Of course not the Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, but Akira Koike of JCP.

As neighbour JCP people asked me to join its event, where Akkie would appear, I managed to join near the end. When he asked people to join JCP, he said it’s the matter of how they live. I can get what he wanted to say, but I think it’s more like the matter of how they die, especially many attendees are elderly. I may sound a bit rude, but I think how we die is equally important.

After the session, Koike-san also asked me to join JCP, but I said that I had declared to Saito-sensei that I wouldn’t join until they collaborate with him, and told Saito-sensei had said it was a good idea.

He reluctantly said he would manage. Really? Only to acquire one new member? Well go for it, Koike-san, then! Though it hasn’t happened for a year by now, I’m sure he’s super busy and just hasn’t got time. Take as much time as you like, it does me good by giving more moratorium. If I would really join JCP in the future though, I have to make contract to get lifetime exemption of delivering akahata newspaper in the early mornings.
