With the departure of "the last Kennedy," Edward Kennedy, the once prominent Kennedy family political dynasty in the US will gradually fade from public view. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the Hatoyama family, known as "Japan's Kennedy family," may be about to welcome their glory again. In the Japanese House of Representatives election held on August 30th, the Democratic Party achieved an unprecedented victory, and soon the fourth generation member of the family that has been active in Japan's political circle for a hundred years, Yukio Hatoyama, will be sent to the prime minister's seat.
