Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, basking in record approval ratings, hopes to score another hit with a weekly Cabinet e-mail magazine.
Koizumi, 58, announced in his first policy speech May 7 that he hopes the "Koizumi Cabinet Mail Magazine," to be sent out every Thursday beginning in June, will bring him and politics closer to the public.
Japan Internet Com Corp., an Internet business news service, and Infoplant Co., a media research firm, said more than half of the 300 Net users they surveyed were interested in the forthcoming "Koizumi meru maga."
