And, of course, Abe has scoured the nation to find the best choice for METI minister - former PM Miyazawa's son. (To replace a former prime minister's daughter).
He has a degree in finance, an MPA from Harvard, and experience working in the Finance Ministry. Unlike Obuchi who didn't have any experience with energy, trade, or industry either.

Sure didn't take long for Abe to find replacements. Seems to me he had (has) a backup plan in place for all of them.

The Cabinet found out about the Shukan Shinchou article 5 days before the release, so they had time to find replacements.
