Some very advanced English learners in Japan yearn for becoming an interpreter. And some of them are interested in interpreting current news. Those people must memorize the names of Abe cabinet both in English and Japanese. For such people, I put their names and titles in English. I think that if you don't support Abe Cabinet (probably most of you do, I guess), memorizing their names and titles will be harder. As you know, becoming an interpreter is very very difficult. But, interpreting what you don't like is also hard. I had to interpret very stupid remarks of my boss at a meeting, which was much more stressful experience than be at a loss to find proper words or phrases.
