In the video, the candidate from the NHK party is sitting at a table wearing a striped shirt, addressing voters in a sweet voice typical of Japanese cartoons. “I am so cute. Please watch my campaign broadcast,” she says with a shy smile.
Suddenly, Uchino, 33 years old, begins to undress, revealing a tight top the color of her skin. Then she leans in a position that makes it look to the camera as if she isn’t wearing a shirt. She then takes off her glasses and finishes her speech.
Posted on X (Twitter) at the end of June, the video has already gathered more than 44 million views. Many internet users, however, have criticized Uchino’s behavior, accusing her of seeking attention and not taking her candidacy seriously.
“We live in a world where people who do something unusual win. But a person without substance will always be exposed,” wrote one user on X. “No matter how much is said about freedom of expression in elections, this goes against the public interest,” lamented another.
