00:05The fact that we, the People's Liberation Army, and the Yuto Komeito, which is a coalition government, have lost so many people is the pinnacle of our hatred.

00:28I believe that the most important thing is that the people's concerns, distrust, and anger about politics and money have not been eroded.

01:08We are in a difficult situation in terms of security guarantees and the economy.
01:16We cannot afford to be stagnant.
