Aso: “This is the Official Residence Ghost, Nice To Meet You.” The Truth Is Here…
1. “This is the official residence ghost. Nice to meet you.” LDP, Aso.
Three days after entering the prime minister’s official residence, Yoshida Shigeru came out saying, “This place is haunted.” Talk continued of it being haunted, and this made former prime ministers Murayama Tomiichi and and Mori Yoshiro say, “Ah, so it was a ghost?” While sleeping, they could hear doors rattling. After asking who it was, it would stop, but then before long it would start again. Both Murayama and Mori said that when they approached the door, they could hear military boots walking on the other side.
When I entered the residence, that door had been changed to a new one, so I didn’t hear any rattling. There were no windows at all, and the entire place was surrounded by bulletproof glass, so at night, the walls shook and shook.
Even though there were no earthquakes, every night the walls shook. ‘Ah, so this is the ghost,’ I thought. “My name is Aso Taro, I have just been instated as the new prime minister. We’re going to be living together now, so let’s live together peacefully,” I said towards the walls.
Nothing moved after that, so even now I still wonder if that was a ghost. (From Twitter live audio streaming “Space”).”

5. Doesn’t somebody else live there?
6. It’s hard to tell if Aso is telling the truth or just joking though.
9. Did they hold a purification ceremony when they rebuilt it?
12. Who is the ghost? If it’s in the official residence, does that mean it’s a former prime minister?
21. >>12 Perhaps Inukai (Tsuyoshi) from the May 15 Incident?
23. >>12 If they heard military boots, then maybe it was a young officer from the February 26 Incident?
24. >>12 He said military boots, so it had to be a young officer.
127. >>12 If you’re wearing military boots, you have to be a soldier. So, a soldier with access to the official residence. It’s strange that the government hasn’t hired a powerful spirit medium to help the spirit move on. It’s like they’re treating it as a guardian spirit.
13. Security guard: “My bad lol.”
19. >>13 Maybe it’s a job checking all the doors are locked, lol.
44. The building isn’t deteriorating, right? It’s just leaning.
177. >>44 Actually, the official residence had a roof leak for several years. There was no budget for it, so they weren’t able to fix it. They only just fixed it recently.
50. Well, it’s a place full of the thoughts and feelings of those who have run the country, so yeah. It’s full of strong emotions. The stagnation swirls in the hollowest part of this place called Japan.
52. It stopped after he greeted it? So Mori etc were that careless?
53. It’s hard to imagine a wall and not a floor shaking. Maybe it just looks like it’s shaking visually but it’s not actually physically shaking.
85. I can’t see ghosts, so I’m jealous. I wanna live there too. I should get a job there.
88. They should have charged it rent.
89. If you look for military boots on Amazon you can find some for around 5,000 yen. None of them seem to make much noise.
91. >>89 Some of the shoes worn by former army generals (lace-up boots and low cut shoes) had non-slip tacks and parts that looked like horseshoes. That’s why they made that tapping sound when they walked on hard floors. Most these days have rubber soles.
95. Is the ghost no longer there now? I wonder if it only appears for prime ministers and such?
102. It has to be the most famous haunted house in all of Japan.
111. >>102 Right? They’ve even relocated and continue to use it. After that, it has to be Tokyo Station or something.
107. It’s just a regular haunted house. Exorcise it and then rebuild it again.
109. Someone must have rattled the door handle. And that is far more scary.
149. So, he faced the wall and gave it that perfect bow, right? That’s kind of heartwarming, lol.
157. >>149 I think he was just joking. He’s an old man now, but it would be funny if he really did it just in case.
171. But strange things really do happen there, huh?
190. This guy tells funny stories.
56. I wanna spend the night there. Let me spend the night.
