Kane Tanaka celebrated her 119th birthday in Japan, continuing her run in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest woman in the world.  Eiji Tanaka, her 62-year-old grandson, told the Japanese outlet Kyodo, “I hope she remains healthy and has fun every day as she grows older.â€Â  Tanaka born in 1903 (the same year the Wright brothers made their first powered flight) loves carbonated beverages and posed for photographers last year with a peace sign, drinking a can of coke.  Tanaka has seen five Japanese imperial reigns and two world wars.
