I'm afraid it's all part of the job;
I have my fans to think of...
At home, I'm completely the opposite.
I dress like a slob and only shower
once every three days.
Let me give you an analogy...

In an ideal world, they'd offer
safe and delicious vegetables
regardless of their appearance...
But in reality, supermarkets line
the shelves with the prettiest
cucumbers.

That's the simple truth...

> President Tanaka seems to be
thinking.
President Tanaka
Awkward-shaped cucumbers are
difficult to stack, so stores
prefer nice straight ones.
Taste and safety are not really
considered. Instead, they carry
cucumbers that even mold won't eat.

So, why do consumers still buy these
cucumbers when they know the truth?
Simple. People trust what they see.
Appearance matters most.
That's why, as much as I hate spending
money, I buy expensive ties to win
people's trust...

Wait! You remember what I just
said...?
About me dressing like a slob and
not showering everyday...
Don't tell ANYONE! I can't afford
to have people start believing
I'm ordinary!

You're the only one who knows...
