The Dark Side of the Prime Minister’s Mind Runs Deep”… “That Man” Moves to “Down Kishida” for Blitzkrieg Visit to Ukraine

Prime Minister Kishida has been looking strangely energetic lately. Is he really in good spirits or ……” (LDP official)

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, 65, talking on a certain day, avoiding the cameras of the press. On the back of his phone is a Senja-fuda-style sticker with the four characters “Carp Boy” and “Fumio Kishida” from the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.

Hiroshima is, needless to say, the Kishida family’s hometown and their own ground. He is an avid Carp fan and threw out the first pitch at Mazda Stadium in 2016, and at the first pitch of the WBC game against Korea on March 10, he threw out a “one-bang pitch,” not unlike a member of the Kaisei High School baseball team, but his love for the Carp is probably no lie.

Prime Minister Kishida paid a surprise visit to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and held talks with President Zelensky. In the midst of the chaotic international situation, the G7 Hiroshima Summit to be held this May is a very important moment. Prime Minister Kishida will be making a triumphant return to Hiroshima, which holds more fond memories for him than any other place, and he is surely planning to decorate the “hometown of the Kishida family” in a triumphant manner.

However, what Kishida will be displaying at the summit may not be “brocade” but “flower arrangement. To put it bluntly, Kishida’s administration is in shambles. Although the Cabinet’s approval rating has recovered, Kishida’s biggest obstacle is that he has no allies. This is one of the reasons why his eldest son, Shotaro, who has been installed as his secretary, has not been removed from office, no matter how much he is bashed.

A secretary to an LDP lawmaker said, “The reason they don’t cut Shoutarou is because they don’t want to lose him.

He is the only person we can trust. It seems that Mr. Kishida is harboring a deep darkness that even we don’t understand.
