The following is from Ms. Kaori Arimoto's tweet that I just discovered.

The year before last, when the party was shaken by the fact that married couples had different surnames and LGBT issues, Ms. Katayama boldly defended Japan.
At the time, Prime Minister Abe said, "I didn't know Ms. Katayama had such a strong conservative ideology. It's reassuring to have her, who has the best policies and brains, come to our side."
Joining the Abe faction is destined.
I wish you all the best.
