Musician Daigo an Y85 million man for a day

TOKYO —

Rock singer Daigo (the grandson of former Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita) appeared at a recent promotional event for jewelry brand Chopard in Tokyo, wearing sparklers worth 85 million yen. “I wonder if 85 million yen includes my value,” joked the 30-year-old vocalist for Breakerz.

Asked about several media reports that public broadcaster NHK refuses to have him appear on its programs because of his political family, Daigo answered: “Is that true? I really want to appear in NHK’s Red & White Song Contest at the end of the year.”

His agent denied the media reports and said he will appear on an NHK music program next week.

    I believe the J-Lady boys are what they themselves call in TV: Ikemen For me, it is pretty much what you just described: guys trying to look more feminine than what we, (at least me), would like to look like as a man. It is probably a plague taking over Japan. I believe they are really into the gay stuff. As a matter of fact, I noticed recently that most channels use the rainbow colors, or the rainbow itself as a prime decoration, if you know what that means. In fact, tonight at about 11:00 PM they have in channel 9 a show about the prettiest New Half-turned Japanese, (or who knows what other nationalities). I also hear stories that Japanese girls in their quest for "Kawaii" things, even want their boyfriends to be "Kawaii" also, to the point they become more of lady boys.

    Has anyone seen this guy on TV? His grandfather might have been the Prime Minister but goddamn the IQ went pfft in a couple of generations. Dumber than a brick wall.
