TOKYO —

Model Shiho, 32, was on Monday named “aroma goodwill ambassador” to mark “Aroma Day” on Nov 3. Former defense and environment minister Yuriko Koike also appeared at the event.

Shiho presented a special aroma spray to Koike who said she is a frequent aroma user. Asked if she has someone in her life who can heal her like aroma, Shiho—who has been dating wrestler Yoshihiro Akiyama—said, “Yes, there is a special person. Things are going well with us.”

If she smells like beer and yakiniku then she should be Aroma Queen. Mr. Akiyama you are a lucky man, dude.

Please don't tell me a reporter asked that question in the same way it was printed here...

Are you sure it's not the "Best Aromaist" award? I'll bet Koike's favorite scent is Pepper Spray.

Not bad for 32 years old.

I'm going to say yes.

Look at Yuriko standing next to a flower some 25 years her junior. Doesn't she just love it.

Is this a big step down from being a potential Prime MInister of Japan, or a promotion?

I too, am a frequent aroma user, particularly after a few days in the same socks. Or it that aroma abuser?

Defense aroma: the smell of victory - napalm in the morning. Environment aroma: the smell of nature - manure in the morning.
