TOKYO, Dec 28 (News On Japan) –
Prime Minister Ishiba, who plans to maneuver into the official residence as early as December twenty eighth, addressed rumors that the residence is haunted, stating, “I’m from the Oba-Q generation, so I’m not afraid.”
Ishiba remarked, “My generation grew up with ‘Obake no Q-Taro.’ Do you know it? Maybe you don’t. I’m not really scared. Of course, seeing one might be frightening, though.”
Currently residing in a parliamentary housing complicated, Ishiba will transfer into the official residence following its renovation after former Prime Minister Kishida vacated the premises.
The official residence has lengthy been rumored to be haunted on account of its reference to historic occasions just like the February 26 Incident, throughout which younger army officers staged an assault that resulted in fatalities. Rumors of ghost sightings have continued ever since.
