七月十一日(shichigatsu jyuichi nichi): July 11

There was an election of the House of Councilors today.
Since I had to work I went to vote last week. This is called kijitsu mae tohyo (期日前投票), voting before the date. They say 12,086,491 people did that in the nationwide which is increasing 11.93 % than last time in 2007. This was the best in history.
Besides the election there were two big sports news. One is the opening of the Grand Sumo Tournament at Nagoya. Since there was a gambling scandal, they decided not to broadcast timely nor to give the emperor cup. This is quite unusual.
The other is the final match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa. Which do you support?
