True reason for resignation of Japanese Prime Minister unveiled

Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has announced his resignation yesterday, after just eight months in office. The official reason is that Hatoyama decided to resign after failing to meet an election promise to move an unpopular US military base away from the island of Okinawa.

But the real reason behind this sudden resignation could be quite different, according to sources close to the former PM. BJ reporters were told Mr Hatoyama, like many Japanese, is a great lover of karaoke and an aficionado of jazz music. After a night especially well catered for by the company Sake & Co., it seems Mr Hatoyama boldly leaped on top of a table wearing very little aside from his tie and claiming he would resign as a PM if he could not swell up his cheeks like Dizzy Gillespie at a press conference the next morning. Needless  to say from the images below and the recent announcements in the press: in the game of truth or dare, he should have gone for truth.

Close, but no cigar
