What Running for Election in Japan is Like

- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- The very first documentary from Ryotaro's Japan follows Shunsuke Ajiki in his attempt to be elected as a politician in Japan. Elections here are quite different to in the west - so take a in-depth behind the scenes look at how a candidate makes their voice heard.
You may remember Shun from my video introducing Tome City, this documentary follows his struggle to become a city councilor.

Although Shun lost the election, the company he started seems to be doing very well and I am very happy about that.
As Shun will probably read all the comments, please a leave a message if you have anything that you would like to tell him.
Hey, Ryotaro, great video. very interesting. i have a question: is it also relevant to write the name correct in this city election like the voting papers similar to the national vote (where you have to write the full names)?
He won my heart, he will win next time, already shows how hard working he wants to be, a true example.
Thanks for the video Ryotaro, you help me keep going.
Are major political parties interfering in local elections in Japan? Had your friend the support of one?
What a content and quality, Ryotaro. Started to following your channel because of you being a part of Abroad team, but stayed for the actual "Ryotaro content". As for Shun - you can do it!
By far your best video. This mini documentary suits you so well. Keep it up!
Easily the best video you've released to date. A fascinating, if not brutal look at what it takes to become a politician in Japan. Great work!
(Can't believe I'm actually recommending a Ryotaro's Japan episode. What has the world come to...)
Truly an inside look of the field
We all know that Ryotaro was pointing gun at you while making this comment. lol
This must be indeed the first time, you actually recommend my video. Thanks for that. Hope nothing bad will happen.
Chris blink twice if you need us to call the police.
@@RyotarosJapan the first step of Risotoro becoming a Trump style prime miister in Japan.
I'm Shun!
Thanks for all the comments！
I'm reading it all！
We are moving forward with hope!
Everyone's comments make me the happiest☺︎！
My challenge isn't over yet ...！
Your struggle is truly impressive! Show these old timers what a young Japan will be like!
You should need more youngsters to lead Japan, one day, in the government.
Youngster voice needs to be hear right now.
We are behind you, Shun! Don't let this stop you, this is just the beginning!
You just need to keep at to become a recognisable face!
俊介さんは一生懸命働きました、将来的には勝てると信じています！
I like a lot of what you make, but this style of content (while I would imagine much more time consuming) is my favorite. It's great to have the opportunity to learn about Japanese ground level civics.
I am glad that you liked this style of video. It is motivating.
So true, videos about the culture and ethics are so very interesting and educational.
Definitely, I like the balance of less flashy, more genuine life in Japan type fo stuff.
@@colonelvector More of this kind of stuff! Its very different from the usual Japan vids on the internets! It sets Ryotaro-san apart, methinks.
This style of documentary is a good fit for Ryotaro's Japan.
I agree, it's very well made and I would love to see more.
I would like this, but I canNOT stand to ruin the _nice_ number of likes!
Next time I'm in Japan I'll be stopping by Tome just because of Shun. The smaller towns don't get enough love and it's nice to see a younger citizen so passionate about their town.
Hi！im Shun！
Thank you!
We are moving forward！
Until the day when it stands up four years later! !!
@@俊介安食 Good luck on your next election Shun! You won our hearts!
@@俊介安食 Best of luck for your next election
I must say, I wasn't sure what to expect from this channel, especially coming over from Chris Broad's channel. But from what I've seen here I am very impressed. Chris' brand of sardonic comedy may be all well and good, but I definitely appreciate this more sober look at the real Japan, the Japan that no travel video can show you, the Japan that only those who live there, those who were born there, may ever know.
If you like these kind of videos, Chris has made a few documentaries in the past about Japan. Unfortunately, they aren't well performing videos, but that doesn't mean they aren't very good at all! Maybe you already know about them, but just in case I thought I'd mention it.
Here's one: ruclips.net/video/YDvKkG1FTbU/видео.html
I love both channels and each has their own charm. Continue the hard work, both of you content creators!
The speaker vans driving around is the one and only thing I do not miss after leaving Japan LOL
Agreed,but at least their election cycles are blessedly short instead of the never ending slog in the U.S.
@Jordan Spencer ???
Dear Shun,
What you said about young people changing the future is very inspirational! I think in this day an age it’s important for the youth to realize our voice and opinions matter! Only way to keep up with current trends is listening, learning and willingness to grow :) best of luck to you in your future endeavors, your hard work is paying off I am sure!
Hi！i'm Shun！
Thank you for your comment!
What Japan lacks is the enthusiasm of young people to change their country!
I will definitely stand up again!!!!!
@@009農泊チャンネル gambatte!
@@009農泊チャンネル Best of luck Shun, perhaps you could start your own RUclips channel, maybe with some help from Ryotoro, to be open and honest and talk about what you can offer Tome. I'm sure young people will respond to that 😊
Never give up, Never surrender!
It's incredibly brave to put yourself on a public platform like that.
I'm Australian and visited Japan 5 times previously. I've never heard of Tome before and I'll be making sure to add it to my list of towns to visit in the future. Love your video style Ryotaro, it's improving a lot!
I will definitely tell Shun. He will be more than happy to hear that.
I want to see a show based entirely around Shun's campaign manager
big facts, that guy seemed like such a pro.
He cares so much for his city and his people, he will lead the way for the next generation. This is step 1 of a long journey and he will succeed
Shun,
As an outsider looking in I can't help but admire your courage to attempt change, especially by attempting to break into the political sphere. People like you WILL be the catalyst that will bring lasting change in the future. Thank you for caring and believing in the young voices of today and tomorrow, and I wish you much luck and all the best.
I was really rooting for Shun. It’s so frustrating to loose when you put in so much work and effort. I hope he’s not too disheartened and that he will run again next time.
It's Shun!
Thanks for your comment!
We are moving forward with hope!
Create a town where young people can speak up!
"There's no changing the results but I won't let it stop me. This is just one of many steps forward."
-Ajiki Shunsuke
Incredible production! Just as expected from the man who taught daveinjapan everything he knows!
As a foreigner living in Tokyo for the past 1.5 year, this is really interesting for me on how the politician running their campaign. No big crowd gathering, it's totally different compared to Indonesia. I really hope more and more young politician in Japan manage to get elected in the future. Best of luck for the future Shun....
well this is a local election plus covid, so im sure it got pretty tone down compare to pre-covid
@Dang Memes can it beat India's tho?
during the election, here in Indonesia, usually, we waiting for DAWN ATTACK when the candidate bribe us for some money so we will vote for him/her.
AaaaaaaaaaAAAAAHHHHHHHhhhhhhh, so YOU are the person from whom Chris learned his documentary-style ways. It is actually TO YOU whom the credit should go. Well played, Master Film maker Ryotaro. You trained Chris well.
This is awesome, Ryotaro.
This was the first video from you where it just seems like you're doing your own thing while really valuing the subject at hand.
If you told me this was some kind of BBC documentary I would've believed you.
Outstanding work, Risotto!
500 people is no small amount. I must say, though, that the class and verve in which you handled your loss gives me ABSOLUTE faith in your future. Hell of a first time run, sir. Hell of a first time run. Ryotaro, build your channel so you can get him more votes.
Wow, that clip at 7:50 was gripping, thanks Ryotaro
I could not hold myself there either
Daaaaaaaaamn!! For a second there I thought YOU were running!!🤣🤣
Bruh same
Same here.
Same here
We need this to happen
who knows? after experiencing this, he might run in the future
This is your best work yet Ryotaro! A great mini-doc! Politics in Japan is quite different than here in Canada. Keep these videos coming. Cheers from Newfoundland, Canada.
It was tough seeing him lose the election. It's not easy for someone young and new to succeed in politics. I have to say I have a lot of respect for him taking on that challenge and even more respect that he was able to start a successful business despite the setback.
Ryotaro - Great work on this video. This is your finest work. I prefer this video style, because it shows the real life of Japan.
Shun - Dare to be great. Everything takes time and we must take the long view.
This is really powerful. It certainly emphasizes the level of sacrifice and effort that Shun need to put in, along with his entire team. My respect to him.
No idea you made these kinds of videos but I’m about it man
Wow, this is great insight into this process! Very different from our system.. I love how hands-on it is compared to our campaigns.
imo it should be that way... you are trying to help the people not rule over them with iron fist... people remembers, people has all the power, except when they are made to forget and choose for a fictional stability facade...
This video and Shun's message reflect what issues are most relevant to young people in most democracies, namely the fresh energy of the young population. I wish him the best for the upcoming elections. This is by far the best video so far on this Chanel. Very well done, Ryotaro!
Risotoro is officially making higher quality content than Chris :D
This is a very well-made documentary. It's rare to find true-to-life narratives like these on Japan-related RUclips videos, especially meant for a global audience. As the comments on this video suggest, there is a very ripe audience for content like this - so please keep up the good work!
100% Respect from London. Wishing Shun & his family all the very best moving forward !
Wasn't expecting this one to make me emotional but you got me. Seeing how passionate and determined Shun is about making important changes moved me. Having a government job and being unable to make a positive difference can be disheartening. Many people either become complacent with their position and stop caring or don't want change because it makes them uncomfortable. We need younger officials who understand the government is there to make life better for its citizens. There's needs to be actual progress, not just movement.
That video was phenomenal!! My wife and I were on the edge of our seats at the end. I know he will will the next election. We also have seen the election cars go by in Japan but never knew the process. Thank you for the informational video!
Ryotaro, damn you. You made me cry in the middle of the day about a local election all the way in Japan.
Seriously, this is an excellent documentary. Shun seems like a genuinely good person trying his best to improve his city. I admire him a lot. When I get to Japan, Tome will be a must-see.
I really like this style of video from you Ryotaro. I hope for more "stories" told from your perspective and about things we non Japanese people do not know about.
頑張ってください
I think this is my favourite video yet
I have recently returned back home after staying a few months in Tokyo. I used to hear these voices of campaigns and was always wondering why they keep repeating the sentence. Now I understand 😀 informative! Arigato gozaimasu 🙏 Good luck for Shun-san next elections 🙏
I'm Shun!
Thanks for your comment!
We are moving forward with hope!
I am happy with everyone's comments.
This was an absolutely awesome video. Such a great behind the scenes view in a process that really is very different in many ways from elections in the west. I really liked the candidate and how earnest he was. He has my vote!
Very interesting video and something I hadn't understood even after living in Japan back in the '80s.
I hope Shunsuke-san does not give up in his attempts to improve his city!
Thank you for making this! As a foreigner living in Japan, it's so easy for me to get annoyed at the people behind the megaphones for being noisy, and to forget there's a person with hopes and dreams. And the process is so very, very different than elections in the U.S., at any level, fascinating for the political scientist in me.
I like these sort of more serious, educational videos next to the more fun videos Ryotaro is making, hope to see more.
I think Shun was very brave to run for this election. Even if the outcome was not good in the end, I hope he's not going to give up and try again next time. He tried to stand up and give voice for the younger generations, which is very important. Sadly, most of the politics (not just in Japan, but all around the world) are dominated by older people, who don't seem to care about the issues that the newer generations have to deal with. We need more people like Shun!
I understand how he must feel. I studied politics and international studies at a university, I wanted to bring change to the people, but it's really hard to gain support when most of the system works against you.
Also, thank you Ryotaro for making this video, you did an amazing work!
Spectacular video Ryotaro! So informative, and splendidly edited together.
あじきさん、頑張ってください！！！
DONT GIVE UP SHUN!! This was a great look at the human aspect of something that most foreigners living in Japan have complained about in blogs, vlogs and podcasts. We typically only hear about the "loud vans" moving about shouting names and phrases at all hours during the election period. It was great to have a BTS look at how passionate your friend Shun is regarding change for his city and the voices therein. This was a great video and while a departure from your normal style, I am 100% on wanting to see more of this from you.
This is amazing to show this risotto!!! I hope shun continues to go forward and succeeds 👉👈
although it was not a victorious campaign, it was still very much a successful one. You should be proud of your hard working staff members! The opportunity to win your seat will return, and with the help of your supporters you will take your success one step further next time!!!
While I have never spoken to you or met you, I felt the kindness, the passion, the drive, everything through this video. Your goal to change the system and give a voice to younger people is certainly something that I and I'm sure many others, appreciate. Things didn't go the way they did, but I believe this is YOUR opportunity to learn, adapt, and come back stronger than ever. I look forward to hearing more of your stories as you progress further into your journey!
Great job Shun! You showed hard work and I’m sure your family is proud of you. Thank you for allowing Ryotaro follow your journey. It gave people around the world insight into part of the Japanese election process. I wish you much success in the future.
This was terrific. I watched this video from start to finish rooting for Shun. Sad that he lost but hopefully he’ll learn and win a seat next election.
Thank you so much for this fascinating insight into politics and elections in Japan! Excellent for foreign students looking at Japanese politics. Shun may have lost but his dream lives on
I appreciate a candidate who actually wants to improve something, he will do MUCH better next time :)
Fantastic video, a really interesting look at ground level politics in Japan. I wish Shun the best of luck for his future campaigns, it really is refreshing to see someone so passionate about improving things where they live.
I like the local perspective and info support, this video is top contents.
This is one of the best documentaries on Japan I've seen, Ryotaro. You provided the viewers with such an emotional connection to Shun, the people around Shun, and all while providing a unique insight into Japanese politics. You made them very human, and personal, something a lot of documentaries fail to do. I really do hope this goes viral, it deserves nothing less.
This video is much calmer and u speak way more clearly! Like the old days ^^,
Great video. this is something I would expect from Al Jazeera news docos. I wouldn't mind matching more of these type of videos on your Channel. Keep it up.
This video is very well crafted, I appreciate the cinematography and camera shots!
Amazing work Ryotaro!
I hope there's more of these documentary style videos in the coming future, it gives an in-depth look in Japan that isn't really explored by other Japanese focused RUclips channels.
Ryotaro, thanks for this content. Like many, all I see/hear is the irritatingly constant repetition of names from the callers, so it's good to see some humanity behind it. I find it odd how neat the votes were, nice and round, and how formulaic the campaign manager made it. Good for Ajiki-san though, more people should try to stand for these things. Alas as a non Japanese I can't :(
This is very interesting. Elections are a very interesting look into a culture.
It's very interesting to see, but i can't wrap my head around the "it doesn't matter what you stand for, it's only important that people see you work hard... Of course i don't want to vote for a lazy bum, but an incredibly hard worker that works in what i perceive as the completely wrong direction is way worse...
I am not Japanese , but I do enjoy watching Japanese politics so I'll try to explain as i see it. I think it's common to vote based on this principle not only in japan but in many countries. I feel like locals usually vote for e.g.mayor, governor... not based on what he promises but rather what have you heard about him from other locals, and that is only amplified when the locals are older lol. However I noticed that this is the case mostly for local elections, in general elections, I'd say, people don't really vote based on this but rather party affiliation or endorsement from a bigger politician.
This is so well made mate…please keep making videos
Poweful documentary. I am really impressed with the Courage, Engagement and Passion of Ajike-san. Don't give up!
I came here from Chris' Patreon newsletter. It's crazy to me how people are so passionate about serving their community, also encouraging that people like this still exist. 30 candidates! All the best Shun, all the best stories start with some obstacles at the beginning.
Can't believe I am late - thank you Ryotaro, this video was so instructive and I really could feel even just a bit of the pressure that Shun-san was under. He did an amazing job for his first election ever and I wish him great success in his future endeavours. Really felt sad when his son asked "where's your name Dad?" that hit me hard. Wishing him all the very best!
I love the fact you've given time to the election process and also given us a view behind the curtain on such matters~
So moving. So well filmed. Best video I've seen in a long time.
Man I love Risotoro's channel
I love that Ryotaro started this channel probably just as a joke and now he’s publishing some of the best 🇯🇵 related content out there
Shun, your voice and words in the video had a genuine sincerity to voicing your struggles and concerns. Don't give in and never lose sight of your message.
You didn't win the election, but you won the faith of 500 people. I think that's amazing, especially for a 'newcomer' to politics.
I'm from the UK, where a lot of people are apathetic towards politicians (myself included). It's refreshing to hear someone speak with a sense of genuineness.
Change can be hard to achieve, but it's the struggles we go through that make it worthwhile.
Ryotaro for Prime Minister!!!
best of luck in future, shun! it's very admirable for a younger person to try to break into politics, so keep trying!! you will get there in the end, don't lose hope!! thank you to ryotaro for making this video, it was very informative and i would love to see more content like this in the future!
Awesome idea for a video. Very interesting to see how an election is going in Japan from the candidates' perspective. Keep it up, Ryotaro and I'm sorry for losing the election
Really well produced
This was truly insightful and eye-opening. Thank you both for the chance to learn more, Ryotaro and Shunsuke :)
I was tearing up when he was making that speech. Very well done video, I hope Shun achieves his dream of changing Tome for the better
This is really cool. It feels very...ground level. With just a car, meeting locals, and speech. Different to how it is here, with a lot of advertisement, massive posters, and almost 0 local interaction. Though it's probably not like this for every city, since in a big city like Tokyo it's probably not possible.
Dear Shun.
I was crossing my fingers and read the comments at the end. Don't lose your spark, young people like you are the key to changing the future. All the best from Hungary.
This is something you really don't get to see. Props to documenting this!
This is incredible work Ryotaro, keep it up! The cinematography, the narrative, the emotion... everything's perfect 😊
Keep trying Shun! Japan was an economic miracle in the late 20th century. Part of the stagnation is down to young innovators not being given the chance to make real changes for the better!
i mean sure, but also it was an economic bubble less a miracle. bubbles burst
Indeed, we seriously need innovative and challenging young ones like him. I want Japanese society to be a little more tolerant.
@@SorchaSublime I'm referring to the period of time from 1945 to around 1990. It was nothing less than a miracle. Japan lay in ruins after being bombed by the allies for years on end. The allies wanted to learn from their mistakes and prevent another war from breaking out. They setup a huge foreign aid scheme that made sure infrastructure was rebuilt, industries modernised and trade agreements established. Japan basically went through its own modern industrial revolution. Their economy exploded by the 60s and they made intelligent investments into industries that leveraged the country's unique position in the world at the time.
The key reason why it wasn't just a bubble but a well played strategy is because Japan avoided entering the middle income trap. Countries like Brazil industrialise very quickly and then when people's wages become too high, they're unable to compete with similar developing countries. Japan's GDP per capita is around 40k, which is double what is required to exit the global middle class (20k), placing them firmly in the global upper class.
So my point is, the Japanese used the situation to enter the developed world and secure itself economically. Countries that experience a bubble are unable to leverage that boon in order to succeed in the long term (Brazil being a prime example).
Japan's stagnation is not down to a bubble ending, but a lack of good investments and innovation. There's also the major problem of a heavily ageing population that will require more and more support from the young in the coming years. It's the first time that we've seen a sufficiently advanced economy go through this situation and so it'll be the first time we see whether there is a successful method for dealing with the problem. The US uses impressive levels of immigration to make up for declining birth rates, so no problems there. Japan and China can't use immigration in the same way due to their cultures.
Anyway, Japan should be able to survive the coming trials. China is the one that will really be in the deepest shit when their population starts decreasing rapidly due to the one child policy and then their massive investments into home ownership will cause their economy to completely spiral into doom.
@@Zei33 The bubble broke partly because of US intervention. The Japanese Yen was going to become more powerful than the US dollar and so some shenanigans were pulled.
Also currently Japan wont survive
-Massive debt
-Rising suicide rates
-Decreasing Birth-rates
- Severe social issues (Sexism, lack of support for mental health. etc)
If the suicide rates continue to rise and the birth rates fall, Japan will start to see loss of function in parts of the country
Oh that's already happening in rural towns.
Whats worse is that the current ruling party (The one the citizens keep voting for) don't do anything to help
Instead of trying to solve the issues they stick there heads in the sand and ignore it.
So no, Japan wont survive at the rate its going
Its economy might be doing fine but guess where that wealth is?
Not with the people
Evidence of this?
Most Japanese live in small homes
Rise in the homeless population (Side note: Instead of trying to help the homeless the Government policy is to stick them where they wont be seen)
@@mk_gamíng0609 while you’re right about the debt, the suicide rates are really a non issue. You make it sound like a far bigger issue than it is. I live in Australia and our suicide rate is almost the same. We’re talking a rate of 0.012%. It’s also far lower than the US suicide rate.
On social issues, this is very much a cause of an ageing population that doesn’t accept new ideas. I’ve spent time speaking with Japanese people from 20 to 45 years old and the younger generations are fairly enlightened. There should be a large amount of social change coming down the pipeline as the older generation phases out.
I’m also aware that our foreign perception of the support for mental health that Japan gives is not completely accurate. I have bi polar disorder and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get my medication while I live in Japan. Turns out there was no problem on that front.
Anyway, the only real issue you brought up was the debt and declining birth rates, and yes, the debt will be a major sticking point. Declining birth rates are expected to equalise eventually.
That brings me back to my original point. Japan needs young innovators. People that can push social change and economic reform. With a new wave of progress, the country should be able to overcome the challenge ahead of them.
They have a far better chance of weathering the coming storm than China does.
As someone who works on local campaigns in the U.S. I found this mini-documentary about campaigning in Japan absolutely fascinating. Thank you for sharing this and I wish Shun all the best next time he runs!
This was some really good work ryotaro, can't wait to see what you have in store for us next
Great documentary Ryotaro. I always hear and see these campaigns down here in Okayama and always wonder why they do what they do. This was a beautiful short glimpse into that aspect of life for Japanese people. As a foreigner living in Japan, this is one of those aspects that we don't often get access to. Subscribed! Thank you!
As the famous saying goes, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."
Shun is a man who never gives up. Tome and the rest of Japan needs change as the country continues to progress. As the older generations die out, it is the much younger voices that matter most now. As the youth are the ones that can make the change that Japan needs. But that change can only happen, if their voices are heard
I'm Shun!
Thanks for your comment!
We are moving forward with hope!
I will do my best to revitalize the town in response to changes!
I am happy with everyone's comments.
I wish you all the best Ajiki Shunsuke, in your political life and general; it's always important for young folks to know and care about the politics that effect their lives and country. Much respect.
When I saw this man’s passion for improving a place that he could pass on to the next generation, I knew he would’ve had my vote. (You know, if I wasn’t American. 😂)
Wow I must admit that this video kind of blew me away. No shying away from the sometimes taxing methods of election and the reality of how much work goes into it. It’s definitely up there as far as quality is concerned! Honestly this should get recommended more, wouldn’t be out of place on Chris’ documentary videos!
This is really interesting, thanks Ryotaro!
Incredibly different from us, and thus so incredibly fascinating. Show me more, Ryotaro-san.
Gosh, Ryotaro!! This was absolutely amazing! Really proud of how much you evolved as a filmmaker! I was brought to tears as I saw his family and friends earnestly helping him promote his election campaign... Also, it was a joy to get to know this side of Japanese culture and society! Please, keep these documentaries coming!
A really captivating video which I found myself getting drawn into really quickly. Was not expecting it to be that interesting in all honesty. I agree with the other comments that I really liked this style and thought you presented the content really well. Great video Ryotaro!
(Also I hope Shun finds more success soon as he seems like a genuinely great guy who cares about his community)
I really like these kind of content... Different from your's and Chris Broad. A life documentary, a human story, and has a lot of heart and emotions. A real eye-opener for someone who is really interested to know other's life and culture. I felt like Im watching something like a BBC or Discovery documentary, the cinematography are topnotch..
Did you see Chris' Fukushima documentary/video? That was the first I watched of his and what got me into their videos. I enjoy the humour and light-hearted videos, but these types of content are my favourite (although I understand they must take more work to produce)
What a wonderful story Ryotaro - and so very different than the political campaigns run in the West. Super intimate and interesting. Please thank Shunsuke Ajiki for allowing us to see behind the curtain, and awesome job crafting this story. I've often felt that Chris, by nature of being a foreigner living in Japan, doesn't have your ability to go truly inside and past that cultural line that may exist. Super excited to see more of this content from you personally on your channel!
I've heard about how elections go in Japan before, but this is the first time I've actually seen how things are run there. It's really different from how things are where I live; I love that you brought this kind of content to us. It was really powerful, much respect to Shun and his team!
Hi Shun,
Thank you for letting us be part of your campaign. I was deeply amazed by your hard work and determination. I can't imagine how much energy it must've took you to do that for 6 days straight - wow!
Your speach in the end when everything was lost was very strong. Next cycle you'll be a great council member!
Greetings from Germany
Interesting stuff! Looks absolutely exhausting though.
Election season is hell for anyone that enjoys peace and quiet haha
Absolutely amazing Ryotaro. Production quality is great. As someone who is moving to Japan later this year, it was great to see behind the scenes of what makes Japan run. Keep up the good work.
