Double or nothing news quiz

Hey there Saturday browsers, fancy a news quiz Japanese style? These are some of the biggest (or at least most easily illustrated) stories doing the rounds over here. Can you arrange the four into two natural pairs? There is no correct answer, but 10 points if you can guess what was in my head...


New Japanese Prime Minister, Taro Aso, an avid reader of manga comics and grandson-in-law of a former prime minister, reveals his new cabinet, as reported by the Mainichi Daily News.

North Korea's beloved father of the nation, Kim Jong Il, may or may not be a bit poorly.


Aya Sugimoto, actress and "respected erotic novelist" according to the The Japan Times, bares all in opposition to the fur business.


One of 10 rare Crested Ibises is released into the wild, as reported by The Japan Times.

Any suggestions? Answers posted tomorrow at 9am Japan time. For more fun with quizzes while you wait for the answer, click here.
