The departure of Horiuchi coincides with the end of a period designated by law to create the ministerial post in charge of work related to last summer's Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, a title she has doubled in the cabinet of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
Ms. Horiuchi did an admirable job forcing the Olympics down the throat of the people of Japan, now she has a well deserved rest.
I am sure Mr. Matsuno's double duties will not be too much of a burden. The life of an LDP politico is something else.

That must be why they just announced plans to spend 667 billion yen to purchase a 4th round of vaccines.
