When there is a big news, an extra edition of newspaper is issued. That is called gogai (号外) in Japanese. It is sometimes a good news, but other times a bad news.
Yesterday it seems the gogai was issued.
Many people must have remembered the last Japanese Minister of Finance who had an TV interview after the Rome Summit in February. Shoichi Nakagawa (中川昭一) looked drunk at that time, and resigned after that.
Yesterday morning he was found dead in his bedroom at home. We do not know the reason but it seems he died of any kind of disease. We were astonished by the news. He was 56 years old.
His father was also a politician and passed away suddenly. After his death, he decided to be a politician. He served as Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and Ministry of Finance.
