Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi strikes a dynamic pose with a very proud local official.
Here he is woven in beads.
Koizumi as a Tanabata festival float.

最近はびみょ～な小泉映像に飢えています。

We’ve spent a lot of time looking at Koizumi’s sheer presence on camera. He’ll be remembered in the US for his horrible karaoke at Graceland, but in Japan he is likely to go down as Japan’s biggest reformer since MacArthur. [...]
