What we say then since it is the truth about the 66-year-old wife of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama won the oddly named “Best Jeanist Award,” a prize given to denim-clad celebrities, together with musicians and artists including Taiwan actor Jerry Yan.

Just better say “Congrat!”… Miyuki “is wearing jeans in a classy but revolutionary style,” industry group the Japan Jeans Association said, saying the first lady, who is also a TV lifestyle guru, projects a positive spirit representing true denim style.

Miyuki said in the report that she and her husband were wearing jeans when they first met in California while he was studying at the prestigious Stanford University. They married in 1975 after she divorced her previous husband.

“This is the prize I have long wished to win,” Hatoyama told a press conference, wearing traditional blue jeans. “I’m a jeans lover. I’m always putting on jeans as they’re easy to wear.”
