It's kind of creepy how after local elections ended a few weeks ago and all the other political campaign vans and megaphones petered out, this party, the Happiness Realization Party, has continued sending out its megaphone-equipped vans on their own. I've been seeing them around my town and Osaka for the past couple of months and even have people coming to my door giving me pamphlets (It was a creepy moment when I read this article and recognized the picture of their leader from a handout two women had given me at my door a while ago. At first I thought they were Jehovah's Witnesses, who also tried to convert me earlier in the year, but no, these people are way different).
