Here’s a cute little ramble about Junichiro Koizumi’s hair.
Koizumi always goes to a barbershop in the basement of a downtown Tokyo hotel, where he sometimes stays for more than two hours.
One time, he went in at 11 p.m. and did not come out until 1:30 a.m.
This became fodder for the rumor mill in the political community. The barbershop, the rumor went, must have a hidden passageway and Koizumi must be sneaking out to meet with someone in secret.
And that is also the reason why his hairdo is invariably the same before and after his barbershop visit.
