I posted an article on Unity’s blog on April 29, 2011, where I introduced six people as “pioneers of this age.” Mrs. Miyuki Hatoyama, you are the last
performer. You are the only person that
can start a disclosure project in Japan.
Let’s change the world.

English translation of an excerpt of a

A candidate as a representative of the
people, never belonging to LDP/New Komeito or DPJ, has appeared on the
scene. Kenji
Utsunomiya, the former president of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations,
who will run for the Tokyo gubernatorial election (to be announced on November
29 and to be held on December 16), with a goal of denuclearization and
anti-poverty, has held the kickoff meeting at Nakano Ward tonight.
Expected candidate Utsunomiya was born at a
farming and fishing village in Ehime Prefecture on December 1946. His father was a disable soldier and his
family was in poverty. He looks back and
says “I had never eaten rice when I was a child.”
Mr. Utsunomiya, the representative of Anti-Poverty
Network, served as an honorary chief of Tent City for Jobless over the New Year
Period, created at Hibiya Park in Tokyo at the end of 2008 when the bankruptcy
of Lehman Brothers caused many temporary workers to be laid off. He is also famous for his fight against
greedy loan sharks to stand with heavy debtors.
“Media Voluntary Support Group” – An election
race of Utsunomiya camp is going to be broadcasted live on Ustream. = Photo by Tanaka =
“To create Tokyo with a goal of denuclearization
is to create Japan and the world with the same goal. Tokyo without nuclear power generation will
be environmentally-friendly Tokyo and Japan………….The Ishihara Metropolitan
government which carried out a large-scale development has expanded poverty and
widened the gap between the rich and the poor. …………………………………… Let’s create
peaceful Japan.” Mr. Utsunomiya has
clearly revealed a policy for breaking away from the Ishihara Metropolitan
government policy.
Although newspapers and TV stations cover candidates
of LDP/New Komeito and DPJ with great fanfare, Mr.
Utsunomiya will use SNS sites through citizen media. It seems that voluntary group of ordinary
people with no affiliation with any labor union, industry segment or religious organization,
will carry on a campaign.
Nuclear power plant and poverty issues are
the biggest subjects that Japanese common people can never escape from. We cannot keep away our eyes off expected candidate
Utsunomiya who tries to tackle these issues head-on.
