The wife of the likely prime minister of Japan has not been shy about airing some unorthodox views. "A strong believer in spiritualism, Miyuki Hatoyama said in a TV appearance earlier this year she met U.S. actor Tom Cruise -- in a previous life. She also claims that her soul has traveled to Venus on a UFO. "I was with him (Cruise) then. So he would recognize me when I see him and say long time, no see!'" she said, though cautioned the program's young interviewer not to take her seriously. "I also eat the sun," Hatoyama said on the program, looking up with her eyes closed, raising her arms high as if she was tearing pieces off an imaginary sun. "Like this, hum, hum, hum. It gives me enormous energy."
