Yuichiro Tamaki of the National Party explains the circumstances surrounding the receipt for a 22，000 yen hotel stay in Takamatsu City， saying， “My wife was present．”
Yuichiro Tamaki (55), leader of the Democratic Party for the People, updated his account on the 12th. He made an explanation regarding a hotel receipt he had cut in Takamatsu City. On the 11th, Tamaki said that the contents of the Flash online article about “an affair date with a former glamour model and Takamatsu City tourism ambassador” were “mostly true. I am truly sorry,” he said, apologizing at a press conference. Subsequently, images of the actual receipt, which was allegedly issued at a hotel in Takamatsu City, were spread online. The stay is believed to have taken place on November 18, 2011, and the total cost was 22,000 yen. Regarding the receipt, ordinary users have been asking, “What does this mean? I remember you said salary. Tamaki responded to inquiries such as “At today’s press conference.” “You have pointed out the hotel receipt dated November 18, 2023. This was used during an interview with a male secretary (who was on leave at the time and has since retired) regarding his return to work, and my wife was present,” he explained. He added, “Because it was clearly an official business of the office, it was recorded as correspondence expenses and the receipts were voluntarily made public. These are the exact facts,” he concluded. On the same day, Tamaki also apologized for his affair on x. “Apologies to everyone: I apologize for causing discomfort and concern to many people due to my private matter. “Once again, I would like to offer my sincere apologies,” he wrote, adding, “As a public figure and as a human being, I am keenly aware that my actions have greatly betrayed the trust placed in me by everyone.” He added, “I can never apologize enough to my family, especially my wife. I believe that all I can do is continue apologizing for the rest of my life.” “We take everyone’s criticism seriously and will work hard to regain trust,” he said. On this occasion, I am truly sorry,” he concluded.
As long as Tamakin pays the 22,000 yen, it doesn’t matter. Tamakin, don’t betray the consumption tax cut even if you die. How many trillion yen do you think this is?
It’s stupid that they’re making a fuss about 22,000 yen after they said they were innocent up to 40 million yen. It just shows how privileged the LDP is.
The expenditure of annual salary and his wife’s presence are unrelated. It makes no sense why he inserted it in between. It’s too evasive for a member of parliament.
>>41 You wouldn’t stay under a false name, would you? The person who makes the reservation and pays is usually the same person, but it’s not uncommon for the person staying in the room to be different. Is it true that the name on the guest list was a false one?
In a country where a man who has had repeated affairs and fathered 17 children is depicted on the new 10,000 yen bill, there is no need to make a big fuss about every extramarital affair. Basically, you just need to do a good job for the people.
The affair is okay, but the lack of a sense of danger that he’ll be found out right away and how uncool he is is just terrible. And the timing is terrible, making a mistake at the most important time. It’s rare to see someone go from a prime minister candidate to a dirty, adulterous old man overnight, even in a comedy sketch. No matter how good his policies are.
Aren’t correspondence expenses essentially pocket money that can be used however you like? In any case, even though he said it was “pocket money,” presenting a “receipt” is a no-no with no excuse.
