet with confirmed ties to the Unification Church.
Additionally, via Jeffrey J. Hall:
It gets worse: The Asahi Shimbun is reporting that 26 of the 54 newly-appointed vice-ministers and parliamentary secretaries had ties to the Unification Church. That is mostly based on self-reported ties. The actual number could be higher.
