Politics is a game of poker! We have seen only the winning wild joker! The story is much deeper than Inose's inevitable departure! Japanese politics is subtle and fluid! Their is more to this than meet's the eye. Mark my words!

Official arrest means one thing only - death sentence! Who are the others arrested? 3kg is one hell of a lot of drugs. If he is guilty then there is no mercy here...
