News: The prime-minister of Japan goes to an EXILE concert

Yesterday, the popular 14-member Japanese R&B boy band, EXILE, had a concert at the Tokyo Dome as part of their "2013 EXILE PRIDE" tour.
In the 47,000 strong crowd waving EXILE flags was one prime minister of Japan, Abe Shozo.

"If only I was this popular..."

Before the concert, he even made a visit to their dressing-room. And taking a happysnap.

"I should have worn red.."

On his official facebook page, he mentioned his visit to the concert with the following comment:

今日、東京ドームで行われたEXILEのコンサートへ行ってきました。
彼らの歌う「Rising Sun」の歌詞。
「So, Rising Sun 陽はまたのぼってゆく
So, Rising Sun 夜明けはそばに来てる」
まさに、今から復活を遂げてゆく日本を象徴するような、元気になる曲でした。

Today, I went to the EXILE concert at the Tokyo Dome.

The Lyrics of their song "Rising Sun",

"So Rising Sun, the sun rises again, so rising sun, the dawn is coming soon."

The cheerful song is very much symbolic of the ongoing revival of Japan.

"I have no idea what I am doing..."

Publicity stunt or a mere fanboy? So long as the melodic R&B rhythm with athletic hip-hop dancing had somehow convinced him to do something about my superannuation...
