Ex-PM Koizumi lookalike comedian films DVD

Thursday 18th September, 10:35 AM JST

TOKYO —

Akira Matsushita, a lookalike for former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and a member of the satirical comedian group, The Newspaper, on Wednesday shot a new DVD in a shopping center in Arakawa Ward.

Matsushita joked: “Well, the leadership election is very exciting among LDP politicians. But it’s not that interesting among the public, though. I can understand why Aso doesn’t want to apologize for his gaffes. He’s such an honest guy that he can’t help saying what he thinks really.”

The group will release the DVD on Dec 10 to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut.

That Japanese Bruce Willis look-a-like should do a DVD.

I never thought this guy looked much like Koizumi...

The guy just has a cheesy hairdo and suit. Don't look much like him.

gogogo the Japanese Bruce Willis and other lookalikes DID star in a movie. It was a parody of "Japan Sinks" called "Everywhere but Japan Sinks". I'm sure it sucks, but I am still interested in watching it once when I am really drunk, so it will have more impact.

Well, he looks more like Koizumi than Richard Gere. I don't know where that came from.

I think it looks like him. With those brown paints and black shirt. And dont forget that purse he is holding.

Anyone see the Japanese Bruce Willis and actually think he looked any bit like Bruce Willis? (Aside from the clothes and make-up) Maybe a ferret.

Except for the hair, he doesn't look all that much like Jun chan.

The Japanese Bruce Willis, with his bald head and the blood on his T-shirt, looks a lot more like Bruce Willis than this guy looks like Jun chan.

His hair rook rike Koizumi. I've never seen this guy perform but if he's not funny as Ken Shimura I wouldn't want to.

I can pretty well guess what American-rook-arikes rook rike. I was called Kirk Douglas, Dirty Harry, Gary Cooper and Bogart while living there. Three Jr. High boys once called to me, "Meestah Reagan!" Meestah Reagan!" I wanted to kick their butts. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.
