Welcome again to the Japan Considered Podcast. I'm Robert Angel, creator and host of the Podcast. Click through the Japan Considered website at www.JapanConsidered.org for more English language information on Japan's domestic politics and international relations.
This week we consider the political significance of the birth of Japan's newest Prince. Then we look again at the last days of the Koizumi premiership, and speculate on his role after leaving the Kantei.
Finally, in response to a large number of comments and questions via e-mail this week about my Factionist-Populist concept, I offer some clarification.
Please continue to send your comments and suggestions to me at RobertCAngel@gmail.com. I enjoy reading them, and take each one into consideration when planning subsequent programs.
