ウォールストリートジャーナルで存在感のある麻生さん

The 72-year-old Mr. Aso, who is also a former Japanese prime minister, is known to be a natty dresser.  Local media once reported that he even stitched lead weights in the hem of his trousers, so his pants can rest just so.

In the month and a half since Shinzo Abe became prime minister, Mr. Aso has already emerged as one of the cabinet’s more colorful figures. His stylish wardrobe is matched by a quick wit and an outspoken manner that periodically veers into gaffes.

Mr. Aso’s OG (original gangster) outfit Friday started trending on Twitter with “Mafia” and “Aso-san” popping up on the top trends list in Japan. He even got a thumbs-up from a Vogue Japan editor Mayumi Nakamura who called his travel gear “super cool.”

ウォールストリートジャーナルで、こんなに褒められる日本の政治家は、日本の宝です。

 

でも、マスゴミは、麻生さんが漢字を間違えてくれる事の方が嬉しそうだね。
