Apparently, Akie Abe is on the spotlight in Japanese media, as she made an end to the past five years yearning for a First Lady during former PM junichiro Koizumi tenure. Unlike former First Ladies of Japan who often shunned the spotlight, Akie Abe is a peppy 44 years old who won peoples’ hearts by her socialite and vivacious profile, as well as by the couple’s famous handholding. She used to work as a DJ, dances flamenco, and professes her passion for South Korean pop-culture, notably the famous actor Bae Yong Jun. But more importantly, SHE DRINKS, and way too much!

Akie goes to all the parties held down amongst the voters in Abe’s Yamaguchi Prefecture constituency. She guzzles down the sake like it’s going out of style and then lets out a big sigh of relief. Abe’s backers love her for i!

and that is not all…

Akie has also been known to babble over her cups, getting teary after a few too many and pondering whether she’s really suited to be the wife of a prominent politician because she remains childless.

The medias curiosity went beyond drinking parties…

When Akie comes home blind drunk, she often takes off her clothes piece by piece and hurls them to the floor before going to sleep off her drunken stupor,” a close friend of the prime minister’s tells Shukan Gendai. “It really gets Shinzo mad because he has to follow her around and pick all the clothes up one-by-one and put them into the washing machine. He’ll tell her off, but she just turns around and blasts him, telling him he’s got no right to go off at her.
