Hatoyama Yukio On Visiting Yasukuni...

...should he become Prime Minister. From The Yomiuri Shimbun:

「Ａ級戦犯が合祀されている状況の中では参拝すべきでないと主張してきた」

"I have insisted that as long as there is a situation where Class A War War Criminals are enshrined there, there is no reason to pay one's respects there."

and

「天皇陛下が参拝できるような靖国神社にしたい」

"I want to make Yasukuni Shrine into a place where the Emperor can pay his respects"

...which alludes to the unofficial ban, self-imposed by the Showa Emperor, on imperial visits to Yasukuni following the 1979 revelation of the secret enshrinement ceremony.

In case you missed the report.
