[The Jaybot]

Name the longest and the shortest tenure of all PMS listed.

The longest tenure among the Japanese Prime Ministers listed is held by Shinzo Abe, who served two non-consecutive terms from 2006 to 2007 and then from 2012 to 2020, totaling approximately 7 years and 8 months.

The shortest tenure among the Japanese Prime Ministers listed is held by Naruhiko Higashikuni, who served for only a few months in 1945, making his tenure the briefest in Japanese history.

My older son used songs like this one to learn the order of Japanese prime ministers. There are also similar songs for memorising the Chinese dynasties, etc.
