“I believe that we have to look at our own history with humility and think about our responsibility.”

Japan wants to play its best role for the peace and stability of the region.

If there are people who sense they are facing inequality, it is the role of politics to shed light on them.

We must rebuild trust in the system so that the younger generation can feel reassured.

That power is found in the people. I am able to overcome any kind of challenge so long as I am working together with the people.

We should make a structure that will emotionally move people all over the world.

We are confident that we will continue to play an active role in national affairs without disappointing everyone’s expectations.

We aim to achieve general progress in relations between North Korea and Japan.

I think it is the responsibility of anyone involved in politics to always think of what Japan can do to contribute more to the peace and stability not just of Japan and the region but of the entire world.

One country alone cannot defend and protect its own peace and security.

In order to realize a world free of nuclear weapons, we must fulfill our mission to pass on the memories of the atomic bomb across national borders and generations without fading.

We will expand the circle of women’s success by working to promote the taking of leave and leave for men raising children.

History is harsh. What is done cannot be undone.

We have actively worked to share our experience of development with other nations, especially in Asia.

For the sake of peace in the Middle East and the world, Japan will never give up and will continue to play its best possible role.

I try to exercise in nature, and I try to play golf once a month. The last time I played golf with my wife, however, she got better scores than me, which became an additional source of stress.

We must build a world that is free from the sufferings of the devastation of war.

We have no right to believe that freedom can be won without struggle.

Believe that a miracle can happen for you.

I believe in life. And I have seen the death parade.

No matter what happens, no matter how far you seem to be away from where you want to be, never stop believing that you will somehow make it.

You start believing in god when the devil finds you.

The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not.

The first part of planning is to believe that you can put that plan into practice.

I believe in living, I believe in birth, I believe in the sweat of love and in the fire of truth and I believe that a lost ship, steered by tired, sea sick sailors, can still be guided home to port.
