Yoshimi Watanabe’s LOL videos

Politician Yoshimi Watanabe (formerly of the LDP) has been uploading a lot of news clips to his YouTube channel recently, the most popular being footage making fun of ex-Finance Minister Nakagawa’s drunk press conference. Looking at the tags he (or one of his staff) had entered for one of the videos, I noticed there were some English keywords:

Should more politicians use the term "lol"?

“Should more politicians use the term “lol”?”

Only if, like Nakagawa, they are using “lol” to mean “Lush On Live”.

Ken and I have been wondering about “Watanabe’s” YouTube channel. You think it’s really him? If it is, I like the guy even more. If not, it’s still quite handy.

His video clips are given titles and descriptions that attract lots of views, and they regularly make it to the top of the YouTube Japan “most viewed” ranking. Other clips tend to get flagged and removed, yet Watanabe’s miraculously survive, some for weeks now. This makes me think that it could actually be him, although it could just be a very lucky fan of his.
