During a short meeting of the Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi with Tom Cruise, Japan's number one politician and the American movie idol sang a duet of "I Want You, I Love You, I Need You", the first song Koizumi could sing in English. Cruise said that Koizumi was a "charismatic, cool and wonderful singer". Three years ago, Koizumi had a special Best Of-CD made with his all time Elvis-favorites.
