First of all, this edition of Seijigiri has been released a few days late due to editing difficulties. Batteries ran out, memory cards filled and mics made strange line noise during recording. So, I decided to release this edition of the show largely unedited. The edits I remember removing are a few coughs, a mic falling over and one loud belch.
This edition of the show begins with a look at Prime Minister Hatoyama’s falling approval ratings (which has become an ongoing theme) and turns to a discussion of the Futenma issue and Hillary Clinton’s (then) upcoming visit to Japan.
After that, discussion turns to the candidacy of Ryoko Tani and we are blessed with a rant from Mr DeOrio.
