(Central Station) Shinzo Abe was the best man at singer Agnes Chan's wedding

Late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was the best man of singer Agnes Chan Miling’s Japanese husband Tsutomu Kaneko.

Abe, who was classmates with Tsutomu in secondary school, was also a big fan of Chan’s music in the 1970s when she recorded her first Japanese pop hit, “Poppy Flower.”

32-year-old Abe attended Chan and Tsutomu’s wedding in Hong Kong on January 11, 1986.

The couple arrived at the Cathedral of The Immaculate Conception in a limousine swarmed by fans and illuminated white-hot by the flashes of cameras, and Abe stood by them in a tuxedo as they took their wedding vows.

Abe was also present at Chan’s 30th debut anniversary in 2003, just three years before he began his first term as Prime Minister of Japan in September 2006.
