Former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone has proposed that the preamble for the new constitution.
To concrete, it refers Japan's history, tradition, and national character,which the current Constitution lucks. And it also states that, "Japanese citizens have had the Emperor as a symbol of the unity of the people for all time."
Nakasone said that proposal draft of preamble made by the Liberal Democratic Party is "sloppy" because its made in a hurry.
However, his suggestion of preamble of 2005 was revised by LDP's exclusive including ex-Prime minister Junichiro Koizumi in the LDP's comittee for drafting new constitution in 2005.
