he looks exactly like...remember the movie "gung ho" (michael keaton) when one of the japanese bosses was explaining to the ceo of the japanese car company what "loony tunes" meant? THAT GUY! LOL
LOLOL I love how they treat people who smoke marijuanna like criminals in the same severity that heroin and cocaine users are treated yet alcohol is widely accepted across japan
@RetardedSpiceBar I so agree with you man, Japanese people are fucked up on many levels... There is a lot of confusion on what the effects of the drug actually are and no one can fucking tell the difference between a soft drug and a hard drug and what's addictive and what is not...
He had always been known as a heavy drinker and took medication, often way over the prescribed doses--a combination which inevitably causes the body to break down at some point.
In any case, where were his spouse, his private secretary and senior aides in his ministry to stop him from making a fool of himself and embarrassing the country.
yes, blame United States for everything. Yet under the same breath don't give any credit for anything good that's come out of this country. You go ahead and continue being jealous of everything we do.
Firstly, he's an entry level alcapholic. He should haven't touched wines and 4,5 glasses of gin tonic(he barely remembers he'd had at least that much the night before though supposedly he wasn't too well.) They spent nearly 1mil USD to send 20 politicians and whoever others and showed the rest of the world they have no one else to showcase but this drunken embarassment... I'm Japanese and am so ashamed of being one...
He wasn't poisoned and I am not inclined to believe that it was cold medicine. I've lived in Japan now for 7 years. The "ruling class" is still running things much the same way they did 100 years ago, though it looks as though they don't. Alcoholic excess is not frowned upon over here, and certainly not questioned when one of the members of said class wants to get wasted before a press conference.
They don't question authority over here and this is one of the results of that.
Mr. Nakagawa was known as Prime Minister Aso's sworn friend as well as state minister for administrative reform Akira Amari et al., and appointment to make the Finance Minister serve concurrently to financial charge was thought to be typical "Friend human affairs".
It depends too much about the relative consideration and the tension might be lacked in the background of a series of speech and behavior.
I have strong suspicion that Nakagawa san might be sick or unwell, its extremely stupid for a minister of any country to appear on international platform and be percieved as a drunk !
Nakagawa san was not a rookie , he was with previous administration before
I have a very strong hunch that he was very very unwell on that day and out of duty he need to attend the press conference
I might be wrong and If I am , shall we drink to that ?

The head of 【姜瑜】sub-press bureau of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs :
in the scheduled briefing on the 17th about the resignation declaration of Mr. Nakagawa.
It was commented, "Did not comment to internal affairs of Japan it, and belonging to domestic affairs of the foreign country".
China is the calmest correspondence.
