    “I’m sorry…that you were upset at what I said.
    And I would never have said it…if I knew you’d make such a drama over my true thoughts about you all.
    Going forward I will not say things like this out loud.
    There, look, I’ve said the word sorry and everything.”

    If it was me I would have put Yokohama in the title. It’s a city of 3.7 million people. That way it would be clear story is about a mayor of national importance.
