A few years ago in Japan's economy finally see the dawn of recovery, that finally ushered in a new vista. But, because of the inaction of politicians in Japan together with external factors such as the financial crisis, economic re-fall into the trough, the front field of vision is unknown, and the Prime Minister is like lantern-like frequent replacement.
