Miyuki Hatoyama claims her soul traveled to Venus on UFO

Ok, the PM's wife is a hippie...time to check her hair for evidence of any Nori-P.

I think a little kookiness will be good for Japan!

Let's hope insanity isn't catching!

I think a little kookiness will be good for Japan!

A little, sure I can agree with that. This bat is off her rocker. Hope we do not see a trend of this and some small cult that gets based off of her.

I'n starting to like this woman.

Anyway, she looks good in jeans!

"She is also in charge of making her husband look presentable"

Doesn't she know any good barbers?

This has got to be the best article JT has ever posted! The next first lady of the number 2 economy on the planet is freekin’ nuts! I am literally wiping the tears from my eyes, “Most Bizarre Things I’ve Encountered”. Me too angel. Me too!

I like Mr Hatoyama, but I am disappointed to learn that his wife is dillusional and needs psychiatric treatment.

"Miyuki Hatoyama's Spiritual Food"

I'll bet there's some good recipes in there.

Trips to Venus? Maybe that's where she found the "alien"?

At least she has a sense of humour which will probably come in handy during the days ahead. Good for her!

Riiiigggghhhhhttttt! Becoming a little freaky wouldn't you say???? I suppose your head spins around just like Linda Blair!!!!!!

iraira is right, check her hair!!!

At least there will be a little color in the seat of power sphere this time around.

Spiritualism is fine in moderation and with reason. But seems the world is just as full of people ready to believe anything as it was thousands of years ago. Perhaps it is the nature of humanity to need such stories and dreams to find reality in existence.

Maybe I should start that new church afterall...

She also claims that her soul has traveled to Venus on a UFO.

Yeah? I'll have whatever she's smoking.

I also eat the sun

Is that what the drug is called?

“My husband has recently started doing that too,”

Yup, Japan's screwed.

I think a little kookiness will be good for Japan!

You must not live here. The whole country is already kooky.

This is the same as Nancy Reagan and her astrologists.... it will all blow over.

The wife of a PM is not a first lady. Mrs. Brown is not Britain's first lady; that's a silly thing to say.

Eh? According to Oxford English Dictionary a "first lady" is "the wife of the President of the US or other head of state". The BBC has no problem describing Mrs Brown as Britain's first lady.

So the husband is an alien and the wife is "different". It seems that we are going to be in for one hell of a ride.

Perhaps the new Prime Minister might consider having his wife become the Foreign Minister. Can you imagine the confusion that trips to Venus would cause overseas?

I hope she's not expecting a warm reception from Michelle..

Spirituality is the domain of stupid people.

They only come out at night...

Just from the photo I can tell that Mrs Hatoyama has a very interesting and particular aura.

Well this explains the jeans she wore when casting her vote but clearly this woman should be censored. Traveled to Venus....? its Green? eats the sun....? hum....hum...hum...? Mr. Hatoyama also eats the sun...? They must be part of one of Japans weird religious cults although it seems a harmless one so far.

Based on my experiences in this country, and with no desire to appear derogatory or sarcastic, I'd describe Mrs. Hatoyama's hallucinations and fantasies as completely normal behavior for a Japanese woman.

Beelzebub - Good one.

She is also in charge of making her husband look presentable

epic fail unless it involves her personally dragging him backwards through a hedge every morning

Doesn't she know any good barbers?

At least he has some nice hair that most Western men after a certain age lose.

"I have a dream that I still believe will come true"

Me too, Mrs. Hatoyama! We are both fortunate in that respect. Too many people have no hopes or dreams for the future.

"I have a dream that I still believe will come true"

Me too, Mrs. Hatoyama! We are both fortunate in that respect.

You are soulmates and met in your previous life.

If ever Mrs Hatoyama meets Mrs Obama I wonder what they'll talk about?

Mrs. O.: How did Obama City get its name, Miyuki?

Mrs. H.: He lived there in a previous lifetime. By the way, you have a very nice aura.

I saw Tom Cruise 3 previous lifes ago. He was Fijian at that time. Probably just working his way around the Pacific Rim. Currently I'm Australian which is a change from being an Inuit last time. Those winters are harsh.

-Flying to venus, eating the sun. Damb! Bartender, I'll have what she's having!

Look at it this way, a prime minister whose wife believes she traveled to Venus beats having the LDP in power.

ummm, a few baskets short of a picnic?

"It was an extremely beautiful place and was very green," she said.

I doubt it would be green on Venus. More like a blast furnace.

Wonder if Cruise was a complete jerk in his previous life as well.

Wow what a crack, now has media attention so says anything to keep it.

Is she sure it didn't travel to Uranus?

She's definitely a pickled plum short of a bento.

The lead actor is Tom Cruise, of course. Why? Because I know he was Japanese in a previous life.

Given that he was why would he recognise her? She was obviously a fruit cake in her previous life!

I thought people got locked up for going off the farm like this. If she threw in a moose story she would be as loopy as Palin.

I'm disappointed that there is not a bigfoot or chupacabra element to her story. Afterall, aren't all triangle shaped alien spacecraft driven by random X-files characters?

Can't help but wonder how much of this stuff the hubby has subscribed to.

If I was Hatoyama, I'd be making damn sure she didn't go anywhere near a camera or reporter for the next several years. It's going to be a matter of days before this is the laughing stock of the western world.

ommm....ommmm...ommmmm...i dream this world is a much better place..but it's not..

Didn't she mention previously that she had something in common with Michelle Obama? "Sensibility" was the word I think. Some nerve :)

Tell the Hatoyama family to stop eating the sun. Other people need it to see! Keep her in the news! This is waaaay funnier than anything Aso has said!

I like this woman. She is going to go far in life. Perhaps she will do to Obama what George Bush did to ...what's his name? You know, heave dinner.

@Yelnatss: Yeah, nothing like having pieces of Sun in your lap. I can just see the state dinner menus in Japan now. The salad is green stuff from venus and the main course is a bit of ol' Sol. Yummy!

She's just joking around and the article is written as a humor piece.

Once Hatoyama is in as Prime Minister, there will be no more interviews with Miyuki-san.

is there a japanese word for 'dingbat' ?

"Dinngo-Batto"

She is clearly following in the footsteps of Nancy Reagan and Cherie Blair by joining the nutty wives club.

She makes the Komeito crazies look pretty mainstream.

poor people are insane, rich people are eccentric

”You must not live here. The whole country is already kooky”

I have lived here for over 25 Years! She is the fun kind of kookie, you can tell she has spent time overseas, she has learned how to loosen up, maybe a little too much, but I still say it is a good thing!

Miyuki Hatoyama claims her soul traveled to Venus on UFO

I think the J-Cop should test her whether she took any illegal drug to find out the source of her hallucination.

I like her also because she looks so 'real' Japanese, .. black hair 'n stuff. Kinda rare these days.

It's going to be interesting to see how she handles the publicity and if she has her husband's ear. But it might be useful. Maybe she can get her alien friends to zap Kim Jong Il? Of course they refer to her husband as "the alien." Maybe they are right and this is the first interspecies marriage on record?

We're going to have fun with this, aren't we?

So when is she going to say. "Beam me up, Scotty!"?

ahaha

When the media have nothing worthwhile to report they focus on what is not worthwhile.

She is also in charge of making her husband look presentable and healthy.

This is easy. She just hides the shrimp crackers.

Hey, how many Japanese husbands offer to wash the dishes?

There was a rumor that Yukio Hatoyama is a Freemason and she claiming that traveled to Venus in a triangular shaped UFO, I think that tells something. Also Hatoyama's nicknames isn't "alien"?

So... Japan's future looks nice and secure then. LoL

..and once aboard this triangle ship, they blasted their way through many asteroids.

Oh, wait.. that's a game.

I like the Sun eating line. I wonder if it's spicy?

There is the ontological problem that a soul, being non-physical, does not need - actually, could not use - a physical vehicle (space ship) to travel. Or perhaps her soul was travelling in a space ship soul.

Or perhaps too much Suntory Red was drunk one night long ago.

Maybe she has been eating too much wasabi in her onigiri.

She comes come great wealth on her family's side. And she is 4-5 years older than her husband. Two strikes already.

It wasn't Venus she traveled to, it was Planet X. That's where she picked up that Miss Namikawa hairdo. And it was actually Russ Tamblyn she met in a previous incarnation, not TC. She must be having some Matango for breakfast every morning along with her sunshine. And if I'm not mistaken, the Mu's were completely destroyed by Atragon in 1963. I didn't know they were still in business.

Or perhaps there really is more to it that many people just close their minds off from thinking that they already know the answers, and know everything that is out there.

Is an interesting read for anyone for whom the topic interests

"Eh? According to Oxford English Dictionary a "first lady" is "the wife of the President of the US or other head of state". The BBC has no problem describing Mrs Brown as Britain's first lady."

The prime　minister is not the head of state. That's the Queen in the UK and the Emperor in Japan.

Is this whacko chick the same one that bought up all the land from Nissan in nishi-tokyo, (the former test track) to create her very own compound for her cult?

Tell the Hatoyama family to stop eating the sun.

That's their plan to combat global warming, don't knock it!

Tried to eat the sun this morning, but my arms are too short- will use a ladder tomorrow.

UFOs? She sounds more like the wife of some hack from the future footnote party, i.e. Komeito.
