This is so awesome.

After years of LDP we finally have a Japan that might be politically in tune with it's social elements.

Actually, the yearly announcement of the year's best jeanist is a highlight of reading this website.

I've been pondering since last year.... is this an acheivement in jeanism, or in jeanistry?

it doesn't take a jeaneist to figure that out.

Maybe she is a just a good jeaneticist who majored in jeaneology and thus, she has good jeans!

I think she is just jenial all round and to still have a bell bottom at 66 instead of an eyesore narrowing taper is a miracle.

To anyone who doesn't think it is important:

“I have long wished to win the prize, as I’m a big fan of jeans,” Hatoyama said.

People who don't like this award are just not fans of jeans.

Didn't Kusanagi win this award a few years back?

A childhood dream come true! Congrats! I'm also happy that we can now add -ist to clothing items: sockist, t-shirtist... Next they'll have colonies for these people right down the beach from the nudists!
