いろいろ材料を探すものです

今週は民主党大勝、政権交代で持ちきりでした。

昨日、副島隆彦先生を囲んで、中田安彦氏を中心にして、選挙とこれからの行方についての座談会
が行われました。多くの弟子もそこに臨席していました。

まだまだ勉強不足で、うまく話せなかったことを反省したいと思います。文字起こしされた文は、ウェブサイト
「副島隆彦の学問道場」(http://soejima.to)の「今日のぼやき」に掲載される予定です。

以下の2つのブログ記事の中では、鳩山由紀夫代表の夫人、幸さんについて書かれています。面白エピソードが紹介されて、日本のファーストレディーに注目が集まっている、と解釈するのは浅薄です。

「こんなおかしなことばかり言っている(ちょっとおかしい)妻の言うことばかり聞いている(妻の尻に敷かれている)鳩山代表は大丈夫か」ということなのです。

アメリカの一部の人々はいろいろなことでなんとか言いがかりをつけようとしているようです。

Japan’s New First Lady Not From Venus, Was Only Visiting
By Robert Mackey

Itsuo Inouye/Associated Press

Japan’s next first couple, Miyuki Hatoyama and her husband Yukio Hatoyama, last week in Tokyo.Here’s something you need to know about Japan’s next first lady, Miyuki Hatoyama: she used to be an actress. That may help to explain why Japanese voters were apparently not worried about handing her husband, Yukio Hatoyama, a landslide victory and the keys to the prime minister’s office despite the fact that he is married to a woman who wrote last year that she traveled to Venus in a U.F.O. in the 1970s.

On Wednesday, The Times of London’s Richard Lloyd Parry reported from Tokyo that Ms. Hatoyama, “a musical actress, cookery writer, clothesmaker and television personality,” is given a sort of free pass by Japanese voters because she “falls into the category of public figure known as ‘tarento,’ or ‘talent,’” who are expected to be kooky.

She has apparently been making good use of that pass. As Mr. Parry reports, Ms. Hatoyama wrote in “Very Strange Things I’ve Encountered,” a book published last year, that before she divorced her first husband and married Mr. Hatoyama, she may have visited our neighboring planet:

“While my body was sleeping, I think my spirit flew on a triangular-shaped U.F.O. to Venus,” she said. “It was an extremely beautiful place and was very green.” Her first husband suggested that it was probably just a dream — but Mr. Hatoyama, she insisted, would not be so dismissive. “My current husband has a different way of thinking,” she said. “He would surely say, ‘Oh, that’s great!’”

As Reuters reported, Ms. Hatoyama also amazed a daytime television audience this year with the information that she personally knew Tom Cruise during a past life, when he was Japanese, and still hopes to one day make a film with him. The film, she assured viewers, will win her an Academy Award “for sure,” and “will change your values.” Ms. Hatoyama added that, in his spare time, her husband is helping to make her vision a reality by “translating the script into English even though he is tired after work.”

An undated photo of Yukio and Miyuki Hatoyama in younger, more carefree days.Apparently Mr. Hatoyama is paying his wife back for her help with crafting his image. The Telegraph’s Julian Ryall noted last month that Ms. Hatoyama, who is 66, now “describes herself as a ‘life composer’ who selects people’s clothes and food — including those of her husband — and designs home interiors.” Mr. Ryall also reported that in a more recent television interview, she “appeared wearing a skirt she had made from hemp coffee sacks purchased in Hawaii.”

The Guardian’s Justin McCurry adds that the couple, who met when both lived in California in the 1970s, seem quite happily married. Mr. Hatoyama says that seeing his wife gives him a boost: “I feel relieved when I get home. She is like an energy-refuelling base.”

Japan's new first lady was abducted by aliens, knew Tom Cruise in former life
Thu, 09/03/2009 - 11:02am


Profiles of Japan's incoming Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama tend to use a lot of adjectives like "remote and charisma-challenged" and "blue-blood." Frankly, despite his reformist zeal, the guy seems pretty dull. His wife Miyuki, on the other hand, seems a lot more interesting:
Miyuki Hatoyama, wife of Japan's Prime Minister-elect, Yukio Hatoyama, is a lifestyle guru, a macrobiotics enthusiast, an author of cookery books, a retired actress, a divorcee, and a fearless clothes horse for garments of her own creation, including a skirt made from Hawaiian coffee sacks. But there is more, much more. She has travelled to the planet Venus. And she was once abducted by aliens.

The 62-year-old also knew Tom Cruise in a former incarnation – when he was Japanese – and is now looking forward to making a Hollywood movie with him. "I believe he'd get it if I said to him, 'Long time no see', when we meet," she said in a recent interview. But it is her claim in a book entitled "Very Strange Things I've Encountered" that she was abducted by aliens while she slept one night 20 years ago, that has suddenly drawn attention following last Sunday's poll.

"While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus," she explains in the tome she published last year. "It was a very beautiful place, and it was very green."

While her husband at the time dismissed her experience as a dream, she says that Yukio "has a different way of thinking." Maybe there's more to this PM than we thought...
