A political candidate and member of the Minshuto (he Democratic Party of Japan) promotes herself in Saitama, a prefecture where many Tokyo workers live. Rolling campaigns are common in Japan, where elections mean megaphone addresses and white-gloved politicians shaking hands at the local train station.
