entered his name in the register book

講演会場に到着。本番は10:30から。意外と知られていない「弟さん」という手法での参拝でした。
Koyamamotoくんのfollow-upです(さすがKoyamamotoくん、首相の名字も見事間違えてくれて期待通り)。「記帳する」はregisterが一般的ですが、このようにenter (up) one's name in the register bookというパタンもあります。(UG)

PM Abe's younger brother visits Yasukuni Shrine

Senior Vice Foreign Minister Nobuo Kishi, the younger brother of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, visited the war-linked Yasukuni Shrine on Saturday during its annual autumn festival.

After paying homage at the shrine during the four-day festival through Sunday, Kishi told reporters he entered his name in the register book with a title as House of Representatives member.

He said his visit would not have an impact on Japan's relations with other countries and that he had not conferred with the prime minister about the visit.
