The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
At the funeral of Nikkei Newspaper reporter
Even if there was a time when I did not meet with Prime Minister for a while, I do not think anything.
Because 'a prime minister is always the same', there is a sense of security that we can think so.
I guess surely all friends of Abe Prime Minister for many years think so.
In addition, he has a warm heart not to forget his old duty.
It was when Mr. Ina Hisayoshi, special editor of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, died in 2016.
In memory of a nostalgic reporter from seniors’ class, I also went to the church where I became a funeral hall, but the name tag I got was the name of Prime Minister.
The telegram that the moderator began to read ‘well then, recite the condolence,’ was talking about Mr. Ina’s last appearance.
With content like 'He was still writing the manuscript on the bed, I think that it was the last writing', it will catch the hearts of those who hear.
Whose telegram is it on earth?
Then the moderator will introduce the sender as 'Prime Minister Shinzo Abe'.
‘What, did the prime minister went to a hospital of Mr. Ina? I did not go eventually.’
When I was upset by such inner conflict, a policeman came in as briskly.
The Prime Minister appeared and sat on the front row, first and foremost offer flowers.
The reporter Mr. Ina was not the type who wants to advertise closeness with the Prime Minister.
In fact, I do not think that he was talking so often.
Imagine from here, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe got acquainted with Ina reporter, who was in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, when he was forced to enter the world of politics as a secretary of his father, Shintaro Abe Foreign Minister (then).
Is it such a circumstance that the two of them shared the times when they were still young and not 'anyone' and made a memorable memory?
Anyway, as far as there is not a heart to feel important deeply about the already distant remembrance really, I think that it will not do so far.
When I talked to Mrs. Akie such a thing, ‘That's right, It does not understand all such kind places of the husband easily. Taniguchi-san please also say’, I was asked.
It is a good couple.
