2006 October 28 Saturday.
Tomorrow is the election for Asahikawa City Mayor. The five candidates can been seen in the photo on the left. The 6th poster, that I made of myself, never appeared on any of these poster boards. In fact not only can I not run for mayor, I can't even vote in the election tomorrow, because I am not a Japanese citizen. That's OK with me, but I did feel the need to make my own poster. It says "The Music Party Tastukawa Kitao, Music is 4 Everyone." When my wife saw what I had made, she couldn't stop laughing. I thought it was pretty funny myself. I took the photo of the poster board while I was out in the beautiful autumn sunshine taking a much needed walk. A walk that was interrupted several times by the very loud "sound cars" that the mayoral candidates have there staff members ride around in and shout a lot of meaningless slogans. You can see a photo of one of them in yesterday's blog. Today will be the last day that they can do this, and tomorrow will be the mayoral election. I wonder who the winner will be. I know it won't be me.
