Aso gives speech in Akihabara

JAPAN-POLITICS-CULTURE

“I can cheer up when I come to Akihabara,” Aso said as supporters, mostly in their 20s and 30s, yelled in chorus: “Aso, Aso, Aso.”

“I can cheer up when I come to Akihabara,” commented Taro Aso, followed with, “We share the same dream of one nation, under anime, with liberty and justice for otaku.” Taro Aso promises change we can cos-play in.

IMO any nation whose leader displays a huge hideous characture of themselves during an important political speech is doomed.

The world is falling apart and it needs leaders to fix it, not children. Thought I think a child could do a better job than Taro Aso.

Do you actually know what you are talking about, or are you just making stuff up?

You sure they were not shouting “Asshole, Asshole, Asshole”? Sounds the same.

This scours says, people cheered him by chanting “Taro”, rather than “Aso”.

Why should he go to Akihabara for a speech?Aren’t there much more important things to do than talking to otaku-friends?
