Japan's Next 1st Lady an Alien Abductee?

(CBS/AP)  Japan's next prime minister is known for being bland in his speeches. His wife, however, is anything but.

Miyuki Hatoyama, a former actress and wife of Yukio Hatoyama - who will likely be sworn in as Japan's prime minister on Sept. 16 - promises to become one of Japan's most colorful first ladies ever.

A strong believer in spiritualism, Hatoyama said in a TV appearance earlier this year she met U.S. actor Tom Cruise - in a previous life. She also claims that her soul has traveled to Venus on a UFO.

"I have a dream that I still believe will come true, which is to make a film in Hollywood," she told a TV talk show in May. "The lead actor is Tom Cruise, of course. Why? Because I know he was Japanese in a previous life.

"I was with him then. So he would recognize me when I see him and say 'long time, no see!"' she said, though cautioned the program's young interviewer not to take her seriously.

Cruise starred in the 2003 film "The Last Samurai," which was set in Japan.

"I also eat the sun," Hatoyama said on the program, looking up with her eyes closed, raising her arms high as if she was tearing pieces off an imaginary sun. "Like this, hum, hum, hum. It gives me enormous energy."

"My husband has recently started doing that too," said the 66-year-old Hatoyama, who was born to Japanese parents in Shanghai and met her husband in the United States where he was a Ph.D student at Stanford.

The Democratic Party of Japan, which her husband heads, scored a sweeping victory in Sunday's elections for the 480-seat lower house of parliament, winning 308 seats and ending the ruling party's virtually uninterrupted more than half-century domination of government.

His party's majority means he is a shoo-in to be the next prime minister.

Miyuki Hatoyama, a former actress, dancer and singer in the hugely popular Takarazuka Revue all-female theater group, wrote in a book published last year about her surrealistic space trip about 20 years ago.

"While my body was sleeping, I think my spirit flew on a triangular-shaped UFO to Venus," she said in the book called "Most Bizarre Things I've Encountered," according to an Internet bookstore bk1, which quoted the passage from the book.

"It was an extremely beautiful place and was very green," she said.

The book is a compilation of interviews with 26 prominent people, including writers, scholars and culinary experts revealing their strange or spiritual experiences, originally published in her "Miracle Interview" column in the monthly spiritual magazine "Mu."

She is also known for her healthy cooking and has published several books, including "Miyuki Hatoyama's Spiritual Food." She is also in charge of making her husband look presentable and healthy.

Her husband is going to be the prime minister for heaven sakes. You'd think she would have kept her mouth shut about him being a nutcase too. But I guess a nutcase doesn't really know any better, huh?

Ahh the Sarah Palin of the Orient. Glad to see we're not the only country plagued with nuts.

It can be observed that those with great imaginations have a better mind than those that don't.
After all we are just conciousness, when you drop your body that conciousness is all that is left of you. After all you are were your attention is...

leave her alone, she said not to take her seriously.

See what popularity does to you!

[ROBACA]

She needs a mental evaluation. Should be a requirement if you are in this type of leadership position.

[DoubleHappiness88]

Think she is nuts? Wait until you get a glimpse of her husband?s delusions of grandeur.

[displeased]

This person is nuts! Worse than Palin!

Area 51 still holds the clue as to space life, maybe President Obama can extend his transparencies to include allowing us to know what really happened out there in the desert. Do I believe in an after life? I believe there is a place outside our dimension of man that is FAR MORE ADVANCED than we are as a young planet and civilization. Do I believe that fine woman has had 'other worldly' experiences? Love to speak with her to find out what she remembers in detail not just words on a piece of paper.
