"You're my god!"
Members of the British hard rock band Deep Purple paid a courtesy visit to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on 10 April during their stay in Japan. Takaichi, who has long said she is a fan, greeted the group with a pair of drumsticks. She told them they were like gods to her, according to those present. It was a personal moment, and she did not hold back much.
She also spoke about her own connection to the band. In junior high school, she said, she had played keyboard in a Deep Purple cover band. Later, while at university, she took up the drums. The conversation stayed on that theme for a while, moving between music and her own memories.
