Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on September 20, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Taro Aso! You've always brought bold humor and spirited discussions into Japanese politics; no one gave press conferences quite like you. While your tenure as Prime Minister from 2008 to 2009 was brief, it certainly wasn't lacking in character—or unforgettable remarks. Controversy aside, you've shown Japan how courageously candid (sometimes too candid) a politician can be.

In recent years, despite occasional eyebrow-raising comments catching headlines worldwide, your directness has kept political debates lively and entertaining for us all. May this birthday remind everyone that keeping conversation interesting is also an incredible accomplishment—wishing laughter-filled days ahead!
