<h2> Takayoshi Tachibana, the prime minister of Japan, is a man who has been devouring &#8220;Takaichi&#8217;s interests&#8221; at his own discretion.</h2>
 The two were asked, &#8220;Do you believe the weekly magazine or your secretary? I believe the secretary.
 The opposition parties have been pursuing Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi (65) in the Diet every day. The Shukan Bunshun (May 7 and 14, 2014) reported allegations that the Takaichi camp created and spread negative videos of other camps in last year&#8217;s presidential election and this year&#8217;s lower house election. The prime minister responded.
 The prime minister denied the allegations, saying, &#8220;I have not disseminated any negative information.
 He denied that he had done so, and then used the opening words of his speech.

 Political commentator Harumi Arima commented on the current turmoil.
 When asked about the facts, he neither answered that he was doing it nor that he was not doing it, and tried to get by with a single sentence, &#8220;I believe my secretary. However, I also have the impression that he dodged the issue well. All parties and candidates use social networking strategies to a greater or lesser extent, so there should be some restrictions on elections in the future.
 He pointed out.
 However, Prime Minister Takaichi&#8217;s historic victory in the recent lower house election attracted a large number of people, and it seems as if they were conducting &#8220;Takaichi business. A source in Nagata-cho with knowledge of the situation said
 It is a fact that a part of the Koichi camp was single-handedly devouring the &#8220;Koichi interests. But that does not absolve the prime minister of his responsibility as an employer. &#8230;&#8230;
 The epicenter of the allegations of negligence
 The man at the epicenter of the alleged &#8220;negative campaign&#8221; is a man named &#8220;Ken Matsui. It was first widely reported during the crypto asset &#8220;SANAE TOKEN&#8221; fiasco.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 He is the CEO of &#8220;neu,&#8221; which participates in &#8220;NoBorderDAO,&#8221; a limited liability company that issued the tokens, and after Prime Minister Takaichi denied involvement in the tokens, he apologized for the commotion in X. On the other hand, he showed his face in Bunshun.
 &#8220;I had informed the Koichi office that the Sanae tokens were crypto assets.&#8221;
 and confessed that he had told the Takaichi office that SanaeToken was a crypto asset. He also revealed that he was involved in creating and spreading negative videos.
 Meanwhile, Takashi Tachibana, 58, who was charged with defamation against a former Hyogo Prefectural Assembly member and is currently being detained at the Kobe Detention Center, &#8220;participated&#8221; in this uproar. On May 13, his lawyer Fukunaga Katsuya, who is a close friend of the defendant, revealed on his YouTube channel that he received a letter from Tachibana.

<h2>Winning the Upper House election in 2028</h2>
 According to the letter, which was written on May 2, he read Bunshun&#8217;s report on the negative coverage of the Takaichi campaign and wrote, &#8220;I&#8217;m excited for the first time in a long time!
 [Joon] got me excited for the first time in a long time!
 he commented. He continued
 I have learned that it was Ken Matsui who made Sanae Takaichi president of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and who gave the LDP an overwhelming victory in the general election.
 He wrote, &#8220;The source of all this is
 The source of all this was Ken Matsui&#8217;s AI-based video postings on social networking services and YouTube.
 The source of all this was Ken Matsui&#8217;s use of AI to post videos on social networking sites and YouTube. Tachibana and Matsui apparently met at a party held in Roppongi in December 2011 to announce a virtual currency issued by Matsui&#8217;s company, which was also attended by KDPJ representative Tamaki. The defendant Tachibana is said to have been a member of the &#8220;Bitcoin Party&#8221;.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Tachibana said
 Ken Matsui is the one who decides who wins and loses elections in Japan today.
 Tachibana praised Matsui from beginning to end, saying such things as &#8220;Ken Matsui is the one who decides who wins and loses elections in Japan today. Although no date has been set for the first trial in his own case, and no bail has been set, Tachibana has not given up hope of returning to politics. In his letter, he wrote
 The next big election will be the nationwide local elections in April 2027. I will run for the prefectural assembly of Hyogo Prefecture in the Kita Ward of Kobe City.
 He declared, &#8220;I will run for the prefectural assembly in Hyogo Prefecture from the Kita Ward of Kobe City. He also hinted that he would team up with Matsui, who is in the midst of a whirlwind of controversy.
 I will test myself in the next Hyogo prefectural assembly election and win the upper house election in 2028.
 He also stated boldly, &#8220;I will test this in the next Hyogo Prefectural Assembly election and win the Upper House election in 2028. Lawyer Fukunaga said in the video
 I repeat that this is my own opinion and I do not know if it is true or not.
 However, it seems clear that Mr. Tachibana is in a state of excitement over the Bunshun report.
 &#8220;Tachibana&#8217;s allegations aside, there is no doubt that Matsui was involved in the political world as a &#8216;sleeper cell&#8217; even before this year&#8217;s lower house election and the Sanae Token issue,&#8221; said a source in Nagata-cho, a former Nagata Town government office.
 The Nagatacho insider mentioned above said, &#8220;Mr. Matsui is currently in the middle of the controversy. Matsui is believed to have left Japan and is currently residing overseas. According to a sports newspaper reporter
 The Sanae Token&#8217;s head, Yuji Mizoguchi, and others also seem to be out of touch. We have lost touch with them. We don&#8217;t know if he will come back to Japan again.
 The opposition party is now trying to get to the bottom of the situation.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 The opposition parties are hoping to contact Mr. Matsui as a trump card in their pursuit of Prime Minister Takaichi. Will the day ever come when he will be able to tell them everything?
