"Taking on challenges with a mindset of never giving up" (Posted on January 5)

"It is said that "politics is the art of the possible." There is no such thing as the "impossible." I believe that no matter how challenging a matter it may be, if you repeatedly advocate for your cause, your message will be understood and the situation will change... This is a year that will call into question 'what is politics for the sake of this nation and the Japanese people.' I will once more deepen my preparedness and determination."

"First and foremost must be the principle of Diet members themselves first undertaking the actions they call on others to take.
