Purple T-Shirt Group Ishimaru Madams Boosts Shinji Ishimaru’s National Profile Despite Election Loss

Ishimaru gained real popularity from his success on social media, and this made him well-known across the country. As a result, just before the election, Takiyama “X”

“Looks like the bandwagon effect has finally kicked in. Candidate Shinji Ishimaru. He’s so interesting, let’s all go vote!”

And mentioning Ishimaru again must have had a significant impact as well. 

 

“The contents of his speeches weren’t particularly concrete, but he managed to gather such a large number of votes. His refreshing appearance and lively speech style are quite attractive for television as well. Some TV stations may even consider offering him roles as a commentator in the future. However, it might be challenging for him if he decides to step into national politics.” (TV station insider) 

On June 29th, Ishimaru appeared on former Miyazaki Governor and celebrity Hideo Higashikokubaru’s YouTube channel “Jiji Hodan TV” on the segment “Sonomama Miyazaki”. He had a discussion with Higashikokubaru. Ishimaru mentioned that he was interviewed by TBS’s “Sunday Japon” after a street speech. Higashikokubaru commented that even if Ishimaru were to lose the election

“It seems like this person might join the Sunday Japon family.”

However, he predicted that, but did he really? In any case, “Ishimaru Madams” will continue to support him and undoubtedly become a significant force in the future.
