It’s local election time again in Japan. Candidates stand outside train stations wielding megaphones and wishing everyone good morning. Signs are erected with the various candidate’s posters extolling their virtues with winning smiles.

Wait a minute winning smile? That’s a grimace of the first order! Come on man you can do it! Stretch those mouth muscles! No don’t cry, smile! Smile!
