Japan's new first lady says rode UFO to Venus
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's next prime minister might be nicknamed "the alien," but it's his wife who claims to have had a close encounter with another world.
"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.
"It was a very beautiful place and it was really green."
Yukio Hatoyama is due to be voted in as premier on September 16 following his party's crushing election victory over the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Sunday.
Miyuki, 66, described the extraterrestrial experience, which she said took place some 20 years ago, in a book entitled "Very Strange Things I've Encountered."
When she awoke, Japan's next first lady wrote, she told her now ex-husband that she had just been to Venus. He advised her that it was probably just a dream.
"My current husband has a different way of thinking," she wrote. "He would surely say 'Oh, that's great'."
Yukio Hatoyama, 62, the rich grandson of a former prime minister, was once nicknamed "the alien" for his prominent eyes.
Miyuki, also known for her culinary skills, spent six years acting in the Takarazuka Revue, an all-female musical theater group. She met the U.S.-educated Yukio while living in America.

LMAO.
She sounds like she'd be a very interesting person to sit next to at a dinner party.

Yeah, as a non-eligible-but-tax-paying resident of Japan, I was really happy the incumbents took a drubbing, but I had no idea Hatoyama's wife was a psycho.
Shit! More idiots in charge (or close to power)...
But a lot of people here (most) believe blood type determines personality, so whatever. Too bad no one can prove that and get a Nobel Prize, eh?
Anyway, Nancy Reagen did the seances so I guess Mme. Hatoyama isn't the only supernatural superserious first lady around.

I suspect Mrs. Hatoyama is considered fairly normal in Japan. I doubt Japanese would get their panties in a wad over a slightly kooky First Lady. Do people there talk about her much at all?
