Although it didn’t last so long, I really liked the former Japanese prime minister Aso. His expressions were so easy to read, and made the cold, opaque bureaucracy seem to fun and straightforward in a strangely heartwarming way.
Let’s start on election day.
Look at his simplistic way of celebrating! It looks more like some local guy happy over his baseball team winning, not like the leader of the world’s second largest economy(at the time of this writing). The only smile in this moment of photograph belongs to the prime minister himself. Notice the rest of the people are all serious, especially the shitlessly worried guy next to him.
This face.
TO BE CONTINUED…
