… the parade was supposed to showcase the transformation of the PLA from a low-tech, manpower-intensive force to a high-tech, 21st-century one. And nothing says futuristic! like white go-go boots…more…

Speaking of politics and aliens, Japan’s most esteemed alien, Rob Pongi, has send me the following cautionary tale from Nippon: “My Girlfriend is The President”….

Last week I reported on the soon-to-be First Lady of Japan pandering to the alien vote…the Venusians. The wife of premier-in-waiting Yukio Hatoyama published a book last year in which she said that, “….While my body was asleep, my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus.”
Here is rest-of-the-story…

Japan’s new ‘Silver Week’ is another just another corporate excuse for a layoff and unpaid week since more than 40% of Japan’s workers are on part-time and subcontracts (and therefore all holidays are unpaid), meh.

First ‘Silver Week’ fall holidays a bonanza for hard-pressed tourism industry
Mainichi — September 12, 2009
Due to revisions to the Public Holiday Law, Japanese residents will for the first time enjoy a 5-day holiday break beginning Sep. 19 and dubbed “Sliver Week.”
The 2003 holiday revisions shifted Respect for the Aged Day from Sep. 15 to the third Monday of September, creating this year’s 5-day stretch, called “Silver Week” as a fall counterpart to the “Golden Week” holiday in May….more...

Change.

First, it was the revelation that Miyuki Hatoyama, the wife of the Japan’s new premier-in-waiting Yukio Hatoyama, claims to have visited Venus. (3Yen.com/2009-09-03).

Now, the soon-to-be Japanese foreign minister, Katsuya Okada (with amazingly bloodshot, dope-smoking, eyes ) has revealed his special affinity for frogs.

Okada to become Japan’s new foreign minister.
Sept 4. 2009 (AFP)…One of his more peculiar hobbies is collecting items that depict frogs. But there is a serious political point — “frog” in Japanese is a homonym for “change” — the slogan used by the DPJ during last month’s election campaign.

“….While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus,” Miyuki Hatoyama, the wife of premier-in-waiting Yukio Hatoyama, wrote in a book published last year…”

Rob Pongi, friend of the 3Yen and intrepid explorer of Uranus*, sent in these additional sources of information about the Japanese-Venusian Co-Prosperity Sphere.

The political word-of-the-day is ‘Kintaro-Ame’ , a candy-cane Japanese confection than no matter how it is cut always looks the same.

Kintaro-Ame is an apt metaphor for yesterday’s landslide win of Japan’s doubtfully-Democratic Party of Japan over the not-soLiberal not-soDemocratic not-so-funParty’s de-facto dictatorship of the past 65 years.

Yukio Hatoyama wooed the Japanese electorate with an agenda for change, but the 62 year-old nicknamed the Alien is an unlikely revolutionary

I’m off to hunt down and take some video of the “Smile Dance” campaigning of Mac Akasaka in Shibuya. He is running under the one-man “Smile Party” ticket for a seat in the Upper House of Japan, and this ought to be a show.*

In the meantime, check out today’s Reuters/Yahoo video of the ‘Smile Dance’ campaign.

Mac says cheese for Japan elections
Reuters – video script 2009/aug/27…. Election candidate, Mac Akasaka…”If I was just making speeches nobody would listen. But by doing my ‘Smile Dance’ people actually stop to listen and look up at me and so it works.”
Akasaka has also grabbed voters’ attention with his quirky “smile therapy” exercises.

A little bit of trouble with messy wiring hasn’t kept the Japanese navy from breaking its schedule for launching their newest super destroyer today.

daylife.com — YOKOHAMA, JAPAN – AUGUST 21: Japan Martime Self-Defense Force's destroyer Ise is launched at IHI Marine United Yokohama factory on August 21, 2009 in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan. Ise is a 13950 ton destroyer and becomes Japan's largest…

Ok, ok, so I lied about the wiring.

Those are festive paper streamers, and the Japanese really get carried away using streamers for festive occasions like ship launches and pro-wrestling.

The new destroyer Ise is designed to handle 11 helicopters hence its “flattop” look. These ships can be considered helicopter/commando carriers and they serve the purpose of staging amphibious assaults. Needless to say, all of Japan’s Asian neighbors, especially China, are uneasy about why Japan is building new amphibious assault ships in violation of Japan’s only “self-defense” constitution.
