a campaign staff member of a candidate running in the recent House of Representatives election, and what is causing controversy is the extremely risqué clothing of the female staff, including extremely short skirts and short pants. The person who appointed him was the campaign team of Masafumi Tabuchi, a doctor who ran as an independent in Tokyo’s 26th district. As Tabuchi and his election staff walked around his constituency in Meguro Ward, Tokyo, wearing matching jackets, one of them was wearing shorts, while the other female staff member was also wearing fishnet stockings. Another staff member posted a picture on social media of herself supporting Tabuchi while wearing a miniskirt. The criticism was met with a succession of comments such as, “I wish they would know where they are” and “Please support them seriously,” with further criticism directed at Mr. Tabuchi, with comments such as, “Was this requested by someone?” and “I question the integrity of someone who would approve of this.” The clothing worn by female staff members caused controversy

Masafumi Tabuchi:
The lines of their buttocks were visible, which I thought was extreme. It was not my instruction, but (it had been decided) that we would wear yellow-green jumpers during election campaigning, but there were no specific regulations regarding what happened from the waist down. (The matter progressed without my knowledge) I regret that I did not manage it properly. ◾ Asked directly, “It was simply hot. There’s nothing special about it.”
So why did he dress like that? When we interviewed the female staff member who worked in shorts, she said, “It was simply hot, and I was used to wearing fishnet stockings, so there was no particular reason for it. Since it’s about freedom of dress code, Tabuchi seems to think it’s fine,” he said. Legal experts said that there was “no problem” with shorts, but had some comments about the female staff member’s miniskirt. ▽ Attorney Matsukuma Takashi, Hashimoto Law Office:
(Q. Regarding the photo of her in a miniskirt) The first thing that comes to mind is that it’s a violation of the Minor Offenses Act. There is a good chance that you will receive a stern warning from the police. Meanwhile, the Tokyo Metropolitan Election Commission responded by saying it was “not aware of the issue.” (From “It!” broadcast on October 28th)
