Question from a Reader:
Why does Taro Aso sing?
The Mysterious Connection Between Taro Aso’s Singing and Law
Recently, I came across a question about why Taro Aso sings. To be honest, his reasons for singing are somewhat unclear, but I find it an interesting perspective. Singing is a form of self-expression and may also play a role in shaping his
image as a politician.
What Lies Behind His Songs
I feel that Aso’s songs reflect his personality and hobbies. He is known for having diverse interests, and music is certainly one of them. The choice of songs, especially ones like “Escort/moppi-sound,” shows a glimpse of his humorous side. Through singing, he likely aims to soften the rigid image of politics. In fact, when I worked part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, I often incorporated light jokes and music discussions to ease the seriousness of the law. One day, a colleague suddenly said, “Law is like music,” and we all burst into laughter. The conclusion at that moment was that both law and music value rhythm and flow.
Unexpected Discoveries and Empathy
Watching Aso sing, I can’t help but think he is trying to show his humanity as well. Beyond his role as a politician, his commitment to valuing his hobbies and personality resonates with many. As a judicial scrivener, I often find myself labeled with a stiff image, but I believe it’s essential to sometimes relax and enjoy life. Recently, during a break at the office, I overindulged in snacks brought by a colleague, which affected my work in the afternoon. Such small missteps remind us that finding enjoyment outside of work can be one of life’s true pleasures.
