There is a stir of controversy in Tokyo, an Independent political candidate for the Chiyoda Ward Assembly poses nude on a billboard in Japan and it's making people talk.The Japanese culture is very uptight about these things, and so much so that everything relating to politics is very much the same thing for each candidate. Dress the same, say the same things, have billboards saying the exact same thing as the other candidates. But there's a rebel in the group and his name is Teruki Goto. He stands proud raising his samurai sword in front of the rising sun with only mere kanji modestly covering his manly bits.His ad, while it is most certainly eye-catching has stirred up controversy as no one has ever seen a politician so bold before. While he is not exactly naked since kanji does the censoring, there's absolutely no law stating that a business suit with a sash needs to be used for political campaigns, rather no one probably ever thought that someone would eventually wear a birthday suit, but then again if you give it time, someone always will.People will have the chance to erect elect him on Sunday (tomorrow). Will you rise to the occasion and send him your hard earned support or will you opt for a completely different candidate?
