Education minister Hirokazu Matsuno said, "We sincerely accept the people's voice and will conduct an additional investigation"

oh please. enough with the horse manure. You are going to do Jack, and he already left town.

Even if (the documents) existed, whether what is written there is true or not is another story," Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Koichi Hagiuda said.

see?

Matsuno said he has been told by Abe to "conduct a thorough investigation expeditiously," and that the scope of the probe will be expanded from the previous one conducted in May

correction: he has been told by Abe to "conduct a thorough investigation expeditiously and get rid of any evidence".

It's been out there for months, suddenly documents from ministry's are found not to be factual...cough, cough. These ministry's who destroy contracts, loose documents and seem to be unable to substantiate anything. Are drawing my attention at least.
