74, retire. And those who are also still in positions of Power...retire.

It was the map. Obviously too much for his system to cope with.

74 years old and should have been at home dandling his grandchildren on his knee.

Poor guy. I feel sorry for him. Who on Earth would give a 74 year old guy a post like that, with entirely different problems and at opposite ends of the country too?

At 74,this man should be enjoying time with his grand kids, playing croquette or sitting in the park reminiscing on the good old days.

74! hold on isnt the retirement age 60? I doubt he had to get a huge cut in pay also for working past the retirement age.

I bet he chose to work. The money must be good.

Trump will be 72 soon. Wish he'd retire or be retired.

Japanese women live longer. LDP might need to choose women to be ministers?

Contrary to you believe, minister's pay is low. That is why Koike, IInada, etc quited. Nice people who don't insult does not fit in the job. Such nice people had a job to argue against US military in English and Okinawan officials who are experienced to argue with protesters.

A minister for Okinawa and Northern Territories?

Is Okinawa a disputed territory like the Kurils now?

I didn't know.

Beside Okiawa, he had t deal. with. Russia,
