In Japan, usually, once you become prime minister, you do not have a second chance.

I have to express sympathy from the bottom of my heart to those people who were taken as wartime comfort women. As a human being, I would like to express my sympathies, and also as prime minister of Japan I need to apologize to them.

I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis.

When I served as prime minister last time, I failed to prioritize my agenda. I was eager to complete everything at once, and ended my administration in failure. After resigning, for six years I traveled across the nation simply to listen.

I have never been bribed as a Prime Minister.

Yeah, well I'm not aspiring to be the Prime Minister.
