This morning, Mr. Abe shared a video of his life at home on Twitter.
With the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, many places in Japan have entered a "state of emergency", and the government has called on the public to "not go out of the house if it is not urgent". This morning, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe shared a video on Twitter, "in the same frame" with the famous Japanese singer Hoshino Yuan, in this way calling on the public to "stay at home".
At about 9:00 a.m. local time on the 12th, Abe shared an edited video on Twitter, the left is a selfie video of Hoshino Playing and Singing his new work "Dance at Home", and on the right is Abe's daily life of raising dogs at home, drinking water, reading books, and watching TV.
Abe wrote in a shared video, "I can't see my friends. Can't attend a cocktail party. However, it is everyone's behavior that has really saved many lives. Moreover, in this way, it will also help to reduce the burden on those medical practitioners who are struggling on the front line of cruelty. I am sincerely grateful for the assistance of each and every one of you. ”
Later, Abe wrote, "Although we have lost our daily lives in the past, we can still feel the ties between people through social media and phone calls." I believe that at some point in the future, the day when everyone will gather together and laugh and talk will surely come. In order to usher in that tomorrow, today... Please work together. #在家跳舞吧 #星野源先生"
In fact, the reason why Abe released such a video stemmed from a "campaign" launched by Hoshino On Social Media a week ago. On April 3, Hoshino sent a video on his personal Instagram account saying that he had recently created a new song "Dance at Home" while staying at home, to the effect that he called on everyone to stay at home, "If we all close the door, we can usher in tomorrow, let's play together again." At the end of the tweet, Hoshino wrote, "Following this video, are you going to accompany, chorus, or dance with an instrument?" In addition, he added the hashtags #Dance At Home and #Hoshino Gendo.
