Japan's Prime Minister Taro Aso is pictured through reporters as he answers a question after meeting with Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa at the premier's official residence in Tokyo February 16, 2009. Nakagawa denied on Monday that he had been drunk at a G7 news conference but the opposition demanded he be fired, piling pressure on unpopular Aso ahead of an election this year.
