Takaichi's Tone Deaf Tour: A Government That Can't Connect The Japanese government's latest attempt at public relations has hit a sour note.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's visit to earthquake hit Kumamoto was meant to showcase her administration's response to the disaster, but it sparked criticism over its insensitivity and opportunism.
A video posted by the Prime Minister's Office shows Takaichi flying over affected areas in a helicopter, meeting residents, and inspecting an evacuation center.
