Jaw lax, hair falling out…” Prime Minister Kishida’s winter vacation and his recent appearance are a sight to behold…

With the Hiroshima summit as the highlight of his trip, Kishida is already in the mood to "draw the curtain" on his trip to the United States.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida departed for Paris, France, on a private plane in the early morning of January 9. After a completely off Christmas weekend and a New Year’s vacation, he is expected to be full of energy and stamina for his diplomacy. However

My hair is falling out. .”

Since the inauguration of the new administration, the approval rating has continued to decline, the close relationship between the Liberal Democratic Party and the Unification Church was exposed by the shooting death of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and the resignation domino of cabinet ministers…. The man who was once described as “handsome” is now 65 years old. It is no surprise that his hair is thinning.

At the end of the year, he drinks himself to death.

At an informal consolation party, the prime minister said, “I wondered what would happen after the summer. Perhaps under the stress of his plummeting approval rating, he has noticed a sudden increase in hair loss recently. He is a man who is confident in his smart appearance, so he was quite concerned about it.

Shortly before 7:00 p.m. on December 28, Prime Minister Kishida headed for the Chinese restaurant “Furika” in Higashi Azabu, Tokyo, to close out the year 2022 with a dinner at a high-class Chinese restaurant to thank his secretaries for their hard work.

Although it was a party to console the secretaries, I think the prime minister himself intended to drink to his heart’s content, something he had refrained from doing until now. He drank beer, rice wine, shochu, whiskey, and every other alcoholic beverage in the restaurant (laughs). At the end of the year, we pushed through the prime minister’s proposal to strengthen the defense system and finance it with income tax, so we must have felt a sense of accomplishment from that. I was on a roll.

However, I was able to shake off the advice of Vice President Taro Aso, Secretary General Toshimitsu Mogi, and former Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide, who had warned me, “Don’t say anything about raising taxes until after the nationwide local elections. I felt a sense of accomplishment, but at the same time I was anxious. He had a sense of accomplishment, but at the same time he was anxious, and he drank heavily. He was drunk.

The administration, which advocated the “power to listen” with the “Kishida Note,” a written record of the people’s voices, raised expectations for a new capitalism, and in May 2022, the Cabinet’s approval rating hit a high of 68%. While his predecessor, former Prime Minister Kan, appealed to the public with his muddled “Akita-born tataki & pancake” performance, his shtick and “smarts” were the main selling points.

The tide turned with the shooting of Mr. Abe. It was a roller coaster-like plunge from Mr. Abe’s funeral, and he must not have felt alive for the six months since.

The stress was caused by…

One Hiroike-kai delegate clearly stated, “The resignation dominoes have severely drained Prime Minister Kishida’s energy and stamina.

Yamashii’s (Minister of State for Economic Revitalization) answer was completely unacceptable. Why didn’t Hanashi immediately resign as Minister of Justice? Terada’s office expenses should have been settled as soon as possible. The biggest failure was Akiba (Minister of Reconstruction). A reporter close to the prime minister advised him that ‘no matter how you look at it, it’s all black,’ and his mind went completely blank and he lost control.

At the time, the prime minister was asking media outlets for exposure in order to restore his image, but they kept turning him down. Only one company BS BS Fuji, but his approval rating continued to decline.

With his eldest son, the secretary-general, who was suspected of “leaking information

Despite the year 2022, I finished my work “safely” on the 28th, and drank heavily. On New Year’s Eve, he and his wife Yuko, secretary Shoutarou, his eldest son who is suspected of leaking information, and his second son visited Yaesu Book Center, which he disclosed to the media.

They spent about an hour touring the store and 15 The titles disclosed are the titles of the Dostoevsky bookstore. The titles announced were Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, Volumes 1-5, Yoichi Ochiai’s Forgetting Reading, and the No. 1 bestseller Hideki Wada’s 80 The Wall of Ages” by Hideki Wada, the No. 1 bestseller. To be honest, this is a good choice right now? I’m not sure why I chose these books.

(Laughs.) “Perhaps he was planning to spend the New Year’s holiday relaxing, drinking his favorite sake and reading books….

On New Year’s Day, the launch of a missile by North Korea prompted an emergency gathering at the official residence of the Cabinet Emergency Management Director, the Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary, the Cabinet Intelligence Officer, and the Director General of the Defense Policy Bureau of the Ministry of Defense. The prime minister also spilled the beans, saying, ‘I was woken up within two hours of the start of the year. After that, he attended the New Year celebration at the Imperial Palace. He may not have had time to read.

Prime Minister Kishida spent a hectic New Year’s Day, but none of his fellow Diet members came to see him after that until the third day of the New Year.

He said, “The centerpiece policy of the Kishida administration this year is to strengthen measures for children. But the meaning of ‘a challenge of another dimension’ is unclear. I wondered if he was serious about doing it. He may have already set the Hiroshima summit in May as the highlight of his administration, and he may be in the mood to draw the curtain.

In the unmasked video from Europe, we were surprised to see his thinning hair and sagging jawline, which was covered by the flesh on the collar of his shirt. The Fumio Kishida who was smartly and loudly talking about “new capitalism” was no longer there.
