rns out, courtesy of our pal Rakugoka over on Okashi Na Banashi, thatthere is an actual term for Silver Fox in Japan – Kitsune! (See, this blog can be educational as well as vaguely disrespectful!) Today’s Kitsune-san is former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, notable for the first overseas deployment of the Japanese military since World War II.
We may objectify Koizumi-san because he looks as though he belongs on the cover of a samurai romance novel, but we love him because of his
Elvis fetishism, which led to Graceland hosting a freaking state visit; his fandom of Japanese death metal (we’re not even kidding); and the fact that he didn’t remarry after divorce because he found marriage too energy-consuming. Now that’s the kind of guy we could grow old with. Well, older on his part, anyway. But seriously, we’d serve him on a bed of soba noodles any time. Or rummage under his kimono…. or something equally stereotypical and offensive.
