A photo of “lunch” posted on x by Katsuei Hirazawa, who is running in Tokyo’s 17th district in the House of Representatives election (voting on October 27, 2024), is causing a stir. Hirasawa, who said, “To save time, I bought a bento box at a convenience store and ate it in the car,” has been criticized for “making the usual election-period post to appeal to the common people.” ■ “Why would they bother to post something like ’I made do with convenience store bento’?” On the 9th, the LDP decided to remove Hirazawa from its official endorsement following a slush fund scandal surrounding a political fundraising party run by an LDP faction. In response to this, Hirazawa decided to run as an independent for the first time. Meanwhile, on the 16th, Hirasawa released a photo of himself eating a convenience store bento in a car while traveling on his x trip. Wearing a blue polo shirt and a sash, Hirasawa was sitting in the back seat, holding a bento box full of fried food and stuffing his face full. “Today, as with yesterday, I am touring Katsushika Ward. I wanted to meet as many people as possible, so to save time I bought a bento box at a convenience store and ate it in the car,” he added. When asked why he chose a convenience store bento, Hirasawa said it was “to save time,” but users who saw the post were quick to criticize, saying things like, “Why would you go out of your way to post something like ’I made do with a convenience store bento’? It’s a normal thing for ordinary people, you wouldn’t post something so normal,” and “Don’t you know that there are families out there who can’t afford convenience store bento because they’re too expensive?” Read more on Yahoo News j-cast 2024/10/21.
>>1 That’s normal, there’s no time during elections. Even for the average citizen, eating convenience stores and beef bowls every day is the bottom of the barrel.
I think it would be more interesting to hear someone say that, having lost the backing of the party, they can finally understand a little bit about how the common people feel.
Actually, you should do it all the time. Instead of having secret meetings at a traditional Japanese restaurant, have them on the sofa in your office over a convenience store bento and canned chuhai.
This is proof that I have a misunderstanding of what an average person should have for lunch. I just think, “It’s delicious. Let’s eat dinner and do our best in the afternoon.” Otherwise, it will become a show matter that will attract resentment.
If HQ doesn’t plan the book to that extent and control the SNS messages, they are third-rate.
It reminded me of the scene in Kochikame where Ryoutsu runs for election, eats rice balls in front of the media, and eats a fancy steak when the media leaves. Coincidentally, he’s a candidate in Katsushika Ward lol.
I was just riding a campaign vehicle. I was really pissed when they said “please take care of the cyclist over there”. Is it bad to ride a bicycle in the countryside?
>>48 When he travels abroad, he brings McDonald’s food with him and brings specialized staff with him. He must be addicted to it, just like Mogi’s Peyoung.
