He delivered a speech in English, and various comments were made on social networking sites about Takaichi’s language skills. Balliya suggested, “If Mr. Takaichi really wants to make a speech in English in public, he should have an interpreter speak English and listen to it through earphones from now on. I’ve heard English with a French accent, English with a Middle Eastern accent, Japanese English, and so on, but usually, at least in the English of a speaker in such a situation, the content can be understood. The post received a wide variety of opinions, both positive and negative, and Maritani responded to comments that agreed with her, saying, “I don’t think so. I don’t think that’s right.
