Question from a Reader:
I saw Takashi Tachibana being criticized during his street speech in Umeda, with people shouting “Go home!” and “Liar!” He threatened, saying, “That’s election interference. You’ll be arrested,” but it seemed to have no effect at all. Will this situation continue in the future? Additionally, he claims he will run for the House of Councillors election from
Hyogo, but will the reactions be completely different from the governor’s election six months ago?
Takashi Tachibana’s Street Speech and Its Reactions
Recently, I witnessed Takashi Tachibana giving a street speech in Umeda. There were voices of criticism all around, with shouts of “Go home!” and “Liar!” At that moment, Tachibana threatened, saying, “That’s election interference. You’ll be arrested,” but the reactions from those nearby were cold. It was as if his words weren’t resonating at all. This moment made me realize that street speeches can sometimes evoke unexpected reactions.
Future Prospects
I find myself contemplating whether such situations will continue in the future. As the conflict between supporters and opponents intensifies, I am very curious about how his style and message will evolve. In particular, the news of him running for the House of Councillors election from Hyogo might be completely different from the governor’s election six months ago. Back then, he had many supporters, but what will it be like this time? I am paying close attention to how his charisma and street speech style will influence the outcome. In reality, election activities are not just a battle of numbers. It’s all about how to capture people’s hearts. When you’re at a street speech, you observe various reactions from the crowd. Some respond with smiles, while others show complete indifference, and some even express their anger. How candidates behave in such situations can significantly affect the subsequent election results. I’ve attended street speeches a few times and found myself laughing at moments. For example, there was a candidate who slipped up during their speech, and the venue erupted in laughter. Election activities carry both tension and a sense of enjoyment.
