Why People Say Japan Would End If Shinjiro Koizumi Became PM

Oct 02 (Japanese Comedian Meshida) - Japan is about to hold the leadership election of the ruling party, and the winner will become the next prime minister. Five candidates are in the running this time. Some people say Japan is doomed no matter who wins.
