STORYLINE
A private tour through the late rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley's Memphis mansion on Friday wrapped up two days of consultations between US President George W. Bush and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.
The visit included military pomp, a black-tie dinner and two hours of discussions on Iraq, North Korea, US beef exports and other weighty matters in the Oval Office.
But their outing to the home of Koizumi's musical hero was the highlight of the visit.
Amid the ceramic monkeys, floor-and-ceiling green shag carpet and animal-head armrests of Graceland's Jungle Room, the delighted prime minister just couldn't hold back the Elvis lines.
All it took was a simple invitation from Bush.
"You're a pretty good Elvis singer," the president said, in an obvious prompt to his guest.
Bush knew what was coming, having previously experienced Koizumi's tendency to burst into song when it comes to the late rock 'n' roll legend who is the Japanese leader's undisputed musical hero.
Koizumi quickly complied. "Love me tender," he sang. "Wise men say, 'Only fools rush in.' "
Enter the special tour guides for the two leaders' private tour of Graceland: Presley's only child and heir, Lisa Marie, and her mother, Priscilla.
"This visit here shows that not only am I personally fond of the prime minister, but that the ties between our peoples are very strong as well,"
Bush said after the tour.
It is a farewell tour for Koizumi before he steps down as prime minister in September.

Yea,he ❤ loved so much he also vomited on koizumi which means King lover.
Vote joe Biden out
Amen! But then again, he was never voted in.
None of them are voted in, whether they're Dems or Reps. They're all Zionist puppets and it's all the same team against us. They all bow to the wailing wall in Jerusalem.
この時のプレスリーの真似しよった時はホンマに恥ずかしかった。さすが郵政をアメリカに売りとばして首相にしてもろた浮かれや😅
