Prime ministerial red bean buns

I found these funny manju packages on a street corner last week. The pink one features ex-prime minister Junichiro Koizumi. It's called "Sayonara Jun-chan Manju" and you see Koizumi waving with a smile. The three guys holding hands in the bottom right corner are his three successors to date, Aso, Fukuda, and Abe.

The package on the left is called "Birth of Taro-chan Manju," ad it features Taro Aso, the current prime minister. He's sitting on an executive's chair saying "I will make Japan brighter and stronger!" and if you look closely, you see ex-PM Jun-chan waving goodbye in the background.
