Abe, will you go to Yasukuni?

I want to ask the new Japanese Prime Minister this question, however, instead of me, a Japanese elementary student took the moment.

During a visit to a Tokyo school today(12/7), a kid asked Shinzo Abe, "I want to ask you about Yasukuni Shrine", and Abe, obviously embarrassed by the question, (Did someone plant the question beforehand?), He first reacted by pointing out it is a very difficult question, when further pressed, he lowered his voice, "I haven't decided yet","Yasukuni question can't be explained to you in a short time period".

Shinze Abe is playing avoiding strategy over Yasukuni issue, however, he can avoid repeated questioning from his won party, opponent parties and media, he can't avoid questions from an elementary student.
