Sho's father became vice minister
Aug. 30th, 2015 08:42 pmAs I haven't seen this at LJ, I thought I'd share...
Sakurai Shun, Sho's father, has apparently been appointed as vice minister of internal affairs and communications in July. Said ministry has regulatory authority over the TV and radio industry.
Beforehand he was in the ministry for policy coordination. After graduating the University of Tokyo he joined the political world in 1977 and spent many years in the information and communications field.

The above is a summary of this article.
PS: I came upon this by accident and was like "woah!, what kind of family does Sho come from exactly?" I knew his father was some important person and his mother a university lecturer but still...
Sho and his father really resemble each other though =)
