Kawaii Politics

First of all, sorry for not writing for so long, a few people bugged me about this, and I realized that I should have at least posted something short like “today I bought a pet plant” (which I did actually, help me name it).

Anyway. Kawaii seems to be taking over. I’ve been to Israel last month and they have an Anime channel in there, and of course Pokémon (but that’s pretty standard). My idea was to replace different authority figures with nice smiley Kawaii figures. Koizumi is a good start, of course. Taking a look at his website, there’s a link on the right to an “E-mail magazine”. What’s going on here? Is Koizumi trying to make himself something like a pop figure? Hello Kitty style. Hello Koizumi. And there we have it. Kawaii politics.

I would personally feel much more guilty, from a dictator point of view, to bomb something if their leaders are so kawaii.

  1. It might be just a poor translation.
