In case you’re wondering why I’ve been silent during this campaign, the reason is simple. The DPJ scheduled its election the same week as my doctoral exams (how rude! – ed.) and so I have not been able to follow this electoral campaign to anywhere near the degree I would have liked. Apparently appearing on TV to talk about Japanese politics is how I unwind after a day spent writing.
