Wake up, Mr Nakagawa

Japanese who watched footage of their former finance minister slur his words and appear to nod off at a Group of Seven press conference can now try to keep him awake in a new cell phone game.

In the new phone game called Drowsy Presser by Drugged Minister players can wake a likeness of Shoichi Nakagawa as he fields questions at a press conference, or allow him to sneak in short naps to build up his energy levels.
