この1週間に選挙応援 1 Week Campaign

Campaigning to the fireflies (don't ask...)

この1週間は千曲市会議員の選挙の応援活動をやっています。アメリカの大統領の選挙みたいに何年間かからなくて良いけど、その代わりにCandidateの名前を皆に認識してもらうのに1週間しかないと言うのは逆に短すぎない?どちらが良いかとは言えません。取り敢えず、応援活動を頑張ってまいります。
All this week I will be helping out with a colleague's campaign for City Council. I'm glad the campaign process doesn't take months like it does in the U.S. (or years as in the case of the presidential election), but Japan's campaing limitations are way too short. If you only have 1 week to get your name out, you're forced to use the obnoxious campaign sound cars. I can't say which system is better. But I don't have time to worry about it -- I have to get out there again and campaign!
