Tokyo governor candidate and youtube celebrity Kouichi Toyama is henceforth the second most popular internet phenomenon after Haruhi Suzumiya among Japanese Otaku netizens. YouTube user Oniazuma has done a good job subtitling the video I posted several weeks back.
And as a special treat for Japundit readers, here are some of the most famous parodies and tweaks of this famous campaign video…

[…] Needless to say, some of what Ishihara does have its merits. Clearly we (or should I say they) shouldn’t be tolerating illegal workers and foreigners who come to Japan (or Tokyo) should abide by the laws. With the huge number of retirees expected in the next three years as the baby boomer generation retires, Japan Inc is going to suffer a brain drain of immense proportions. This is disasterous timing to be tightening immigration rules. The solution is more than just allowing a few dozen Philippina maids into the country to help out with the shortage of nursing home workers (which is what Ishihara seems to be suggesting). Politicians need to make sure that there is a sturdy system to educate and support immigrants so that they understand that they are protected by the state and guaranteed a better lifestyle when playing by the rules. That probably means increased rights for foreigners and the ability to get involved in politics. To his credit, I was impressed that Ishihara’s campaign man was willing to talk with me, even if he didn’t really answer my questions. I wonder what it would have been like if I had’ve visited Toyama Koichi (澶栧北鎭掍竴)’s campaign office? (check out his election speech on japundit) […]
