The Intuitive Prime Minister Lesson 01

[lang_en]

ASO_lessonENAlthough it didn't last so long, I really liked the former Japanese prime minister Aso.  His expressions were so easy to read, and made the cold, opaque bureaucracy seem to fun and straightforward in a strangely heartwarming way.

俺は前の総理の麻生太郎が結構好きだった。まず、太郎って名前に親近感が湧くのは個人的な事だが、この人の表情は非常に解りやすく人間味がすごい強かった。このおかげで、冷たく不透明な官僚が身直に、楽しく感じる不思議な時代だったと思う。

Look at his simplistic way of celebrating! It looks more like some local guy happy over his baseball team winning, not like the leader of the world's second largest economy(at the time of this writing). The only smile in this moment of photograph belongs to the prime minister himself. Notice the rest of the people are all serious, especially the shitlessly worried guy next to him.

この無邪気な喜びよう!一国の最高責任者というよりも、阪神タイガーズが勝ったのに喜んでるおっちゃんみたいな雰囲気。ものすごいはしゃいでる麻生さん以外は、みんなけっこう冷静に、違う方向を見ている。しかも、隣の側近の人が、とんでもない苦い表情をしているのが見える。
