		Time off for Japan's Tomiichi Murayama seemed to be going exactly as planned, in the bosom of his family and the privacy of contemplation.
		Murayama's new partnership with the small New Party and the L.D.P., the object of Socialist recriminations for many years, was a wonder for Japanese to behold--a distinctly weird coupling comprehensible only as naked expediency.
		Murayama has accepted the legitimacy of the Self-Defense Forces, endorsed Japan's security treaty with the U.S. and invoked the extreme antisubversion law against a religious sect: Aum Shinrikyo, the far-out cult accused of killing 12 subway riders and sickening thousands by planting sarin-gas bombs in the transit system last March.

	New Party Sakigake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1994, New Party Sakigake took part in the government of Murayama Tomiichi, a government coalition of the Liberal Democrats and the Japan Socialist Party, which replaced the liberal coalition headed the previous year by the Japan Renewal Party.
		The Sakigake Party took part in the government of Murayama Tomiichi, which was basically a government coalition with the LDP and the Japan Socialist Party.
		In 1997, the New Party Sakigake had 2 members in the House of Representatives and 3 members in the House of Councillors, which was good for them, especially after the LDP became the ruling party again.

	Former Japanese PM Angered by Koizumi's Shrine Statement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Tomiichi Murayama, the first Japanese prime minister to formally admit Japan's responsibility in World War II, expressed outrage that words from his 1995 statement of apology were used to justify Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's visit to Yasukuni Shrine, a leading Japanese newspaper reported Wednesday.
		Murayama, former leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), served as Japanese prime minister in a coalition government when Japan marked the 50th anniversary of the end of the war.
		Murayama's expression of "remorse" for "Japan's colonial rule and aggression" has since become the Japanese government’s official stance concerning the country's military past.

	Murayama, Tomiichi
		At the age of 70, Murayama, who had held no previous political office, became Japan's first socialist prime minister for more than 40 years.
		Despite losses for the SDPJ in upper-house elections in 1995, his administration survived until January 1996; he resigned from the SDPJ leadership in September 1996.

	Murayama Tomiichi -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		One of 11 children born to a fisherman, Murayama graduated from Meiji University in Tokyo in 1946 and then returned to Oita, where he became an activist in the local fishermen's union.
		The election in June 1994 of Tomiichi Murayama as Japan's first Socialist prime minister in 47 years surprised everyone, including himself.
		With no previous experience in government or international affairs and little economic expertise, the self-effacing Murayama, the third prime minister in a year, was viewed as another titular head of another shaky coalition.
