This is so Japanese · 2007-05-03

This is so Japanese! What would a campaign spot on T.V. for the Tokyo Governors Office look like? With all my stereotypes in mind I would picture just this. Brilliant, no sweet lies, no selling out, no compromises ... and the Japanese language stresses the whole idea:

By the way, the content is most lovely as well: "I don't have a single constructive proposal." Great, when has a campaigning politician been this honest? I cannot remember.

    I can remember a japanese film which should fit your intention. It was shown at the Berlinale ‘07: “Campaign”.
