六月十九日(rokugatsu jyuku nichi): June 19

I went to Yokosuka (横須賀) to go some shopping for Father's Day. When I came out of the shop, there were so many people on the street. I wondered why.
There will be the House of Councilors (参議院:san gi in) election on July 11. Therefore there was a street speech. The candidate was from the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). But the reason of the crowd was his campaign speech.
Shinjiro Koizumi (小泉進次郎), a member of the House of Representatives (衆議院:shu gi in) from his home election district was there to support him. His father was the former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi (小泉純一郎). His older brother is an actor Kotaro Koizumi (小泉孝太郎). He is 29 years old and became a member of House of Representatives last year. He is the 4th generation politician in his family. His speech was a crisp and clear manner of speaking. He is very popular. He may become a great politician someday.
