<p> The birth of the first female president did not &#8230;&#8230; take place.</p>
<p> The LDP presidential election was held on September 27. Shigeru Ishiba, 67, former secretary general of the LDP, was elected LDP president after winning a decisive vote against Sanae Takaichi, 63, minister in charge of economic security.</p>
<p> In the first round of voting, Takaichi received 181 votes, more than Ishiba, who received 154 votes, but the result was reversed in the runoff. While Takaichi received only 194 votes, Ishiba received 215 votes. She was the first female LDP president in history.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Ms. Takaichi is the most conservative member of the LDP and was a close friend of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. She gained support by stressing the importance of fiscal mobilization to stimulate economic growth and by advocating &#8216;making the Japanese archipelago strong and prosperous&#8217; through bold crisis management investments and growth investments. Although he was defeated in the runoff election, he made a conspicuous presence in this presidential race. As the LDP aims to renew its image, there are high expectations for her as a person who can see things from a woman&#8217;s perspective.</span><span class="strongInContent"> There are high expectations for her.</span></p>
<p> FRIDAY interviewed Takaichi in its October 1, 2009 issue, just before the last presidential election. At that time, Takaichi talked about his memories of his school days and his over-enthusiastic &#8220;love for the Hanshin Tigers. Here is a new look at this key figure of the LDP, which is undergoing a rebirth under the leadership of new LDP President Ishiba. (Some expressions in the text have been corrected.)</p>

<h3> A Youth Fueled by Music and Love</h3>
<p> The morning information program &#8220;Asa da,&#8221; which aired from November 1990 to March 1991, was aired on the TV channel &#8220;Asa da! What&#8217;s going on? (Fuji Television Network) from November 1990 to March 1991. What was his enthusiasm for running for president at that time?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I know how children feel when they clash with their parents and don&#8217;t want to stay at home,&#8221; he said. My strength is that I can relate to such real emotions of the people.</span></p>
<p> He revealed. In fact, Mr. Takaichi was raised strictly by his parents when he was a child. Perhaps as a reaction to this, he says he led an unrestrained life as a student.</p>

<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" He says, &quot;We would drink and do things in hotel rooms with a view of the sea.&quot;"></div>
<h3>He revealed, &#8220;My love life is too naked.</h3>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> When I was in high school, I was often late, so I used a motorcycle to get to school. Every morning I would put on a jersey under my skirt, climb over it, park it behind the school, and climb over the wire fence to get to school. I knew this was against school rules, so I knew I was not allowed to do this.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In college, I spent my days immersed in music. I loved heavy metal music and played as a drummer in four different bands. I especially liked &#8220;Iron Maiden&#8221; and &#8220;Black Sabbath,&#8221; and in my second or third year I even played in a professional backing band. I played drums behind Mariko Kobayashi, the &#8220;Janice of Naniwa. It was a lot of fun.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> In her book &#8220;30 Years Old Birthday, That Morning Something Will Change for a Woman&#8221; (1992, Yamato Shuppan), she reveals the naked love affairs of her past lovers: &#8220;In the Mediterranean, in a hotel room with a view of the sea, we drank and fucked each other,&#8221; and &#8220;I can&#8217;t talk unless I can drown myself in a state of pleasure with a partner. She also revealed the naked love stories of her past lovers.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> When I was in my 20s, I had a waist that was more than 15 cm thin. I was free to be in love when I was in my 20s and single, but after I started political activities at age 31, I was so occupied that I gradually lost interest in men.</span></p>
<p> I enjoy watching baseball games, especially the Hanshin Tigers. He is particularly fond of the Hanshin Tigers baseball team.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> When I wash my face every morning, I use a towel made by Satotel (Teruaki Sato). After washing my face, I make a wish that the Tigers will win the championship. If I hadn&#8217;t entered the presidential race, I could have watched every game on TV. That is my only regret.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> Mr. Takaichi revealed his past unrestrained views on love and his love for the Tigers, which was too strong. Under the leadership of President Ishiba, will he be able to realize politics that is &#8220;close to the real feelings of the people,&#8221; as he once said? All eyes are on his ability to do so.</p>
