On July 20th, Japanese Prime Minister Yukie Akamine wrote a long letter expressing her troubles, stating that she is not only busy with work but also spends a lot of time doing household chores. She particularly mentioned that she sleeps less than 3 hours each day.

Kohishi detailed the household chores she did, including cleaning the bathroom herself, cooking and washing dishes, as well as doing laundry. She then continued working until late at night.
However, this seemingly "grounded" statement triggered strong resentment from many Japanese citizens.
Some Japanese netizens said that politicians should focus on political issues rather than boasting about doing housework and sleeping little.
Japanese netizens said, "It's terrifying that someone could think such things can be used as a publicity item, and this level of thinking is present among Japan's highest leaders."
Some netizens also said that, regardless of whether what Gao said is true or false, a prime minister who doesn’t handle government affairs properly and instead uses complaints like "sleeping while doing housework" to seek sympathy is actually a very distorted mindset.
