Original review summary

The review says LDP membership requires Japanese nationality, age 18 or older, agreement with the party’s principles, and no membership in another party; an existing party member must also introduce the applicant. It notes that the party does not require official documents to verify nationality, but concludes that the claim that foreigners or nonexistent people can become members is inaccurate.[S1]
