		<description>Sorry this is a late reply and this isn't a personal dig at anyone but seriously folks, no offence but if you don't like being referred to as "Gaijin" or nothing having the same privileges or voting rights, etc, then why bother living in Japan? Why not return to your own home country? 

I'd like to point out it is hypocritical, too, considering most of you would be on the same anti-immigration ideas if it was in your own backyard back at home. 

So, simply put, you don't like it, go back home. Your the immigrant, it's their country, so just deal with it instead of moaning or comparing Ishihara to Hitler.

That is what really does peeve me. People just automatically think that immigrating to someone else's country gives them "the right" to do things.

You come to Britain and it'll be the same. Don't expect swarthes of we British to come up hugging you, same like the Japanese. 

So, lastly and once again, if you don't like Japan, then go back home and stop whining about it.</description>

		<description>Red, you think that Toyama Koichi was wierd?  You should have been around in 1991.  In the Tokyo elections back then a guy called Uchida Yuya stood for governor.  His slogan was "if you're gonna refrain then at least put a vote in for rock'n'roll".  His "seikenhosou" is one of the best videos of I've seen on youtube for a while - check it out (especially around the 2 minute mark):

Maybe Japan was kinda fucking confused back in 1939, but Tokyo was clearly a happening place back in 1991. 

He actually got over 50,000 votes! (enough to fill Tokyo dome)</description>

		<description>I guess in the end you were right Osaka Builder, but Ishihara did give up quite a lot this time.  Although everyone knows that he is unofficially endorsed by the LDP, it seems as though the LDP wasn't enough to help him this time.  In the midst of the bad publicity (about giving his son a job etc like Red was talking about in the article) apparently he went crying to the Sokagakkai to ask for votes.  I wonder what he gave up in exchange for the support.

Long live the power of Ikeda Daisaku...</description>

		<description>Quite unsurprisingly, El Presidente Ishihara cruised home. I don't know what the media were smoking when they suggested he would have a hard time of it, but he even managed to just outdo by my guess that he would get 50% of the vote. Personally, I still think he deserves about as much recognition as the effervescent Dr. Nakamatsu on his bouncing shoes (who incidentally didn't help his cause for world domination with a modest 1.5% of the vote). Asano was a no-starter in my opinion, but no viable candidate is likely to risk going up against our smiling dictator.</description>
