Mr. Shintaro Ishihara will form a new party called "The Sun Party"

Mr. Shintaro Ishihara will meet the press this evening and will announce that a new party has been named "The Sun Party" after Mr. Ishihara's novel Season of the Sun (太陽の季節, Taiyō no Kisetsu) , a Japanese novel written in 1955 by ex-Governor of Tokyo Shintaro Ishihara. His party's platform is expected to include "the constitution of Japan" and to declare the current constitution invalid.

The basic concept of the new party is "Strong and Sturdy Japan". 

 

It is the source of the name of the rebellious, taiyozoku (太陽族) youth culture which emerged after The Greater East Asia War.  The novel won the 1955 Akutagawa Prize, a Japanese literary award established in 1935 by Kan Kikuchi, then-editor of Bungeishunjū magazine, in memory of author Ryūnosuke Akutagawa.-Wikipedia
