For those interested in the speech and the grammar, language, vocab used therein, let's get this thread going. I'm going to start reading/listening studying it and may post some comments and questions here.

Thanks for putting up the links...

It's great to have audio / text / translation all in one place. I'm tied up next week so won't be able to do anything until after that but have bookmarked this thread. Just think, with enough practice, you too, can sound like a Japanese politician. : )

Thanks so much. I began listening to this and working through some of the vocabulary.

By the way, kodorakun, is there any way to extract or download the audio? I'm refering to the video's audio because I couldn't find an audio file perse.

Never mind. I finally figured out how to get the audio. Thanks. ;-)

For others as not as slick as grillopelu, you can do a similar search on youtube and find the youtube video, which most video download utilities can leech easily (I use the command line "youtube-dl" script).

Anyway, I'm pretty busy this week too so my political project is a little delayed, but I will post my comments here once I get through it! Glad you all are looking forward to it too.
