◇ Ishihara's full comment (original text)
This time, my second child was born safely. The doctor and midwife who looked after my first child three years ago also held my second child in their arms, and I was so moved that I burst into tears. I am deeply grateful to my family, friends, the people at my office, and the hospital for all their help and encouragement. I was also encouraged by the warm messages of support from everyone.
Thanks to everyone, we were able to start a new life together as a family of four. We will cherish and raise our second precious life. As we are in the midst of a seasonal change, please take care not to get sick. I sincerely pray that the world will become a place that is kind to all life.
