Dear Diet Member Keiichiro Asao:

My three daughters love Japan. Though now living in the United States, they spent their formative years in Tokyo and Yokohama. They travel to Japan regularly, though not as often as they'd like. They speak Japanese enthusiastically, though not fluently. Their mother is Japanese. Their grandparents live in Osaka. They all dream of living in Japan again as adults and becoming a part of the social and economic fabric of the country.

And my daughters are citizens of Japan.
