I will stake my whole soul and body to secure the power of the Democratic Party of Japan.

I feel great responsibility when I consider the tasks ahead - the renewal of our party and our road to power.

The Democratic Party of Japan is facing a critical moment right now.

I believe that changing government power is the true reform.

I will do my best, regardless of whether I would be running at the top or at the bottom.

We have only one goal: We will force the ruling coalition to a minority status in next year's upper house election. With this momentum, we will realize a change of power.
