(Continuation from yesterday)
Well, I would like to take this opportunity to summarize the people who came to "break" my heart -- before I forget.
Tokyo High Public Prosecutor's Office Chief Prosecutor Hiromu Kurokawa → Gambled against requests to refrain from going out and avoid "three secrets".
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga → While requesting to limit the number of diners to four or more, he held a dinner with eight people.
Toshihiro Nikai, Secretary General of the LDP → Same as above
Minister of State for the Olympic Games Seiko Hashimoto → Dinner with six people
Shigeru Ishiba, former secretary general of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), holds a fugu dinner for a large group of people.
Takumoto Yamazaki, Vice President of the LDP → Same as above
Kiyohiko Toyama, a member of the House of Representatives from the New Komeito Party, stayed at a club in Ginza, Tokyo until midnight on January 22, 2021, under a declared state of emergency.
Jun Matsumoto, former National Public Safety Commissioner of the Liberal Democratic Party, visited a club in Ginza late at night.
Director of the House of Representatives Steering Committee, Takashi Otsuka of the Liberal Democratic Party → He was visiting a club in Ginza late at night.
Vice Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Taido Tanose of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) → visited a club in Ginza late at night.
I did a little research and found a lot more.
Kamon Iizumi, Governor of Tokushima Prefecture → Dinner with 46 members of the prefectural assembly
The LDP members of the Saitama Prefectural Assembly → About 30 members of the LDP members of the Saitama Prefectural Assembly were launched at a hotel in Saitama City on the night of December 18.
Fourteen city councilors belonging to the "Citizen's Club," a faction of the LDP in Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture → On December 18, they invited three female companions to a large banquet at an inn run by the city councilor, calling it the launch of the December assembly.
I'm going to stop now because it's getting tedious, but the bottom line is that these people are also "badasses" who are afraid of being the only one absent.
Let me explain it a little more carefully.
"If you're the only one who's absent because of Corona, you're afraid of being treated like a slacker, so you attend.
like this one.

I was quite worried that the chief prosecutor of the Tokyo High Public Prosecutors Office, Hiromu Kurokawa, would commit suicide out of remorse and self-punishment, regardless of the criticism from the public.
The Tokyo High Public Prosecutors Office is an organization of justice that exposes the darkness of state power, and the chief prosecutor is the head of the organization of justice, directing and supervising the staff of the District Public Prosecutors Office and the District Public Prosecutors Office.
After all, what my generation remembers is the Lockheed case.
The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigation Department, under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo High Public Prosecutors Office, was our hero.
For a person in this position to play "betting mah-jongg in the Corona vortex" should be a disgrace to the faceless public, to the organization and to one's own subordinates, regardless of what the law says (right?). It's a shame that you can't face the organization or your subordinates.
And many Japanese have tried to apologize to their organizations and families for such "shame" by committing suicide.
So I was really worried about it.
That's why I didn't mention any of this -- apparently, my fears were unfounded.
I was relieved.

Now I wonder if it would have been better to write something anachronistic like, "Cut your belly open and show your apologies to the people.
