Hatoyama still Takes Heart!

Submitted By: Kyle Reynolds 5 November 2009 357 views One Comment

Love him or hate him? Either way he’s a singing fool.

Hatoyama, the Singing Japanese PM is ready and set to go to the top of music charts after a pop song he recorded more than two decades ago was re-released.

The 62-year-old’s CD, Take Heart – Tobitate Heiwa no Tori yo (Take Heart – Fly, Dove of Peace), is in shops across the country.

The newly-elected leader recorded the song 22 years ago. According to Teichiku Entertainment the song was initially made into a record in the summer of 1987. About 100 records were produced back then and they were never sold, although Hatoyama presented them to his supporters in 1989.
