Japan's new first lady a hometown favorite; more popular than husband

I think this is fine

A spirited chase? Who'd a thought it? I imagined some kind of dynastically-inspired omiai.

Guys, Tottori is empty!

Nice Lady.

Get her to run the country; couldn’t do any worse than her husband or the leagues of withering old men in the LDP that have come before.

She should be the next prime minister! Break the glass ceiling!

Japanese people will love ANYONE that is famous or infamous, so long as that person is from their hometown, like it also makes THEM important. Remember the Hokkaido politician Muneo Suzuki, also a former convict? Well, getting out of prison he was then voted in again by people in his hometown because they "love him" there.

She comes across as a nice first lady.
