Man running for office in Japan has Joker makeup and an unusual platform

Yuusuke Kawai runs for governor of Chiba Prefecture in Japan (6.3 million inhabitants). Here he is at NHK to tell voters what he plans to do, as translated by Kotaku:

  • Build a red tower, like the Tokyo Tower in Chiba, but call it the Tokyo Tower (your reasoning is that Tokyo Disneyland is not really located in Tokyo, but in Chiba – revenge, I think!)
  • Rename Narita Airport, which is located in Chiba, as Disney Sky
  • Make “Let It Go” from the Frozen Chiba theme song
  • Ban the word “trash” in Chiba and replace it with the words “star fragment”
  • Consult the agitators, for whom Chiba is known, for the cutest sound “Olaf”
  • Rename Makuhari Station as “Makuhari Messe Station is not here”

Why does Japan stay with normal politicians, while the United States stays with crazy people like Marjorie Taylor Greene?
